Best Cruises & Cruise Lines For Solo Travelers
Cruising is the perfect vacation for solo travelers who want their own independence but also want the flexibility to join activities or dine with other travelers. Luckily, many cruise lines are very welcoming to singles and even have special programs and accommodations to make solo travelers feel right at home. Here are some of the best cruise lines for singles. 
Norwegian
Norwegian Cruise Line was the first cruise line to build solo traveler staterooms and common areas specifically where single cruiser can mingle and meet each other.
Many NCL ships, like the EDGE, feature studio staterooms that are the perfect sized room for solo cruising. During each of Norwegian's sailings there are plenty of opportunities to meet fellow passengers. Down the hall, the Studio Lounge is available for all solo travelers and it’s a great way to meet other single cruisers. The sleek hangout area has big screen TVs, a specialty coffee maker, and a bartender serving up drinks for the daily hosted happy hour gatherings. The Norwegian cruise staff host bar crawls around the ship and other fun activities, just for singles!
Cunard
Singles looking for an ultra-luxury cruise, will be welcomed aboard Cunard. The Cunard staff organizes events for singles to meet other solo travelers as well as other passengers, like team trivia and expert-led lectures, and coffee gatherings.
For meals, singles can dine together and gentleman hosts are available to escort solo female travelers to dinner and will serve as your dance partner.
Lodging-wise, Cunard's ships offers single, ocean view cabins (including the Queen Mary 2) that feature oversized picture windows so solo travelers can enjoy the sights. Solo travelers will always feel welcome and busy on board Cunard.
Holland America
Holland America Line's Single Partners Program finds you a same-sex, nonsmoking passenger to share a twin cabin with, so you each pay only the per-person double-occupancy rate. The best part is you won’t be charged an additional fare if they don’t find you another single cruiser. If you’re a single traveler who prefers to have your own room, some Holland America cruise ships are outfitted with up to a dozen solo cruise ocean view cabins, perfectly sized to have your own space.
Each Holland America ship hosts Solo Travelers mixers, cocktail parties, games and more for singles to meet each other early during their cruise. Across all Holland America ships, there are dozens of fun and exciting activities where singles can mingle including: exercise classes, wine tasting, cooking demonstrations, lectures, line dance class, sports challenges and more.
Cruising eliminates many of the hassles typically associated with independent travel, which can be more stressful when you’re alone. Solo cruisers get the safety and security of being part of a group, while also being able to spend time alone whenever they wish. Every year, more and more cruise lines are embracing solo travelers.
