Creator's Key Takeaways

Once you come to the solos once, you're never alone for the rest of the cruise.

It's not a pickup joint. I know we might be the love boat, and I know relationships happen. They really do.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Join the solo meetup on the first or second night of your cruise.

✓If you are an experienced cruiser, try to help or inspire newer solo travelers.

Loneliness and social awkwardness — Attend the solo meetup to find like-minded people and realize you aren't actually alone.

Safety of traveling alone — Cruising is one of the safest ways to travel solo, especially for women.

The 'singles' stigma — Think of it as 'solos and adventurers' rather than a singles group; it's about making connections, not just picking people up.

Is solo cruising actually lonely — or is that just the fear talking? I sat down with a Princess Cruises port lecturer to find out what really happens the moment you walk into a solo meetup for the first time. If you've ever wondered about traveling alone on a cruise, joining a cruise ship solos group, or whether it's safe (or awkward) to cruise by yourself, this conversation covers all of it — straight from someone who hosts these meetups every single sailing.
