If you are a solo or single traveller looking to cruise but you don’t want to have to fork our double for a double stateroom, take a look at our luxury cruise line partners. They offer luxury solo cabins on select ships!  

However, when looking for solo cabins, be aware of the exclusivity and rarity as not all cruise lines offer them. With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of cruise lines with single occupancy staterooms.

Cunard solo cruise suites

Cunard’s Single Ocean View Staterooms radiate comfort and prioritise, making their luxury cabins feel like a home away from home. Single suites come alongside a complimentary bottle of champagne, Penhaligon luxury toiletries and 24-hour room service. If you’re staying aboard the Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth, you'll enjoy access to your own spacious single staterooms with a sense of opulence and luxury flourishing. 

Cunard also offers you the opportunity to book a Britannia Double Stateroom for a variable single supplement. That is, if you prefer a more spacious cabin and desire larger storage room. 

Holland America solo cruise suites

If you are a solo traveller and want to avoid paying a solo supplement, take a look at ships that offer solo suites on Holland America. Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam are the specific ships that prioritise ensuring every guest has a comfortable stay ,no matter whether they’re cruising alone or together. As such, these ships offer a private space for each individual traveller.

Actually, Holland America stands out for solo travellers, as they have created a scheme to help solo cruisers meet: the Single Partners Programme. Activities such as fitness classes, themed competitions and cooking demonstrations create a social environment and a lively atmosphere on board, allowing solo travellers to form bonds and memories that can last a lifetime.

But be warned! Holland America solo cabins require booking far in advance due to their restricted availability and popularity!

Oceania Cruises solo cruise suites

Oceania Cruises offer a solo traveller experience and solo travellers have a wide range of solo cabins to choose from in their signature small-ship luxury. Aboard Vista, there are Level Solo Veranda Staterooms available, offering a spacious and luxury space for single cruisers, whilst still having access to the Concierge Lounge to mix and mingle with fellow sailors.

Every Solo Stateroom has all the same amenities a single cruise guest would have access to. Oceania Cruises guests can enjoy the same sumptuous service whether they’re in a pair or on their own.

Silversea solo cruise suites

Silversea wants to encourage solo travellers and welcome them on board their range of intimate ships; single supplements start at only 25% on select voyages.

All inclusive fares are standard, meaning solo and single guests will have access to a personal butler service and breathtaking ocean views. There are multiple fine dining options on board, with the option to dine with fellow cruisers should you wish to. Of course, there is a wide selection of sophisticated entertainment and enrichment in the daytime and evening for all to enjoy and create lasting memories.

River cruising solo cabins

River cruising allows you to visit top destinations without the hustle and bustle, as the ships are often smaller, allowing solo travellers to network with others whilst still having the opportunity to have a relaxed trip.

On board most of the Emerald river Cruises Star-Ships, there are single occupancy staterooms available. Select star-ships that go through the river Danube, Rhine and Rhone, come with comfortable and tastefully appointed cabins that look out on beautiful views worldwide, creating the perfect space for solo travellers. Again, they sell out quickly.

Solo supplement rates are available for those not lucky enough to secure a single cabin.

Riverside Luxury Cruises solo cruise cabins

Certain cruise lines that Panache Cruises partners with do not offer solo cabins, but instead offer a double cabin with no solo supplements. This means solo cruisers only have to pay for solo occupancy, yet can enjoy the luxury of a double cabin.

For example, on board the Riverside luxury cruises, Harmony and Melody suites are double suites measuring at 220 square feet, creating the perfect spacious suites for solo travellers. The Riverside Harmony suite is on board the Mozart ship, and the Riverside Melody suite is onboard the Ravel and Debussy ships.

Celebrity solo suites

Celebrity Edge Single Staterooms offer all the same amenities and services as a double stateroom, including the exclusive  eXhale® bedding and cashmere mattress. Solo cruisers are not missing out! Alongside that, solo cruisers also have access to premium, custom-blended bath products and 100% cotton plush bath towels and robes, allowing you to immerse yourself in luxury and replenish the body and the mind in the space of your very own private space.

Similarly, Celebrity Silhouette ships offer four inside single staterooms which have been perfectly designed and proportioned to provide you with luxury and maximum comfort. This all comes in company with the luxury amenities and services offered with double staterooms. For those who love to travel and explore the world via the water, Celebrity offers the ideal modern cabin for you: The Edge Single Infinite Veranda. You’ll find yourself right to the water’s edge, offering open access to the sea at the touch of a button.
