Solo cruises are a fantastic way to explore the world on your own terms. Whether you’re craving peace and quiet, looking to meet new people, or just want the freedom to do what you want, when you want – cruising solo offers it all. Many cruise lines now cater specifically to solo travellers with dedicated single cabins, hosted meetups, and no single supplements on select sailings.

Ambassador Cruise Line
Great for solo travellers, with hosted meetups and solos’ lunches on cruises of 6+ nights. Solo cabins are available at discounted rates.

Carnival
Not ideal for solos. No solo cabins, and meetups are unhosted and often awkwardly located in busy bars.

Celebrity Cruises
Stylish solo cabins (some with balconies) and hosted events make it a luxe choice for independent travellers.

Costa Cruises
Budget-friendly with occasional no-supplement solo fares. No formal solo events, but sociable dining and activities help you meet others.

Cunard Line
Traditional cruising with daily solo meetups, dance hosts, and single staterooms—perfect for classic cruise lovers.

Disney Cruise Line
Family-focused but solo-friendly. Hosted Cruisin’ Solo events help adults connect while kids are in clubs.

Fred. Olsen
Great for mature solos. Relaxed group meetups, dance hosts, and solo cabins (including balconies) make it easy to mingle.

Holland America Line
Some solo events, mostly unhosted. Better for longer cruises where guests have more time to connect.

Marella Cruises
All-inclusive and solo-friendly with regular hosted meetups and dining flexibility. Several solo cabin types.

Norwegian Cruise Line
Leader in solo cruising. Studio cabins, a solo lounge, and hosted events make it a top pick for independent travellers.

P&O Cruises
Daily solo coffee meetups but no host or designated area. Flexible dining options but limited effort overall.

Princess Cruises
One hosted solo event on day one, then you’re on your own. Dining flexibility helps, but events are minimal.

Royal Caribbean
Some solo cabins but few hosted events. Most meetups are unhosted and held in busy, unclear venues.

Virgin Voyages
Perfect for sociable solo travellers. No-supplement deals, hosted events, app-based connections, and a party vibe onboard.
