Best for Solo Travellers - Cruise Critic's 2023 Editors' Picks Awards

The best experiences last a lifetime - solo travel is one of them. The ability to explore, take chances, meet new people and do what you want when you want. To trade stories, and cocktails, with like-minded travellers from around the world. Or to sail with a group, on your own terms. Now when you cruise solo with Norwegian, you'll enjoy more freedom and choice than ever. We've doubled the number of Solo Staterooms across our fleet by adding Solo Balcony and Oceanview rooms, in addition to Inside rooms and Studios. The best part? The savings! Traditional double occupancy rates do not apply. So come aboard with friends or family - or take time to meet new people, then watch the sunset from your private balcony. After all, you're pretty good company.

Exclusively for one

Studio staterooms.

Studio Stateroom for Singles Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Line was the first cruise line to build staterooms and common areas specifically for the single cruiser. Our Studios are the perfect sized room for solo cruising and the Studio Lounge is a great way to meet other single cruisers.

The choice is yours

Additional staterooms.

Prefer a room with a view or with additional space to unwind? We offer Balconies, Oceanview and Inside Staterooms for solo travellers. All Solo Staterooms include exclusive access to the Studio Lounge* where you can unwind and meet other solo cruisers. And save money when you book - these rooms are priced exclusively for solo travelers!

* Studio Lounge and accessibility varies by ship.

The Ultimate Carnival Singles Cruise Guide

Embarking on a singles cruise can be the start of an unforgettable adventure, and there’s no better way to dive into this exhilarating experience than with Carnival’s renowned singles cruises.

Imagine setting sail on a voyage where every detail is curated with the sole purpose of connecting you with like-minded adventurers, all while basking in the luxury and excitement of a Carnival cruise ship.

This guide is your first step into a world where the sea becomes your backdrop for romance, friendship, and endless entertainment.

Are Carnival Cruises Good For Singles?

Carnival Cruises are a fantastic choice for singles looking to dive into the cruising lifestyle, and there are several compelling reasons why.

1. Vibrant Social Scene

Carnival Cruises are renowned for their lively atmosphere and dynamic social scene.

With a diverse array of onboard activities and events specifically designed to encourage interaction and fun, you’ll find it incredibly easy to meet new people. From themed nights and dance parties to group activities and workshops, there’s always something happening that brings singles together.

2. Tailored Activities for Singles

Understanding the unique dynamics of solo travelers, Carnival often organizes events that are exclusively for singles. These can range from welcome mixers on the first day to special excursions that are perfect for making connections.

These activities are not just about meeting potential romantic interests; they’re also great for finding travel buddies and making new friends.

3. Diverse Age Groups

Group of singles on a cruise

One of the best things about Carnival singles cruises is the wide range of age groups they attract. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond, you’ll find fellow travelers in the same stage of life.

This diversity ensures that everyone can find peers to connect with, making the cruise experience enjoyable for all.

4. Freedom and Flexibility

Traveling solo on a Carnival Cruise offers an unparalleled level of freedom and flexibility. You can choose to join in the group activities or explore on your own.

It’s the perfect balance of having the opportunity to be social when you want and finding moments of solitude when you need them. Plus, with the ship’s staff always ready to assist, you’ll feel well taken care of throughout your journey.

5. Safe and Secure Environment

For singles, safety can be a significant concern, but Carnival Cruises provide a secure environment where you can relax and enjoy your vacation. With security measures in place and a crew that’s always on hand to assist, you can feel safe as you meet new people and explore new destinations.

Don’t Forget The Mixers

Carnival Cruises goes above and beyond to ensure that every solo traveler feels welcomed and included, making it an exceptional choice for anyone setting sail on their own. One of the standout features of Carnival Cruises is their inclusive approach to social gatherings, offering dedicated singles mixers and LGBT meet-ups. These events are a golden opportunity to connect with fellow solo travelers who share similar interests and are looking to make new friends or perhaps find that special someone.

Attending these mixers and meet-ups can transform your cruise experience, providing a warm and friendly environment where connections are natural and effortless. Whether you’re looking to share a laugh over a cocktail, find a companion for shore excursions, or enjoy a dinner with new friends, these gatherings are designed to create moments of connection and camaraderie.

To take your social planning to the next level, joining a Facebook group for your specific sailing is a brilliant move. These online communities are a hub for pre-cruise introductions and organizing meet-ups. By connecting with other singles before you even step on board, you can arrange to meet a group of like-minded travelers, ensuring you have a friendly face to look forward to seeing on the ship. This pre-cruise connection can make your embarkation day even more exciting, knowing that your solo adventure is already off to a social start.

Joining these groups not only allows for arranging meet-ups but also serves as a platform for sharing tips, excursions plans, and maybe even finding a cabin mate to avoid single supplements. It’s a resourceful way to maximize your cruise experience, ensuring that from day one, you’re part of a community looking to make the most out of their Carnival cruise adventure.

So, if you’re embarking on a Carnival cruise solo, remember to check out the singles mixers and LGBT meet-ups onboard. And don’t forget to join your sailing’s Facebook group ahead of time. It’s these connections that can turn a great vacation into an unforgettable journey filled with new friendships and incredible memories.

List of Carnival Singles Cruises In 2024

carribean beach

Throughout 2024 Carnival have scheduled a series of unforgettable journeys where each cruise offers its own unique adventure, setting sail to some of the most breathtaking destinations the world has to offer.

  • 10 March 2024  – Western Caribbean cruise on Carnival Horizon (6 nights)
  • 25 May 2024  – Memorial Day Caribbean cruise on Carnival Horizon (8 nights)
  • 27 June 2024  – Alaska cruise on Carnival Luminosa (7 nights)
  • 13 July 2024  – Caribbean cruise on Carnival Celebration (8 nights)
  • 7 September 2024  – Caribbean cruise on Carnival Firenze (7 Nights)

Does Carnival Have Single Cabins?

Navigating the world of solo cruising with Carnival may look a bit different compared to other cruise lines, particularly when it comes to accommodations. It’s noteworthy that Carnival does not offer single staterooms, a unique aspect that sets it apart from some of its competitors. This means that solo travelers are required to book double staterooms and, in turn, face a single supplement fee. This fee often equates to 100% of the cost, essentially requiring solo travelers to cover the expense as if for two guests. Such a policy underscores the importance of planning and budgeting for those looking to embark on a Carnival cruise alone.

However, it’s not all set in stone. Carnival understands the unique position of solo travelers and occasionally offers special deals to make solo cruising more accessible and affordable. These deals often come in the form of reduced or even waived single supplements, providing a much-welcomed relief for those traveling by themselves. These promotions typically emerge around 12 weeks before departure, targeting ships with higher availability. For savvy solo travelers, keeping an eye out for these deals can significantly enhance the affordability of a solo cruise adventure, making the dream of setting sail on the open seas more attainable. Always stay connected with Carnival’s offers and be ready to seize these opportunities when they arise, as they can turn a solo cruise from a costly endeavor into a value-packed, unforgettable experience.

Does Carnival Have Adults-Only Cruises?

While Carnival Cruise Line is renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere and wide array of activities suitable for guests of all ages, it does not specifically offer cruises that are exclusively for adults. However, understanding the desire of many adults for spaces where they can relax and enjoy a child-free environment, Carnival has thoughtfully included adult-only areas within most of its ships. These dedicated spaces allow adults to enjoy a serene and more mature atmosphere away from the family buzz.

Among these adult-centric havens is the Cloud 9 Spa Thermal Suite, offering a tranquil spa experience with various thermal therapies designed to soothe and rejuvenate. For those looking to try their luck or enjoy some adult entertainment, the onboard casino provides a vibrant nightlife option. Additionally, the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is a standout feature, offering an outdoor oasis where adults can unwind in peace, enjoying plush loungers, whirlpools, and a bar service, all without the presence of younger guests.

For those specifically seeking an adults-only cruising experience, there are unique opportunities through third-party charters. Occasionally, companies will charter Carnival ships to host specialized adult-only cruises, offering unique themes and atmospheres tailored to adult preferences. One notable example is the Big Nude Boat, a clothing-optional cruise that caters exclusively to guests aged 21 and over. These charters provide an alternative for adults looking for a cruise experience with an adult-oriented focus, allowing for booking directly onto these specialized voyages. While these offerings are less frequent and require a bit of research to find, they represent a compelling option for adults seeking a Carnival cruise with an exclusively adult guest list.

Final Thoughts

Carnival Cruises offers a vibrant, inclusive, and fun-filled option for singles looking to explore the seas and meet new people. While Carnival doesn’t provide specific single cabins, they do offer a variety of accommodations and occasionally, special deals that make solo cruising more accessible. Their ships are a haven for adults seeking both relaxation and adventure, with exclusive adult-only areas like the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, the Cloud 9 Spa, and lively casinos. Additionally, for those seeking an exclusively adult atmosphere, third-party charters on Carnival ships cater to unique adult-only experiences, such as the Big Nude Boat.

Embarking on a Carnival cruise as a solo traveler opens up a world of possibilities. From connecting with fellow singles through specially curated events and mixers to finding peace in adult-only spaces, there’s something on board for every type of traveler. Carnival’s dedication to creating memorable experiences is evident in their wide range of activities, destinations, and accommodations designed to meet the diverse needs of their guests.

If you’re yearning for adventure, camaraderie, and the chance to make unforgettable memories, now is the perfect time to book your Carnival singles cruise. Whether you’re looking to dive into the vibrant social scene, relax in exclusive adult-only areas, or take advantage of special solo traveler deals, Carnival has you covered. Don’t let the opportunity to experience the trip of a lifetime slip away. Visit Carnival today to explore your options, find the perfect cruise, and embark on a journey that will leave you with stories to tell for years to come. Book your Carnival cruise today and set sail on an adventure that’s as unique as you are.

Relax by the pool, attend shows, dine with new friends and more on your next solo cruise.

Whether you're embarking on your first cruise alone or you've been on solo cruises before, single travelers will find more options than ever when it comes to cruising solo. Many cruise lines offer single staterooms with the same amenities as other cabins, at a price similar to what you'd pay with double occupancy fares. You'll also find special promotions where the single supplement fee is reduced or waived, making it more affordable to reserve a spacious stateroom or luxurious suite with even more amenities – including personalized butler service, an added perk of booking with many luxury lines .

If you're ready for a maritime adventure, an extended vacation or simply a quick getaway from home, these top cruise lines offer some of the best options for solo travelers on waterways around the world.

These cabins, at an average size of 100 square feet, are designed and priced with the solo traveler in mind. They have no single supplements – and studio rooms on board Norwegian Bliss even boast virtual windows.

Guests of the studios get access to the private Studio Lounge. In this exclusive space, you can socialize with other solo travelers and enjoy complimentary refreshments. There are also singles meetups throughout the voyage and plenty of fun-filled onboard activities to mingle with like-minded cruisers. Solo travelers can check out all the fun for singles on Norwegian Viva this winter on a cruise to the Caribbean , or in spring 2024 as the ship sets sail for the Mediterranean .

MSC World America, set to debut in 2025, will also feature the solo studio staterooms.

During voyages with MSC Cruises , single cruisers are invited to a complimentary, hosted cocktail party to mix and mingle with other solo travelers. The daily program is also an excellent source to discover additional activities, entertainment and opportunities to meet other cruisers. You'll have onboard special events like the themed 70s-inspired Flower Party and the White Party, where the ship is decked out in festive white decor and guests don their best white attire. In addition, there are various sports tournaments, or you can show off your culinary expertise during a MasterChef competition.

MSC's Caribbean and Bahamas cruises departing from Miami and New York City feature an overnight visit to Ocean Cay, the line's private island and marine reserve. While there, singles can participate in fun-filled evening activities like a Champagne Sunset Cruise or a glow paddleboarding excursion in the lagoon, then attend the lively Luna Libre Party and the lighthouse show.

The cruise line's Single Staterooms are priced for one person.

Long committed to solo travelers, the line offers many activities where guests can meet other singles such as wine tastings, cocktail mixers, exercise classes, daily quizzes, sports challenges and more. If you're a solo traveler and a member of AARP, Holland America is now the exclusive cruise benefit provider to AARP's members. Solo cruisers will have access to an AARP member-only onboard credit that ranges from $50 to $200, depending on the itinerary and stateroom category.

For itineraries, Holland America's Alaska cruises and cruisetours are perfect for solo travelers, offering many opportunities to connect with fellow cruisers. Another favorite for singles is the line's fall voyages sailing from Boston to Québec City or Montreal.

Royal Caribbean International features studio staterooms on select ships that range in size from 101 to 199 square feet. These solo accommodations include interior rooms, virtual balcony staterooms and a super studio ocean view stateroom with a balcony. The cabins do not carry the single supplement fee singles encounter when booking other types of staterooms, making them an attractive option when traveling alone.

Once on board the ship, solo cruisers will have countless options to engage and socialize with other travelers. When it comes to dining with Royal Caribbean , make a reservation at the Japanese restaurant Teppanyaki for an entertaining meal with new friends, or join fellow foodies for the intimate Chef's Table experience (the dining venues vary by ship). Singles can also participate in onboard activities like trivia contests, drink seminars, escape rooms, dance classes and pool parties.

If you need more thrills to stay busy and to meet people, Royal Caribbean's ships feature world-class shows and entertainment alongside adrenaline-pumping rides and attractions. If you're sailing in the Caribbean, there are plenty of opportunities to meet and chat with other passengers at the line's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

10 Best Cruises for Singles of All Ages

Here are some of the best cruises for solo travelers at any age.

singles cruises in florida

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

singles cruises in florida

Traveling the world without having to pack and unpack multiple times is ideal. And on a cruise, that's a reality as you head from destination to destination on what is basically a moving luxury hotel (or a floating city, in some cases ).

Being able to sleep in Bratislava and wake up in Budapest in five-star-worthy accommodations without having to drag all your stuff with you is as convenient as it is luxurious. But cruises aren't just for couples or families — they're great for singles as well.

Colleen McDaniel, the editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic , tells Travel + Leisure that cruises are a great place to meet new people. Some ships have single cabins, host parties for single passengers, or even waive the single supplement fee ( river cruises tend to do that most often).

For example, Norwegian Cruise Line offers studio cabins for single travelers that include access to an exclusive lounge with complimentary espresso and snacks. "One of the benefits of sailing as a single is cruises are generally social. That's how they're designed," McDaniel says. "If you're somebody who's comfortable traveling by themselves and looks to make friends on vacation, there's no shortage of people you're going to meet."

But while younger travelers might want to hop around Europe and party every night, someone in their 50s may be interested in a longer cruise with opportunities for cultural immersion. Whatever your travel style, here are the best cruises for singles of any age.

Cruises for Singles in Their 20s

Cruises that last three to five nights are great for singles in their 20s, in part because they're less expensive, McDaniel says. If you do end up having to pay for a single supplement, "it's a little bit less of a hit to your wallet."

New cruise line Virgin Voyages offers exciting journeys aboard their ultra-Instagrammable ship, Scarlet Lady . The four-night Fire and Sunset Soirees cruise from Miami is ideal for travelers in their 20s or 30s looking for a healthy mix of party and wellness. All cruisers must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon boarding.

Another great option is a three-day cruise to the Bahamas from Miami on Norwegian Sky . The ship was refurbished in 2019 and offers 10 dining options, a full-service Starbucks, and a casino for late-night bonding around the blackjack table with your new shipmates. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required upon boarding for guests ages 12 and up.

Cruises for Singles in Their 30s

According to McDaniel, cruisers in their 30s are likely looking for a good mix of "bustling nightlife and engaging in classes, but they also really want to explore and experience culture." She says river cruises that offer things like silent discos and paint-and-wine classes appeal to this age group.

The eight-day Vienna Vibe cruise from U by Uniworld is a great option (note the cruise line is on hiatus until 2023). This cruise line was originally built to cater to millennials, and this itinerary includes excursions like a walking tour of Vienna and biking around Passau. On board, morning yoga classes and a rooftop ice bar ensure guests will always have something to do. A negative COVID-19 test may be required for unvaccinated passengers when entering foreign countries.

Other travelers might want to opt for a South American adventure with National Geographic. The 10-day Upper Amazon river cruise aboard the Delfin II offers a chance to spot diverse wildlife within this impressive ecosystem.

Cruises for Singles in Their 40s

Upscale, bigger cruises on ships from Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity will likely appeal to cruisers in their 40s, McDaniel says. These cruises tend to be a bit more expensive, but "appeal because they have some really great excursions and might go off the beaten path. They're destination-immersive experiences."

The seven-night Galapagos Southern Loop on Celebrity Xpedition is one fantastic option. The Galapagos Islands are a great destination for solo travelers and this cruise is a solid way to see them. Search for sea turtles, sea lions, and blue-footed boobies during the day, and spend the evening in the ship's hot tub or take in one of the nightly lectures by certified naturalists from the Galapagos National Park. All guests must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon entry.

A seven-day Norwegian Fjords cruise aboard Princess Cruises' Sky Princess is an additional option for travelers hoping to explore another part of the world best seen from a ship.

Cruises for Singles in Their 50s

McDaniel says that a river cruise is a great option for someone in their 50s, with some lines waiving the single supplement fee and putting age restrictions on passengers (since you may not want little kids running around). Some companies, she notes, do a great job of hosting single mixers, which adds to the social experience. A cruise along the Danube or Rhine rivers is always a great choice, and there are several lines to choose from.

Sail along the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers on Viking's Grand European Tour , which starts in Amsterdam and ends in Budapest. Along the way, the ship stops in charming towns and major European capitals for a well-rounded trip through continental Europe.

The twelve-day Cities of Light cruise , also from Viking River Cruises, carries passengers between Paris and Prague with several stops in Germany along the way. On board, sip a glass of wine and enjoy the sight of the cities slipping by. For both Viking Cruises, guests must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon boarding.

Cruises for Single Seniors

A world cruise is a great option for seniors, McDaniel says, as they tend to have more free time. These cruises visit multiple countries over a longer period of time, and after a while, the boat feels like home.

"One of the great things about being a senior is you tend to have a far more flexible schedule," she says. "You also likely have a bit more disposable income."

The 71-day Grand Africa Voyage from Holland America Line offers a round-trip journey from Fort Lauderdale, stopping in Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Jordan, Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa, and more on its cruise around the African continent. All guests must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon arrival.

Cunard's Centenary World Voyages is even longer, at 117 nights aboard the Queen Mary 2 . The cruise includes two transatlantic crossings and stops across Asia, South Africa, and Australia, departing and arriving in New York City. On a cruise this long, even the shiest solo traveler is bound to make a few friends. All guests ages 12 and up must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 14 days prior to travel.

Great singles cruises to book and meet fascinating people

Melinda Crow

Start humming the theme song to "The Love Boat" because we're going to do a deep dive into how to find the perfect singles cruises to book if you want to meet people.

Is it possible to meet your forever match on a cruise ship? Absolutely.

An editor I once knew found her true love on an expedition-style cruise. They married within months of returning home and now have two children. Whether it was the thrill of the expedition, the forced digital detox of a remote destination or the close quarters of a small ship, their relationship clearly blossomed on board.

Cruise ships offer a unique way to meet new and often fascinating people, whether you're looking for romance or simply want to enjoy the company of other people vacationing the same way you do.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

There are single cruisers on almost every ship. Some sail solo; others are in friend or family groups. Dining arrangements, onboard activities and port tours make meeting like-minded people easy. Also, it's socially acceptable to strike up conversations with others throughout the ship.

Some cruise lines make it even easier for singles to find each other with solo cabins clustered together and scheduled events for singles.

If you'd like to find companionship at sea, here are our top tips for making the most of a singles cruise.

Tips for making the most of a singles cruise

singles cruises in florida

As on dry land, activities are often the best way to meet people on a cruise. If you love to dance, go where the music is. If water sports are your thing, book a tropical cruise with a schedule of shore excursions that involve snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving and similar activities. Choose tours focused on wildlife watching, historical sites or food and beverage to meet shipmates who enjoy the same.

You'll often find other singles within shore excursion tour groups . However, you can increase your odds by joining social media groups specific to your cruise dates where you can connect pre-cruise with anyone cruising single.

In fact, there are dozens of social media groups dedicated to singles who love to cruise. Some groups focus on specific cruise lines, while others are broader in scope. Either way, they provide an easy opportunity to start a conversation with other singles before you ever set foot on the ship.

Your vessel's daily activity schedule is also a good place to find other singles. Check on the cruise line's app , on the interactive TV in your cabin or in the printed version (if there is one) for planned gatherings of singles, which are often pre-dinner meetups at bars.

A theme cruise is another way to meet people with similar interests. Sailings focus on country music, popular TV shows, wine tasting, crafting and other hobbies and interests. Not only will you likely find plenty of singles ready to mingle, but it might also be easier to strike up a conversation, knowing you have at least one thing in common.

Chartered singles cruises take the work out of finding other singles because you'll travel together in a group, often with a host to organize everyone. On larger ships, the charter will connect you with other group members through planned onboard meals, gatherings and activities. On smaller vessels, the tour company might charter the entire ship, so every passenger is single.

One word of caution here: It's easy to think that meeting someone on a cruise ship takes all the inherent danger out of hanging out with strangers. You're in a confined space surrounded by lots of other people. Sounds safe, right?

While cruising is, overall, incredibly safe, crime on board can happen. Like any form of travel, it's best not to let your guard down, especially if you go off alone with someone you've just met.

Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when seeking other singles on cruise ships is to start with an appropriate cruise line for your age and lifestyle . Here are some great singles cruises for various age groups to help you get started.

Best cruises for singles over 20

singles cruises in florida

For young singles, cruising can sometimes feel like an expensive way to meet people. To avoid the high cost of single supplements charged to solo travelers in standard cabins meant for at least two people, single cruisers can travel with friends and share a room. (Many cabins can sleep up to four.) Also, you might feel more confident heading to the ship's bars or nightclubs in a group.

Try short three- to five-night cruises on low-cost mainstream lines like Carnival , Norwegian Cruise Line or Royal Caribbean , where you'll find more young adults and more of a party scene . Singles on a budget can also save money cruising on older, smaller ships across the mainstream fleets, which typically have lower cruise fares.

Margaritaville at Sea is another good choice for quick and affordable two-night trips to the Bahamas, though you'll need to find love quickly on such a short cruise.

Twentysomethings who have a larger travel budget and wish to cruise on their own can look for cruise lines with solo cabins. These rooms for one are in limited supply, so they can be priced at a premium and sell out quickly.

Related: The 6 best cruise lines for solo travelers

Our top pick for this age group would be a short Carnival cruise from almost any U.S. departure port.

The price is right, there's plenty of onboard fun designed for this age group (great live bands, nightly karaoke, poolside games, trivia and deck parties). It's also a good way to get your feet wet when it comes to cruising as a young single. Carnival ships have many cabins that can sleep several of your besties if you choose not to go alone.

Best cruises for singles over 30

singles cruises in florida

Cruising singles in their 30s have slightly different vacation needs from their younger peers. Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and Carnival are all still great choices for this age group, whether you're traveling on your own or with a group of friends.

Another cruise line that works well for young singles is Virgin Voyages , which is child-free and has rooms and activities designed for singles. Its cheeky, nontraditional vibe is a plus for thirtysomethings.

Use the tattoo you got at the onboard tattoo studio as a conversation starter, make friends at an '80s-themed workout class, or chat up your neighbor at an after-hours cabaret or at a communal table in one of the line's many complimentary restaurants.

Related: A beginner's guide to picking a cruise line

Single parents who vacation with their youngsters might want to add Disney Cruise Line to the list. The kids can enjoy amazing supervised programming in the expansive kids club while mom or dad enjoys adult pleasures like wine tastings, fine dining and dancing — all of which could lead to meetups with other single parents on board.

A warm-climate Royal Caribbean cruise with your best buds can be an ideal option for the over-30 set. We recommend one of the line's newest and biggest ships so you have plenty of options for food, entertainment and hangouts to try. From slides and water attractions that get your heart racing to dance clubs open until the wee hours of the night, these ships have plenty to offer young singles and plenty of places to meet new friends.

Best cruises for singles over 40

singles cruises in florida

Singles in their 40s generally are ready for a little less party and a little more romance on a singles cruise. This age group won't be out of place among festive singles on board Virgin Voyages or Carnival, but Celebrity Cruises is another cruise line to consider.

The line's newer Edge Class ships have a younger, hipper ambience than their older ships. Think martini bars, foodie havens and jazz clubs, all with decor that looks nothing like your parents' cruise ships.

Related: Best cruise ship bars

For those who like to gamble, try the mainstream cruise lines. The large casinos offer yet another opportunity to meet other singles on board — particularly at the table games. Margaritaville at Sea is another line to consider with plenty of gambling singles on board.

For fortysomething singles looking for onboard romance, we suggest a studio cabin for seven nights on NCL's new Norwegian Viva bound for the Caribbean . There's plenty to do on board and in port to help you meet people.

Additionally, the solo cabins, which have been redone in a more elegant style than on some of the line's older ships, provide access to the Studio Lounge for socializing. The lounge has also been revamped, giving it an upscale feel with free daily snacks and drinks. (Note that Norwegian's cabins for one sell out quickly, so you'll want to book early.)

Another great pick would be Virgin Voyages' four-night Fire and Sunset Soiree sailings from Miami on Scarlet Lady . They include stops at Key West and a private beach club on Bimini , plus a sea day to get to know your fellow passengers. The cost for a single "sailor," as Virgin calls them, starts at around $700.

Best cruises for singles over 50

singles cruises in florida

For senior singles cruises, all the previous options are still reasonable choices. However, some lines cater a bit more to this age group. The caveat is that cruise lines that cater to mature travelers are often targeted at couples, with solo travelers skewing older.

Oceania , Azamara and Holland America are tops on this list, especially on their shorter cruises that attract still-working professionals. The ships are large enough to have a mix of singles among the usual crowd of couples but small enough to provide a strong chance of actually meeting those other singles on board.

These lines offer port-intensive itineraries, so book ship tours to connect with like-minded folks on board since you likely won't spend as much time lounging around the pool.

For singles over 50, a Celebrity Cruises itinerary in the Mediterranean will likely include many other singles with whom you can mingle. Mediterranean cruises are popular with active mid-lifers looking to see more of the world. What could be more romantic than cruising the Greek Isles or the Italian coastline?

Best cruises for singles over 60

singles cruises in florida

Single retirees with the freedom to enjoy longer and often more expensive cruises have loads of options for meeting people. The list starts with premium lines like Holland America, Oceania and Cunard , but also Viking and Princess Cruises .

Single travelers in their 60s and older with a large travel budget should consider luxury cruise lines like Seabourn Cruise Line , Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Silversea Cruises . All of these cater to singles with reduced supplement charges and singles meet-and-greets.

Visit the maitre d' on the first day of your cruise to ensure you are seated at the same table or group of tables with other singles for dinner in the main dining room. Dance classes, trivia games and port tours also put you in the right place at the right time to strike up conversations with others looking to make new connections. Social hostesses on luxury lines can introduce you to other solo travelers, too.

Related: Why it's easier to meet new people on a smaller cruise ship

River cruises in Europe are another possibility for singles in this age group. River cruises are inherently social, in part because of the small size of the ships, but also because daily tours put people with shared interests in proximity during walking and bus excursions. There are also choices of specialty theme cruises for LGBTQ+ cruisers , wine lovers, golfers and ancestry seekers, all of which make it easier for singles to meet people on board.

Lines to consider include AmaWaterways , Viking River Cruises, Avalon River Cruises, Emerald Cruises and Uniworld River Cruises. River cruises also sometimes offer reduced single supplements, making them more affordable for those traveling alone.

A top pick for this age group would be an Alaska sailing on Silversea Cruises. This luxury line includes everything in one fare — even many fabulous Alaska excursions you would pay hundreds of dollars for on any other line. The ships are small enough that you can easily meet your fellow travelers, and the excursions make it easy to share experiences with other singles on board.

Bottom line

The romance of a cruise is undeniable. From dressy dinners to the moon's glow on the ocean waves, cruising can feel like a setting straight from a Hollywood film. Though not as simple as swiping right, cruising to meet other singles has appeal.

Choosing the right cruise line and activities can help you narrow your potential candidates. Looking for an outdoor adventurer? Choose active tours in port. Want to share your love of music, wine or Blackjack with someone? Pick a theme cruise focused on your passion.

If you just want to dance the night away with singles in your own age group, there's a ship for you — whether your jam is rock 'n' roll, hip hop or a classic waltz.

Also, you lose nothing by trying. Even if you don't meet the partner of your dreams, you'll enjoy a fantastic cruise vacation.

Best Carnival Singles Cruises 2024+ Tips to Meetup

If you happen to be single, you might be wondering if Carnival cruises are good for solo travelers or for meeting up with other singles while you’re onboard.

Below we cover the most suitable options for choosing the best Carnival cruises for solo travelers and how appropriate Carnival cruises are depending on your age as well as some info on some possibly better alternatives.

Carnival Cruises for Singles

Are Carnival Cruises Good for Singles?

Although Carnival doesn’t specifically cater to solo travelers, a Carnival cruise can be a good option for younger singles because, as a general rule, they tend to attract younger adults, typically in their 20s and 30s.

With 2000 to 5000+ passengers onboard, there will always be other solo travellers to mix within this age range.

As well as families and couples, there will be singles who are traveling in groups with their friends as well as solo travelers.

Carnival is one of our top choice cruises for singles in their 20s , as well as being a good option for the early 30s singles age range if you still love the higher energy fun vibes. In short Carnival is one of the best fun cruises for young adult singles.

Best Carnival Cruises for Singles

If you are specifically wanting to sail on a Carnival cruise ship with other singles, the best cruises to book would be charted singles cruises that are taken on a Carnival cruise ship.

With these dedicated singles cruises, you sail as a singles group, but they don’t charter the whole ship, there’ll also be regular cruise passengers onboard.

The advantage of a chartered singles cruise is that as a group of singles, you will all mix together and take part in your own singles meet-ups and activities, which other regular cruisers on the ship won’t be able to take part in even if they are single.

Party on a Singles Cruise

One of the most well-known solo traveler tour operators is singlescruise.com.  

At the time of writing, they offered 17 singles cruises, of which four are available on Carnival Cruise ships:

  • April 23, 2023 from Miami, FL aboard the Carnival Celebration
  • April 29, 2023 from Los Angeles, CA aboard the Carnival Panorama
  • March 10, 2024 from Miami, FL aboard the Carnival Horizon
  • June 27 – July 4th, 2024 from Seattle aboard the Carnival Luminosa

Here you can find a current, up-to-date list of singlescruise’s on Carnival cruise ships here .

As you can see, there are only two Carnival singles cruises a year, so opportunities may be limited.

However, there’s always still the option of booking the regular Carnival cruises.

Share a Room on a Carnival Singles Cruise

Some chartered singles cruises offer the option of sharing a room with another same-sex guest.  This allows both guests to travel cheaper and also have someone to make friends with from the off, which for some people can make mixing with others more comfortable.

Do Carnival Cruises Have Single Occupancy Rooms?

Carnival cruise lines do not offer single cabins on any of the ships in the fleet.   All rooms are double occupancy. 

If a solo traveler books a double occupancy room, they pay the full rate for the room, which is the same price as if two people were booked.

The only small difference in price would be that only one person’s port fees and taxes would be charged.

Some people book for two passengers and pay both guests the port fees and taxes, and when the second person doesn’t turn up, the port fees and taxes are refunded.

We have put together a list of cruise lines with solo cabins if that is your preference.

Carnival Solo Rates

Occasionally there can be special offer solo rates available.   These aren’t commonly seen, so if you see them when booking, they are well worth taking advantage of.

Meeting in bars

Best time to Cruise on Carnival for Singles

If you’re single and looking to meet other singles on a Carnival Cruise the best time to cruise would be on Spring Break or take short 3-5 night cruises.

Carnival Cruise Singles Mixe rs

Look out for singles mixers meet ups on the first night of your cruise.

These will often be held in one of the bars and for specific groups, including:

How the meet-ups are named might also vary.  For example, there might be meet-up groups for “Solo travelers” or “Independent travelers”

Consider attending any that are singles orientated.

General “singles” meet ups attended by people who might be more interested in mingling with other singles

Solo or independent are more indicative of people traveling solo without particular intentions of being a single hooking up on a cruise .

However, if there is no specific singles options and just solo options, take them.

Carnival cruise is known to be LGBT-friendly and will arrange meet-ups for people to socialize and get to know each other.

Carnival Cruise for Singles Over 40

Carnival cruise is marketed as the “fun ship” and does tend to attract a younger demographic, mostly 20s to 30s.

There may be younger singles in their 20s, with perhaps more of those in their 30s traveling with couples or with families.

In general, the Carnival cruise isn’t considered the best cruise option for singles over 40.  There are other choices that might be more suited.

It might be worth you checking out our recommended best cruises for singles over 40.

Saying that, if Carnival is your cruise of choice, it would be best to avoid the spring breaks and instead travel in the fall when the average age of guests will likely be higher.

Another tip would be to take a longer vacation, 7 to 10 nights or more.

As an alternative option popular with over 40s are the best Royal Caribbean for singles cruises , some of which also have solo cabins

Carnival Cruise for Singles Over 50’s and Seniors

singles cruises in florida

The older you get, the less suited the Carnival cruise tends to be for most singles over 50.  The age demographic is going to be a lot younger and singles in the older age groups will be a lot less in number, so your chances of meeting someone will be much less.

Depending on your age, we have much better singles cruise options for:

  • Best Cruises for Singles Over 50s
  • Best Singles cruises for Over 60s seniors details of discounts for over 55s on Carnival

Is Carnival a Gay Cruise for Singles

Carnival is a good option for gay singles in their 20’s to 30’s. Carnival is known to be gay friendly holding a number of LGBT+ events.

They also have the Carnival Pride cruise ship!

Look for events and activities and meet-ups marketed towards the gay community if you want to meet other gay and lesbian singles.

Is Carnival Cruise for Adults Only?

Carnival cruise is available to guests of all ages.   Carnival is generally popular with families with young kids as well as teens and young adults, both singles, couples, and groups.

There are adult-only areas on every ship if you want to, including:

  • Alchemy Bar
  • BlueIguana Tequila Bar
  • Cloud 9 spa (over 18’s)

How Do You Get Laid On A Carnival Cruise

If you are single and looking to get laid on a cruise, you will want to read how to get laid on a cruise .

It’s no secret that libidos increase when away on a fun cruising vacation.   The best option would be chartered singles cruises, as almost everyone onboard will at least be single.

On regular Carnival cruises, three-day short getaways are typically popular will guests intent on having an all-round good time.

Spring break is an especially good time for people in their 20s and maybe 30s.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a single person go on a carnival cruise.

Adults over 21 years of age on the day of embarkation can go on a Carnival cruise alone.

Does Carnival Have A Single Supplement Fee?

Carnival cruises only have double occupancy rooms, so as a solo traveler, you will have to pay a 100% supplement fee in paying the full price for a cabin.

How Do You Meet Singles On A Carnival Cruise?

The best way to meet other singles on a Carnival cruise is to attend a Singles Mixer.   Here you’ll meet other singles who are also interested in mixing with other singles.

Of course, there will also be other singles onboard.  The more people you chat to the more singles you’ll potentially meet.

Join the sails Facebook group, and you can potentially meet other singles you even set sail and arrange to meet while onboard.

Does Tinder Work on a Carnival Cruise Ship?

Tinder is a location-based app that requires an internet connection.   

You can purchase a Carnival Wi-Fi package, although the quality and availability of the internet connection can vary depending on your location and where you are in the ship’s itinerary.

Another potential issue is your location may not show up accurately depending on the signal provided and instead report your location at the home port while you are at sea.

Bearing in mind there are only a few thousand people on the ship, looking to have as much fun as possible, the odds of someone else you might like look to date also being on tinder is going to be slim.

An alternative option might be to try out the Cruise Ship Mingle dating app which is a way to meet singles online before embarkation.

Can I Add a Guest to a Carnival Cruise Room?

All Carnival cruise staterooms are double occupancy, so if you booked as a solo traveler and have since met someone or have a friend who wants to join you, you should be able to get them added to the room.

The rates may be different, and they will also need to pay port fees and taxes.

What’s the Best Carnival Cruise Ship for Singles?

When it comes to which actual Carnival cruise ships in the fleet are best for singles, it really comes down to your own personal preferences.

The majority of cruise ships provide the “fun ship” experience.  However, choose the ships that suit your activity, dining and budget, and embarkation dates.

Discount cruises from Vacations To Go

Cruises for Singles and Solo Travelers

Vacations To Go hosts more singles and helps more solo cruisers than any other company. Whether you are looking for a fun-loving group of singles to travel with or merely trying to find the lowest possible price for a solo traveler, you've come to the right place.

Every year, we offer a wide selection of fabulous itineraries in different regions of the world, on outstanding cruise ships, and negotiate an extremely low rate for our single and solo travelers. We send trained hosts from our headquarters to organize get-togethers, cocktail parties, dinner seating and more, allowing individuals or friends to travel as part of a large and fun-loving group of singles.

Our hosted singles department is open Mon-Fri 8am to 7pm, Sat-Sun 9am to 6pm, U.S. Central Time. Check out our hosted singles cruises! If you are not looking for a hosted singles cruise but still want the lowest possible rate to cruise as a single, we can help with that, too.

Cruise lines generally charge a "single supplement" to passengers traveling solo. From the cruise line's perspective, what they are selling is cabin space, and if there are two or more people in a cabin, they split the cost of that space. People traveling alone pay for all the space by themselves.

Most cruise lines start with the per-person rate based on double occupancy and add 50-100% to the price for a single. That means that a cabin that sells for $1,000 per person based on double occupancy would be sold to a single for $1,500 to $2,000.

At Vacations To Go, we're sympathetic to our single customers' desires for a great price. We've scoured tens of thousands of departures to identify and secure the lowest single supplements for our customers, including great cabins that can be reserved by our single customers with no supplement at all. Check out our cruises with a low (or no) single supplement!

The Best Weekend Cruises From Florida

A few days beneath swaying palms can change your life.

By Robert Schrader | Published on March 18, 2024

There's only one thing better than a trip to the Sunshine State — and that's the wide variety of weekend cruises from Florida that allow you to mix a sailing with a little time in Florida itself. Whether you're a couple looking for a few days of palm-shaded romance or a family seeking a fun-filled trip during which the kids can blow off some steam, it's hard to resist the allure of setting sail from Florida's many ports to even more idyllic spots further out to sea. Best of all, cruising is a relatively all-inclusive option no matter which sailing you choose, with transportation to various ports, food, entertainment and your place to stay all part of the fare.

The options for weekend cruises from Florida are diverse, even if you only have a small number of days at your disposal. Florida has four ports — Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa and Orlando (Port Canaveral) — that you can choose from based on which is most convenient and which offers the best combination of ship and itinerary for you. Cruise to The Bahamas in just a few days or stretch your vacation to reach Mexico's storied Yucatán Peninsula or the beautiful shores of the eastern Caribbean. Read on for a variety of options to help determine your best choice.

Weekend Cruises Out Of Florida For Couples

Bahamas Cuisine Conch Fritters, Grand Bahama Island

From the sugary sands of The Bahamas to the steel drums of Jamaica and the pink flamingos of Aruba, a weekend cruise is one of the most ideal weekend vacation ideas because of the opportunities for couples to relax together. The best part? No matter your budget, there's an option perfect for you and your significant other.

Only have three nights to spare and a more limited budget? You can fly to Fort Lauderdale and cruise to The Bahamas — and still pack in a ton of excitement onboard and off. Starting in summer 2024, you can sail on the brand new Utopia of the Seas SM , the largest, most action-packed ship to sail weekend cruises from Florida , where you'll find that the onboard amenities (17 waterslides, eight pools and a soul food brunch among them) are only the beginning. At Royal Caribbean's private island resort experience, Perfect Day at CocoCay, the overwater cabanas offer peace and privacy for couples and are worth the splurge for those looking to carve out some space of their own. Settle yourself and your partner in your own paradise as you watch the sun set over the sea from your lounge chairs, and end the day by ordering dinner for two brought right to your table by the ocean.

If you've got seven nights to spare, you and your beloved can travel further afield to the western Caribbean. Cruise on Symphony of the Seas®  to San Juan, Puerto Rico where the only thing more romantic than snorkeling through the seawater hand in hand is the warmth in your partner's eyes as you clink margarita glasses. Back onboard, book a table for two at Jamie's Italian for Tuscan-inspired fare followed by an evening of cocktails and dancing.

With five nights, you can look at western Caribbean options on Independence of the Seas®  out of Miami. On one sailing, you can sign up for a shore excursion in George Town, Grand Cayman that will let you swim with the stingrays — while holding hands, of course. On yet another, you'll head to Falmouth, Jamaica where you can also snorkel — or just find a local hangout and feast on jerk chicken together to the beat of local reggae music.

Weekend Cruises Out Of Florida For Families

If you're a family with children looking for a weekend cruise from Florida, you'll also be spoiled with choices. For families with children of all ages who only have three nights, the best option is The Bahamas, where the three-night sailings minimize the amount of time you'll have to pull the kids out of school. What's more, the ease of relaxing at Perfect Day at CocoCay is unparalleled for beach-loving kids and parents. You can sail on Allure of the Seas® , Independence of the Seas® or Utopia of the Seas SM  from Orlando and maybe even add on a day at a theme park before heading home. Trying to save money? Allure of the Seas® and   Independence of the Seas® offer great bang for your buck.

If the flight routes work better for you, choose a sailing out of Miami on Allure of the Seas®, Freedom of the Seas® or Independence of the Seas® or out of Fort Lauderdale on  Oasis of the Seas®, Liberty of the Seas® , Rhapsody of the Seas® or Symphony of the Seas®. If you want to really indulge, Symphony of the Seas®  is home to The Ultimate Family Suite, a decadent two-story stateroom that has a hot tub on the balcony and a slide between the two floors.

Searching for long weekend vacation ideas for travel with small kids who aren't in school yet or can easily miss a day or two? You've got plenty of choices if you're sailing from Florida. The five-night western Caribbean cruise on offer from Miami on Oasis of the Seas®  is a good bet for families seeking long stretches of sand and palm trees. This sailing calls on the beaches of Falmouth, Jamaica (home to river tubing and hikes to waterfalls as well as sun-kissed shores) and Labadee (a Royal Caribbean private destination, where the beaches are perfect for young sun worshipers to build their first sandcastles). Onboard, families can hit the waterslides together — then share stories of their day over St. Louis-style spare ribs at Portside BBQ SM  or carnitas tacos at El Loco Fresh ® .

If you're traveling with older kids who have time off for holidays or can afford to be out of school for a few days, you should consider a four- or five-night cruise, potentially from Orlando on Voyager of the Seas® . Choose a sailing to the eastern Caribbean on this ship, and older kids can take advantage of hiking and horseback riding in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Alternatively, on a cruise from Tampa on Serenade of the Seas®  to the western Caribbean, Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula — with its impressive Maya ruins — might make history lovers out of even the most indifferent teens.

If you're sailing with high school or college students who are academically focused, you'll be pleased to learn that all Royal Caribbean cruise ships offer fast Wi-Fi packages, which means they can access assignments, take remote tests and even participate in class via Zoom if necessary. This allows you to indulge in one of the longer weekend cruises from Florida without your child falling behind in school.

One of the best parts about being a solo traveler is flexibility. For example, if search for "last-minute vacation deals this weekend," chances are good that you'll be able to take advantage of any great rates that fit your personal schedule, without having to factor other people in. Living in the era of remote work (and fast onboard Wi-Fi) increases your freedom: You can often stretch a "weekend" to four or even five days, unlocking a larger number of sailing options, whether you cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa or Orlando. For travelers who like to meet new people, there's always that option on a cruise. One tip to remember: Whatever ship you choose, ask the maître d' in the main dining room on the first day to seat you with other solo travelers to help you make connections straightaway.

With that in mind, why not go the more indulgent route and treat yourself to a five-night sailing? Serenade of the Seas®  sails from Tampa to Cozumel and Costa Maya, both of which are in Mexico.

On six-night sailings on Adventure of the Seas®  out of Orlando, you can visit Puerto Plata, which you can think of as your gateway to the merengue, beans and rice and golden strands of sand in the Dominican Republic.

And, on five-night western Caribbean cruises out of Tampa on Radiance of the Seas® , Mexico will be a highlight. While some solo travelers stay in Cozumel — snorkeling, scuba diving or seeking out tacos and piña coladas — others head farther afield to see the awe-inspiring ruins of Chichén Itzá or the decadently relaxing eco-chic spas of Tulum, for example. Onboard, you can unwind after dinner in the English-style pub or the Champagne bar, depending on your preference. Whatever you choose to do, it's a joy to base the decision entirely on your own interests when you set sail as a solo traveler.

What Are Singles Cruises for Seniors?

If you’re a senior who enjoys solo travel and meeting new people, you might want to book a singles cruise. These adventures can be a great way for older adults to enjoy traveling alone at surprisingly affordable prices. Beyond singles cruises, you can also look into general cruise lines that cater to the older set.

Pro Tip: To learn more about my favorite cruises, read my guide to the best cruises for seniors .

The Advantages of Singles Cruises for Seniors

Singles cruises for seniors offer many benefits, such as discounted room prices, wine tasting, and onboard entertainment –– not to mention plenty of opportunities to meet other singles.

Less planning

Since most singles cruises are all-inclusive, you don’t have to worry about last-minute itinerary planning. Most singles cruises provide a day-by-day itinerary with information on daily activities, events, and excursions. For those who want an adventurous time without having to plan, a cruise is a great option. Personally, planning travel makes me anxious, so I love handing the process over to the professionals.

Meeting new people

A singles cruise is designed to cater to people of all ages who are looking to meet new people. If you’re recently divorced or looking for a new relationship, a singles cruise offers an opportunity to meet others in a similar position. These cruises will often have programs like speed dating and dances to help facilitate interactions. Plus, some cruises cater to singles specifically, giving you a discount or “single supplement.”

Courses and events

Singles cruises offer plenty of great activities, such as wine tastings, chef-prepared meals, dancing, pool parties, concerts, and group exercises. All of this helps make it easier to meet new people.

  • Viking Ocean Cruises : Best Overall Value
  • Singles Travel International : Made for Singles
  • Silversea : Luxurious and All-Inclusive
  • Tauck World Discovery : Great Expeditions
  • Holland America Line : 35-Day Trips
  • Solos Holidays : Social Activities

1. Viking Ocean Cruises - Best Overall Value

What we like most:.

  • Wide range of trips
  • Luxurious suites
  • Excellent customer service
  • Risk-free guarantee

Cost: $799+ per person

Viking offers river, ocean, and expedition voyages on all seven continents. I could choose from a variety of cruise destinations, including Scandinavia, Northern Europe, Asia, and Australia. As the world’s leading small-ship cruise line, Viking Ocean Cruises has a fleet of new, state-of-the-art ocean ships, ranging from Viking Star to Viking Saturn. Each ocean ship can carry up to 930 adult guests for an intimate experience and longer overnight stays at ports. With so many adults on a boat, it was easy for me to meet people, especially at meal times.

To book a cruise, I simply visited the Viking website and selected the region, departure date, and duration of my stay. If you’re looking to travel to Scandinavia and Northern Europe for a duration of 12 days, you can choose your sail date and include a promo code to get the best deals. You can also select the number of guests and specify the type of stateroom or suite you would like to book.

Viking Ocean Cruises offers a risk-free guarantee for guests, allowing you to change your cruise date up to 14 days before your departure. Viking will also waive any change fees. Other features of this cruise include spacious veranda staterooms and suites. In addition to a variety of destinations, Viking Ocean Cruises offers special savings on both airfare and cruise costs.

With over 28 years in business, Singles Travel International offers great savings on single supplements, free membership, and fun singles cruise meet-and-greets and cocktail hours. Other benefits include an option to find a travel companion and ongoing promotions and discounts.  For example, when I was booking my trip, I could’ve saved thousands by getting a premium membership. This is a good option if you think you want to take cruises more regularly.

Plus, when I signed up for a free membership, I got a $50 discount on my first vacation and free access to its online community for senior singles over the age of 50.

3. Silversea - Luxurious and All-Inclusive

  • Made specifically for seniors
  • Generous all-inclusive options
  • Onboard spas and fitness centers
  • Gourmet dining

With Silversea, you can travel and explore new destinations like the Galapagos Islands, Asia, and Alaska –– all while enjoying the views from your luxury oceanview suite.

Booking as a solo traveler, I received a 25 percent single supplement on some voyages, which means a 25 percent discount. Not every cruise line offers this discount, as each room can support two people, typically.

You can choose from all-inclusive cruises or special Silversea Expeditions luxury cruises if you’re looking to travel to remote regions. Some of the benefits of choosing Silversea include complimentary beverages, gourmet dining, shore excursions, and educational lectures on the places you’re visiting. As someone who loves to learn, I found this trip both educational and fun, not to mention delicious.

With Silversea’s all-inclusive offerings, you’ll also enjoy personalized services with butler service for all its suites. Additionally, you’ll have access to a luxurious spa and fitness center, along with a beauty salon and acupuncture services for older adults with arthritis or back pain. It was lovely to have a spa to come home to after a long day exploring!

4. Tauck World Discovery - Great Expeditions

Tauck World Discovery

  • Extensive guided land tours
  • River and ocean cruises
  • Fine dining
  • Panoramic sun decks

Cost: $3,990+ per person

Looking for a solo getaway? Tauck World Discovery offers solo cruise adventures for older adults. Consider booking a solo trip on one of its European River Cruises, with prices starting at $4,390 per person for eight- to 25-day tours. In addition to river and small-ship cruises, Tauck offers guided land tours in destinations like Africa, Canada, Israel and Jordan, and Latin America.

We recommend solo travelers book one of the European River Cruises. For example, I was interested in the longest, Grand European Cruise, a 25-day cruise that hits Amsterdam, Budapest, Vienna, Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Koln. It starts at $13,990. I like this cruise because it will allow me to see nine European countries and stay three nights in Bucharest. Altogether, I am going to see these countries:

  • Netherlands

Other features and benefits of booking a cruise through Tauck is that you’ll enjoy unlimited complimentary beverages, fine dining, and amenities such as a fitness center, spa, and sun deck featuring panoramic views of the river. For the European River Cruises, some of the destinations include the Danube, Douro, and Rhone rivers.

5. Holland America Line - 35-Day Trips

Holland America Line

  • Trips up to 133 days long
  • Helpful smartphone app
  • Onboard casinos
  • Wine tastings

Cost: $499+ per person

With 149 years in business, Holland America Line offers 19 cruise destinations with over 473 ports. If you’re looking for an affordable cruise option, I recommend traveling with Holland America Line. Its Worry-Free Promise program gives guests the chance to change their cruise plans or cancel for any reason up to 30 days before departure if you or a travel party tests positive for COVID-19.

Holland America Line has a fleet of 11 classic ships with destinations and ports in Alaska, Europe, the Panama Canal, Asia, and more. You can choose from seven- to 133-day cruise trips, depending on your destination and travel needs. The longest cruise goes from pole to pole, leaving and departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. If you’re a single senior, you’ll love the amenities the cruise ship offers, such as classical cruise ship music, theatrical shows, concerts, and other live entertainment.

Some of the additional features of this cruise line include spacious suites and staterooms, along with unique dining options and a casino. You can also use its free mobile-friendly app to personalize your cruise experience and browse your planned activities for the day. Depending on the cruise ship you choose, you can also participate in wine tastings and cooking demonstrations.

Did You Know: Before you head for the sea, be sure to have your travel insurance in order.

6. Solos Holidays - Social Activities

Solos Holidays

  • Caters to solo travelers
  • Great onboard entertainment
  • Spacious rooms
  • Ample social activities

Cost: $261+ per person

Solos Holidays caters to solo travelers who enjoy going to exciting destinations while meeting new people. Based in London, this company focuses on “singles holidays” and offers a wide selection of destinations across the globe. Some of the cruise destinations include Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa.

I recommend going on A Taste of the Fjords. I departed from London and spent seven nights in Norway (prices start at $1,420 per person). On the ship, dining and entertainment options were plentiful, and the destinations — Bergen, Flam, and Stavanger —  were beautiful and picturesque. Plus, as a single, it was nice being with a group of eight and a tour leader, as I didn’t feel lonely. This is one of the more affordable cruise options, which is always appreciated.

7. Cunard - Great Onboard Entertainment

Cunard

  • Low starting prices
  • Orchestra performances
  • Onboard libraries and gyms
  • Planetarium shows

Cost: $699+ per person

Cunard provides luxury cruise services across the globe. In fact, in the past, it has had esteemed guests like Elizabeth Taylor and Charlie Chaplain onboard its ships. Depending on the type of vacation and travel experience you’re looking for, you can anticipate spending around $699 per person for an English cruise to up to $2,199 per person for a Caribbean cruise. This is incredibly affordable, as cruises can cost tens of thousands of dollars, which is not in my budget. Here are the prices I saw when I looked in October 2023:

When you book a cruise with Cunard, you’ll enjoy amenities such as afternoon tea, live orchestra performances, and events moderated by prolific speakers. In addition to spacious open decks and Broadway-style shows, seniors will enjoy a packed itinerary of events and activities.

Other features include twice-daily turndown services, concierge services, personal butlers, great dining options, and complimentary room service. Guests can also enjoy group dance classes, planetarium shows, and access to the library and gym facilities.

We recommend choosing one of its seven-day transatlantic cruises onboard its Queen Mary 2. The best part is you’ll have access to live performances from the Royal Shakespeare Company, along with various accommodations to make your stay enjoyable. Cruises start at $849 per person for a Christmas 2023 voyage.

8. Riviera River Cruises - Great for Solo Travelers

Riviera River Cruises

  • Luxurious amenities
  • Niche destinations
  • Flexible trips

Cost: $899+ per month

Riviera River Cruises offers several river cruises in Europe and other destinations around the world. Solo travelers can expect to pay around $899 to $5,479 for longer-duration trips.

If you enjoy solo traveling without sharing a room, then we’d recommend the Rhine, Strasbourg & Heidelberg River Cruise for Solo Travelers. This eight-day cruise starts at $2,449 per person and features eight guided tours, a live classical quartet recital, daily meals, and five-star services. For this particular cruise, you’ll embark in Cologne and visit destinations like the Rhine Gorge and the historic Mainz port. Plus, there are departures aimed at solo travelers specifically, which start at $2,749 per person. Unfortunately, there’s no single supplement, but there are also no additional fees; I paid the listed price, which was a welcome departure from other cruise lines and their many hidden fees.

When you choose Riviera River Cruises, you’ll enjoy amenities and features like daily morning and afternoon tea and coffee, along with full daily meals, complimentary Wi-Fi, and the option to extend your cruise. Other benefits include access to an expert cruise director and concierge services to help make for an enjoyable stay.

Pro Tip: To start planning your next trip, be sure to check out my rundown of the best travel destinations for seniors .

9. Regent Seven Seas Cruises - Discounts Available

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

  • Over 450 ports
  • Great discounts
  • Spacious accommodations
  • Tours up to 21 days in length

Cost: $6,074+ per person

Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers all-inclusive luxury travel around the world, with over 450 ports of call. Each ship can carry up to 750 guests, with destinations in Africa, Arabia, Alaska, Asia, and the Mediterranean. The average price with the single supplement ranges from $6,074 per person from Cape Town to Rio De Janeiro to as high as $12,562 for an 18-day cruise from Sydney to Singapore.

Not every cruise line offers discounted prices for singles, so although these prices are on the higher side, they’re a good option for singles who want a more luxurious experience and have the funds for it.

Some of the benefits of choosing a cruise from Regent Seven Seas Cruises include all-inclusive fares, free open bars, and unlimited beverages, along with free access to specialty restaurants. You’ll also receive free unlimited internet and up to a 50 percent discount for a reduced single supplement for select suite categories.

Bottom Line

If you’re single and want to meet new people, a cruise can be a great way to step out of your comfort zone. Many cruises cater to solo travelers and single seniors, providing ample opportunities to participate in mixers, galas, and other activities aboard a ship. Many cruise lines will often offer great discounts for those who book one-passenger trips, so be on the lookout for those deals throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. There are many singles cruises for seniors to book throughout the year.

Cruise lines that don’t allow kids include Viking Cruises, Virgin Voyages, and P&O Cruises.

ECU Kid Single-Handedly Destroys Group Of Frat Bros While Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” Hilariously Plays In The Background

singles cruises in florida

So much for strength in numbers.

You’ve likely seen your fair share of fight videos, but trust me, you’ve never seen one play out like this one does. This might be the first one versus seven matchup in the history of the world where the one person came out victorious. It’s truly a sight to see, and something you only normally get to watch happen on the big screen (see John Wick, Die Hard, etc. ).

This time though, what should have been a lopsided fight was captured on the small screen, as in the one that fits in your pocket. When anything crazy happens nowadays, people immediately grab for their phone to film it. That’s not always a good thing, though it did provide us with this unreal footage this time around.

A fight broke out at what looks to be a student apartment building’s pool area near the campus of East Carolina University. One man ended up confronting at least seven others, and wildly, it was the group of seven that were in bad shape afterwards. If I’m one of the seven people that challenged this one man and ended up losing, I would never show my face at that pool again. I’m changing schools, I’m getting new friends. Both because it was an incredibly embarrassing loss and my face is probably permanently caved in after battling against this punching machine of a man.

We’re not sure how the fight came to be, but you can hear whoever that’s filming the violent interaction say something along the lines of “he wouldn’t shake his hand.” And right before the first dude gets cold cocked in the jaw, he appears seems to utter a word that seemingly led to the punch. Do your own lip-reading…

Roll the tape:

Clutching a 1 v 7 is insane Sign this man @ufc pic.twitter.com/2aNOaF38Dq — #12 Barstool ECU (@barstoolecu) April 3, 2024

There’s really just a whole lot going on this clip, so much so that I decided to lay out the highlights below:

-Right from the get go, notice the kid who looks like he’s about 15 years old just hit the vape and walk away shaking his head… he knew.

-The dude who eats the first punch just completely disappears… insert Homer Simpson bushes meme.

-The seven guys fight like villains in an action movie, only attacking one at a time instead of going all at once, just kind of slapping at the air. You think these movies like  John Wick  are a little over the top until you see it play out in real life.

-A few of the friends just stand there… do absolutely nothing. Maybe break it up if you don’t want to participate? Maybe stop your 5 idiots friends from getting destroyed.

-The guy in the blue shorts gets knocked out not once, but TWICE , and they are both brutal take downs. Knees buckle, dude folds like a cheap lawn chair.

-Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” is playing in the background is just too perfect since this guy was cruising through these frat dudes like nothing.

It’s truly a remarkable video, and one that you’ll likely watch multiple times just so you can wrap your head around what happened. The post’s caption calls for a deal with the UFC, and I think they’re on to something with that pitch.

And as always, we had to RUN to the comments:
