Best Cruises For Solo Travelers
Once upon a time, solo travel and cruising simply didn't mix since most operators charged hefty single supplement fees, meaning those looking to enjoy a vacation alone would have to pay twice as much for themselves. But now that single travelers are so common, many cruise lines are offering solo cabins.
"My best advice is to book as early as possible, as there are deals to be had and solo rooms book up quickly due to demand," Tempest advises. Chiron cautions some do still tend to be expensive, and confined to smaller inside cabins.
Curry says she's a fan of Ponant, which almost always has more than 100 itineraries available with no single supplement fees. "These trips span the globe and not only are you able to get a nicer cabin for the budget, but you are likely to have lots of other solo travelers onboard also taking advantage of these deals," she says. As of press time, the list included the 14-night Northeast Greenland's Unexplored Sea Ice and the seven-night Celtic Secrets and Landscapes from London to Glasgow.
