Solo cruises for seniors
The short answer
Most cruise fares assume two people per cabin, so one person often pays close to double — the single supplement. Solo cabins get around it. Norwegian, Celebrity, Holland America, Cunard, Virgin and Oceania all offer cabins for one; some also host gatherings for solo guests.Free guide2 min readUpdated September 2026

Ways to meet people on board
- Look in the daily program for a solo travelers' meet-up — many ships hold one early in the cruise.
- Choose shared tables at dinner instead of a table for one.
- Join trivia, dance classes, lectures or a group shore tour.
