Cruising for Singles

Cruising is great for single travellers. It offers a safe and secure environment in which to meet people and make friends.

There are lots of organised activities and social events to keep you busy night and day if you wish. Also there are usually quiet places where you can seek tranquility. Many ships organise singles cocktail parties and will put singles on the same dining tables where requested.

There are no singles only cruises yet but younger and fun seeking cruisers might prefer larger ships and cruise lines like Carnival, Royal Caribbean or Ocean Village - however single supplements might be a problem. More mature lady cruisers might be interested in the lines that provide Gentlemen Hosts for dancing and conversation.

Some cruise lines cater better than others for single passengers. Few of the newer boats have single cabins although Costa's new ships do have them. Others set aside a limited number of twin cabins for sole use at a supplement to the normal one person fare. There are also cabin share programmes that will pair you with a traveller of the same sex to share a twin cabin. BOOK EARLY if you want one of these options - they go quickly.

To help you find the right cruise, we have selected the cruise lines that provide single cabins, share programmes, gentlemen hosts and fare supplements below 50% for sole occupancy of a twin cabin. The Singles Search will check these lines for cruises on your dates (not availability) or you can click on the line name to review their cruises.

Most River Cruise Lines have low supplements for sole occupancy of a twin cabin so we would suggest that you visit the River Cruises page and use the Quick Search there to find a suitable cruise.
