Travelling on your own, but never alone

You’re not waiting on anyone... not for dinner plans, not for museum tickets, and definitely not for the holiday of a lifetime. Whether you’re flying solo by choice, ticking off a bucket list while your partner stays home, or simply craving some ‘me time’ a solo cruise is more than a trip. It’s your chance to step into the world at your own pace, on your own terms, and discover just how wondrous travelling on your own can be.

You’ll love waking up in a new destination each day, with nothing to do but follow your own curiosity. Join a group shore excursion one day, wander quiet backstreets the next. Or skip the schedule altogether and soak in the view with your morning coffee and a good book. This is freedom at sea, and it feels incredible.

The best cruise lines are making solo travel not just possible, but positively delightful. You’ll find single rooms designed especially for solo guests (no hefty single supplements here!), dedicated solo lounges, group dinners, and even mixers and meet-ups to help you connect with other like-minded travellers. 

So whether you're a social butterfly or a quiet observer, there’s a space - and a pace - that’s just right for you.

• Cunard offers elegant voyages across Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and beyond, complete with dedicated solo staterooms and plenty of chances to dress up and mingle (or not).
• Norwegian Cruise Line was one of the first to design entire solo traveller complexes... think private studios, exclusive lounges, and social hosts that make making friends a breeze.
• Princess Cruises welcomes solos aboard with enriching activities, destination talks, and immersive shore tours in places like Japan, Hawai‘i and South America.
• Silversea and Regent Seven Seas offer ultra-luxe options where solo travellers are treated like VIPs,  perfect for when you want pampering and independence.
• Love the idea of intimate, off-the-beaten-track travel? Ponant, Aurora Expeditions and HX Expeditions run incredible small ship journeys, perfect for solo travellers craving a pinch-me moment every day.
• And don’t overlook river cruising: lines like Uniworld and AmaWaterways often offer solo specials and attract a community of fellow independent travellers looking to explore Europe’s charming towns and waterways.

Every cruise has its own flavour, but the best ones for solo travellers are those that understand the joy of choice... the joy of freedom. Whether it’s dancing with new friends under Caribbean stars or standing in silent awe on the deck of a ship slicing through Antarctic ice, you’re not travelling alone. You’re travelling with possibility.
