Aside from the cliché of meeting your mate, single cruises have plenty to offer independent travellers. Expect a laid-back vibe, where you can mix or enjoy time out alone. Relaxed is the operative word, from informal dining and group activities to late-night dancing without the usual worries of getting home. The fun continues ashore – whether white-water rafting in Alaska or admiring Athens’ Acropolis, you’re in good company.

Pick your cruising pace. Chill out watching the surf or take the plunge with onboard activities, from mastering the trapeze’s giddy heights to tuning your vocal chords with singing lessons.
Early birds catch the best cruise holiday bargains. Save on supplements by booking a single cabin ahead of time, or ask if your cruise line can match you up with a cabin mate to split the costs.
Communal tables make onboard dining a sociable experience on single cruises, or choose cabin service if you want to retreat from the crowds.
When the ship docks adventure abounds, from al fresco dining in Italy to swimming with turtles in the Caribbean and biking through the Canadian wilderness.
