Singles Cruises

Just you and the wide open ocean... well almost. Singles cruises offer a great escape for people who want to chill out alone or for individuals keen to make new friends through a shared sea adventure.

Meet new and exciting people

Gather the best mates or take the plunge and book alone - either way specialised singles cruises offer a great holiday getaway option. Geared specially towards singles, there's plenty of entertainment on board and generally many excursions away from the boat to keep you occupied as you explore exotic terrain on shore and underwater. Alternatively, you may choose to simply relax and do nothing but laze on deck. This is your holiday and you're welcome to spend it as you choose.

Single occupancy cabins have grown in popularity in recent years. Innovative and stylish single cabins can be found on board the Norwegian Epic. Holland America, Crystal, Cunard and Fred Olsen Cruises.

Highlights

Meet like-Minded People: You’ve already picked the same cruise holiday, so you have something in common with your fellow passengers already. Simply get out there and take part in group activities and shore excursions.
Security: Many people holidaying alone feel vulnerable to theft or crime. A cruise holiday provides a safe environment for people travelling on their own.
Dining: If you choose a cruise with allocated dinner seating at a large table, you’ll have instant companions and never eat alone.
Solo Parties: Many cruise lines host parties for solo travellers so it's easy to make new friends.

Singles Cruise Myths

These common misconceptions about singles cruises arose because in the past cruise holidays were geared towards couples and groups. Nowadays cruise lines realise that singles cruises are hugely popular and the industry has evolved to meet the needs of solo passengers.

Myth: Singles cruises cost twice as much per person.
Reality: Traditionally this was the case. Some cruise lines still place a hefty supplement on singles but operators have wised up to the fact that cruise holidays are hugely popular with solo travellers. New cruise liners have more single occupancy cabins and offer events geared towards single cruisers.

Myth: Everyone is looking for romance.
Realitiy: Not true. There will always be wannabe Romeos and Juliets but most solo cruisers are there for a great holiday and to meet friendly people just like you.

Myth: Singles cruises are boring.
Reality: Only if you make it. With so many planned and unplanned activities on-board and on-shore, you’ll have plenty to keep you occupied.
