Creator's Key Takeaways

I have taken 21 solo cruises over the last 2 years.

Cruising alone as a woman can feel intimidating at first, but it can also be one of the most relaxing and empowering ways to travel.

I go on casino comp. So that way I get a regular cabin um as a solo person and I don't pay any more than if I had somebody else with me.

I always recommend to do that at the same time you book your cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early dining at the same time you book your cruise to ensure assigned seating.
Look for cruise lines that offer solo cabins or reduced single supplements to avoid paying double the rate.
Join Facebook groups for your specific sailing to meet other solo cruisers and find events.
Book ship-sponsored excursions in ports to guarantee timely return to the ship.
Share your full itinerary and location with someone back home before you leave.
Shop around for travel insurance rather than automatically buying the ship's insurance.

YouTube Video Description

Thinking about taking a solo cruise? In this video I share my best solo female cruise tips after completing 21 solo cruises across multiple cruise lines, with 7 more already booked. Cruising alone as a woman can feel intimidating at first, but it can also be one of the most relaxing and empowering ways to travel. After many solo sailings, I’ve learned what works best for meeting people, staying safe, and making the most of the experience. In this video I share tips for every part of a solo cruise including: • How to meet other solo cruisers onboard • Using Facebook groups before your cruise to connect with other passengers • Solo cruiser meetups and onboard social events • Dining options for solo travelers • Excursion tips when traveling alone • Travel insurance considerations • Personal safety tips for cruising solo I also share a recap sheet of all 21 solo cruises I’ve taken, including the cruise lines and number of nights at sea. I rate each line from 1-10 based on my experience as a Solo cruiser. One of the best parts of solo cruising is that it becomes true “me time.” You can be as social as you want or simply relax and enjoy your own pace while exploring the ship, dining, or watching the ocean go by. Solo cruising allows you to prioritize yourself and create the exact vacation experience you want.
