Creator's Key Takeaways

Solo cruising might just be one of the most inspiring ways in which to see the world.

Booking a cruise alone can also stir up a few what if type jitters.

Dining alone isn't meant to be lonely. I think it's freedom with a side of creme brulee.

Solo cruising gives you, I think, that rare chance to recharge and reflect without distraction.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Sit at the bar or join a trivia game to meet people.
Ask to share a table at dinner if you want social interaction.
Choose a midship stateroom near public areas for security.
Use Airbnb experiences for intimate, small-group shore excursions.

Feeling out of place among couples and familiesCruise ships are full of all types of travelers; solo guests are growing. Use meetups, sit at bars, or ask for solo tables.
Safety and security when aloneBe aware, don't share cabin number, use safe, trust gut. Choose midship stateroom near public areas and inform friends/family.
Dining alone awkwardlyChoose when and where to eat; opt for bar seating, chef's table, or group dining. Nobody pays attention at buffets or poolside.
Missing out on shore excursionsTry smaller group tours or independent exploration with local guides. Use Airbnb experiences for intimate excursions.
