I was recently on a Twitter chat about a cruise and asked the cruise line rep, "Do you have single cabins or do you waive the single supplement on every trip?" and then grilled. They darken and no longer interact with me. Ignoring much of the travel community — the solo traveler (not the solo traveler, because you can be a solo traveler and not single), I think cruise lines continue to leave a lot of money on the table. I like to say, "A cruise is a taste of the destination, so you know if you want to come back and explore more." Cruising has its pros and cons, but for solo travelers it's a great way to travel the world and see multiple destinations in one trip. Once unpacked, be sure to do as much as you like. Whether social or antisocial: There are no rules. If you want to sail solo, the big question is “which boats have single cabins”? I did my best to compile a list of boats and current assignments for each cabin. Keep in mind that numbers are subject to change, but this is a starting point for your cruise research.
My solo cruise vacation
While I've only sailed on a few cruise lines (Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Disney, Norwegian) and had to (reluctantly) pay the single cabin supplement, there has been some (albeit slow) progress in the cruise industry, adding singles to some new ships -/Double cabins and upgrade some older ships when in dry dock. I wrote mineNCL studio cabin reviewjNorwegian EPIC singles loungeDue to my transatlantic voyage from Miami to Barcelona I thought it would be good to know what other options there are for cruising solo. Norwegian started single cabins on the NCL Epic in 2010, and over a decade later I'm still talking about the changes needed in the cruise industry to accommodate solo travelers.
When I traveled from Copenhagen to the Baltic Sea on Princess Emerald (no single cabins), there was a 50% offer that fitted the single supplement into my budget for an inside cabin, but single travelers are charged between 150-200% of the quoted fare value per person . I met a couple on board who refused to spend money on their cruise while booking some cruise tours, wine tasting, wine with my meal etc. Ultimately the cruise made more money for me as a solo traveler than for the couple.
Solo cruise observations
- I applaud Cunard for recognizing the waning need for a photo gallery and casino and repurposing the space to add single staterooms on Queen Mary 2. Fifteen ocean view cabins is a wonderful start.
- I'm happy for himcelebrity borderSingle cabins with terrace but there are so many categories above the lowest interior that it might be a high price for me. It will be a luxury, but a luxury at a price.
- With a guaranteed cabin you can save money, i. H. the shipping company will allocate your cabin to you. You cannot choose the location of the cabin. If you absolutely must be midships, a guaranteed room is not for you.
- Repositioning cruises (aka crossover, transatlantic, transpacific, etc.) can be a fantastic deal for solo travelers: longer days at sea and you get from point A to point B
- Don't be surprised if single cabins are the first to sell out. There are only 4 single cabins on the Norwegian Pride of America, which sails year-round to the Hawaiian Islands.
- If this is your first time cruising alone, it is best to consult a cruise expert to help you choose the right cruise line, ship and itinerary as there are so many options that choosing becomes debilitating.

Single cabins by Cunard Cruise Lines
The Cunard line of luxury ships recently added 15 single cabins to the Queen Mary 2 when the ship underwent a dry dock conversion. The category code is KB and KC and is located midships on decks 2 and 3 as the area used to be the photo gallery and part of a casino (both no longer used I think) so the cabins have windows! The cabins have one double bed and range in size from 159 to 162 square feet. Cunard recently added single cabins,Britannia single cabinsto the other ships in your fleet. Cunard operates transatlantic voyages to and from New York and Southampton, England, as well as intensive itineraries of one month or longer. The ships are luxurious, cater to a larger demographic, and have a Canyon Ranch spa onboard.
Last November prices for a 7 day crossing from New York to Southampton, England were US$1,586 compared to US$699 per person for an inside cabin (single supplement is US$1,398) plus taxes/duties. So you're paying a little more for less space, but for a window overlooking the water. If you have points for a one-way flight to New York or London, this is a smooth and peaceful way to return home.

There are no individual guest suites, so you must book these with an individual surcharge of 200%, as you would any other relevant cabin category that offers more space. Honestly, in my experience, you should sleep and shower in your cabin so the space doesn't have to be too much at an additional cost. Note that single supplement payments earn you 2x Crown & Anchor loyalty points, while booking a single cabin only earns you 1x. So if you're interested in moving up to the elite tiers, this might be something for you to consider. which cabin should be booked.

The category code is much larger than the normal cabin amenities, please note that they are on the verandah (balcony) level. Forward deck 6 has 16 double cabins that mirror the regular infinity balcony cabins but without a sofa (do you ever use the sofa when traveling alone? I don't). With around 142 square meters, including the balcony, they will please the discerning single traveler.
Celebrity is a popular line due to its wellness spa menus, entertainment and self-service wine kiosks; Unfortunately, they do not offer single cabins on their other ships.

Navigate the world alone
So if you're thinking about cruising solo, this is a handy list. While cruise lines are slowing down (very slowly) by adding single cabins or paying a little attention to this long-overlooked group, don't expect more than one or two "singles" on board, which in my experience is a drink. free with the boat crew and some other solo travelers. Solo NCL is conducting Solo Lounge meetings properly for now. If you're interested in meeting people on board, I recommend using Cruise Critic's callboards and Facebook cruise groups to meet in advance, sign up for group cruises, and enjoy drinks at Sailaway. On board, instead of setting a table every night, I like to eat “anytime” and sit at the communal table. Every night you can meet a new group of people to share stories with, and if you're lucky like me, you'll make new friends on cruise ships that you'll be sailing with in the future.
Let me know if you have sailed in a single cabin on any of the previous cruise lines and how it went. Would I pay the single supplement if the stateroom was larger and additional services (or points) were included? What is your dream sailing route?
