TRAVEL SOLO, BUT NOT ALONE

These days travelling solo is becoming more and more popular, whether guests are travelling with a larger group or with a friend and need their own space; or if they are simply just taking some time out for themselves, there are plenty of options to choose from when selecting a cruise.

Many cruise lines are responding to this growing market segment and are investing in ways to better cater to solo travellers. A number of cruise lines including Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise line and Holland America Line to name a few have now added solo cabins to new and existing ships. Other cruise lines such as Silversea, Pandaw and Cruise & Maritime Voyages offer solo travellers either zero or low single supplements on select sailings making travelling as a single more affordable.

Just as important as price is the importance to be able to meet like-minded passengers onboard and these days cruise lines have introduced extensive singles programs onboard, making it easier for solo passengers to meet.

• Holland America Line, Cunard Line and Crystal Cruises all have such programs and go a step further to ensure solo travellers don’t miss out and employ gentlemen hosts to accompany single passengers on the dance floor.
• Norwegian Cruise Line is another stand out offering ‘Sailing Solo Social’ events, and an exclusive solo lounge onboard select ships.
