A solo cruise is a luxury voyage designed for independent travellers who want to explore the world on their own terms. Unlike traditional holidays, solo cruises give you total freedom - whether you want to join group activities, relax solo, or meet new friends. At Luxury Sassy Cruises, we partner with the world’s best cruise lines to ensure solo guests feel valued, welcomed, and pampered from the moment they step onboard.

Not at all! Today’s luxury solo cruises attract plenty of independent travellers, so you’ll find yourself surrounded by like-minded guests and a warm, welcoming crew. Many of our featured cruise lines host exclusive events, group dinners, and cocktail hours just for solo guests - making it easy to forge new friendships if you wish. And with smaller, boutique ships, you’ll enjoy a close-knit, friendly atmosphere where you’ll never feel left out.

Solo cruising attracts a diverse mix of people: from seasoned world travellers to first-time adventurers, empty nesters, singles by choice, and those ticking off a bucket-list experience. Many of our solo guests are happily married but travelling independently, or perhaps recently divorced, widowed, or simply looking for a new way to travel. Health reasons, lifestyle changes, or a desire for adventure - whatever the reason, solo cruising is for anyone craving freedom, luxury, and discovery.

Accommodation for solo travellers varies by cruise line and ship. Some luxury and river cruises offer dedicated solo cabins - perfectly designed for comfort and privacy - which are usually smaller than double staterooms but thoughtfully appointed. On many ocean ships, you can also book a regular stateroom just for yourself, sometimes with a reduced solo supplement. At Luxury Sassy Cruises, we’ll help you find the best solo cabin options - so you never pay more than you should, and you’ll always enjoy a space that feels like home.

Not unless you want to! Most luxury cruise lines feature open-seating dining, so you can join others for meals or enjoy a table to yourself - every meal is your choice. Many ships also offer special solo travellers’ dinners, group tables, and hosted events where you can meet new friends. Just let your maître d’ or butler know your preference, and you’ll always feel welcome - never awkward.

Absolutely. Modern cruise ships are packed with daily activities - from fitness classes and lectures to wine tastings, shore excursions, and social events just for solo guests. Many solo travellers love joining group tours or enrichment workshops, while others prefer quiet relaxation. With Luxury Sassy Cruises, we’ll recommend sailings with the best solo-friendly programmes, so you can be as social or as independent as you like.

Cruise holidays are among the safest ways to travel solo. Ships have strict security, attentive staff, and a close-knit onboard community - so you can relax and explore with total peace of mind. When ashore, excursions are expertly organised, with transfers and guides included for your safety and comfort. We only work with cruise lines that meet our highest safety standards, ensuring you’re cared for every step of the way.

Book early and let us help! Solo cabins and single-occupancy offers are limited and fill quickly, so it pays to plan ahead. We monitor the latest solo cruise deals, from zero single supplements to exclusive upgrades, and can advise you on the best time to book for maximum value. Plus, we’ll help you compare solo-specific cabins and double staterooms, making sure you never overpay for your perfect holiday.

‘No single supplement’ means solo travellers pay the same per-person rate as couples - without any extra fee for cruising alone. While many cruise lines add a surcharge for solo occupancy, some offer special promotions with zero or reduced solo supplements. Luxury Sassy Cruises tracks these offers and helps you find luxury cruises where you can travel solo, in style, for less.

Yes - last-minute solo cruises are possible, and sometimes you can score a great deal! However, solo cabins and special rates are limited and often sell out early. For the best selection and value, we recommend booking your solo cruise six to twelve months ahead, especially for peak dates or unique itineraries. Thinking of going soon?
