Singles Cruises

If you are interested in cruising, but don't have a companion - don't worry! Many cruise lines are recognizing the large market of individuals who want to cruise solo and are catering to them in new and interesting ways.

Singles can take a wine-tasting class, listen to interesting guest lecturers, join bridge tournaments, attend special singles cocktail parties, and participate in planned, shore excursions. There is a host of activities both on and off the ship. For those that want time to be alone and relax, there are high-tech fitness centers, luxurious spas, and fully-stocked libraries. Cruising also offers singles the ability to dine with other singles (whenever possible) or with couples and families who share a love of cruising.

Single Supplement

Generally, a single cruise traveler must pay a single supplement ranging from 110% to 200% of the double occupancy rate. Crystal Cruises offers select sailings to single travelers with only a 25% single supplement. Ask your Cruise Consultant about which sailings apply.

Single Share Cabins

Certain cruise lines hold a few cabins on a "single share" basis. This means the single cruiser agrees to share a stateroom with another single guest of the same sex and pays the per person, double occupancy rate. In the event that the cruise line does not find a cabin-mate for you, the solo cruiser still only pays the per person, double occupancy rate.

Single Cabins

Cunard Line offers a small number of cabins specifically designated for single travelers at an additional charge. These cabins are only available on select sailings and ships.

Gentleman Host Program

Holland America Line and Crystal Cruises all offer a "gentleman host" program for unescorted, female, senior travelers. These hosts are carefully screened and available for dining, dancing, and enjoying onboard/off-board activities.
