Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œSwitzerland is like something out of a story book or a fairy tale. It does not look real. I cannot believe that it exists the way it does.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œThat dinner was some of the best. That was like the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. They modified it a little bit for me.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œIt is beautiful. This is perfection.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œI am so impressed with just how easy it is to navigate and get around, especially as a solo traveler. This just makes it one of the best places that I've visited so far”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œThe scenery is just stunning, and it is. It was snowing on the way over. So beautiful.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo
The Watch-outs

β€œI'm super bummed. Great Syrup Key was a lot of people's most anticipated port on this cruise.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œI did not feel as comfortable as a solo traveler last night going out um by myself for like dinner and drinks. I did not feel very welcome.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œthe biggest downside to this cabin was the fact that it was partially obstructed by the Lifeboat that you see here outside the window”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œThe only downside with this cruise line is you're not going to get a lot of varied itineraries.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertMer Cruises Solo

β€œI'm starting to feel fatigued with Norwegian and I want to branch out and I want to try their cruise lines.”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Mer Cruises Solo.

  1. Book first class Swiss rail or Swiss travel pass for a better experience.

  2. Be aware that some Swiss restaurants require a two-person minimum for fondue, which can be difficult for solo travelers.

  3. Bring fleece-lined leggings, a puffer jacket, a hat, and waterproof boots/hiking boots for Swiss winters.

  4. The Swiss Travel Pass is a very good purchase for boat rides, museum entry, and trains.

  5. Scan the QR code on your key card to access the daily schedule on your phone since there is no dedicated app.

  6. Be careful to pay attention to ship time versus local time as the ship does not automatically change the time to align with port time.

  7. Bring cash for excursions and tips.

  8. Go to Charleston quickly before cruise ships stop visiting.
