Cruising solo, but not alone

We've got a modern spin on taking a singles cruise.

It's so simple, and easy to join. Just pick your cruise group, book with us, and we join you with the group. There's an instant group of dinner buddies and ship meet ups with our other Cruise Circle for Solo members while at sea.

Whether you’re a seasoned independent traveller, you’ve always wanted to try going alone, or you just can't find a travel partner, there’s a lot to love about solo cruises.

Love the idea of cruising, but not the idea of cruising alone?

With our exclusive Cruise Circle for Solos ® you:

*  won't have to rely on anyone else   
* can still enjoy your ‘me’ time   
* can set your own pace

And most of all, you can do whatever you want — whenever you want! But for all the great things about cruising solo… there are some downfalls that seem unavoidable. Now, this is where we step in! And this is where you can see the simple new take on a singles cruise – why didn’t someone think of this sooner?

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

If so, you’re not alone. And what's more, until now, your options for cruising solo and finding cruise buddies have been pretty limited.  But we live for the solo travel experience. And in 2011 we decided to reinvent singles cruises, with our groups for solos.

And who else wants to avoid feeling like this?  "I hate having to answer everyone's questions about why I'm travelling alone."

The ‘Not-So-Fine’ Print

We truly believe this is going to be an AWESOME opportunity for singles cruising. But before you rush to book, there are a few things we do want you to know: 

• Mos are unescorted cruises! We’ll provide the bookings, the meal reservations, the bar times, and the friends — but the rest is up to you. Yes, we know this freedom is exactly why you want to do this. But we’ve got to be clear!
  
  
• Circle Join Fee - a group joining fee, the 'Circle Join Fee' applies to our cruise groups and is advised with quotes.
  
  
• We’re keeping it friendly. We know some people hear ‘singles cruising’ and think ‘dating’… but that’s not what we’re about. If you share, you’ll be partnered with a same-gender roommate, for obvious reasons. That’s not to say you won’t meet your match on board… but if that’s your main goal, Cruise Circle for Solos probably isn’t the right place to find it!
  
  
• Specialty restaurants. For cruise groups with Royal Caribbean specialty restaurants are not included. You’re always free to choose to book yourself — or even go with others you meet in the group!
  
  
• No inside rooms for room sharers. As experienced cruisers know, if you’re in an inside cabin, there’s two light settings: on, and pitch dark! And even if you and your roommate are the best of friends, a night owl and a sleepyhead might not get along well at 5am when the light suddenly starts blazing overhead… so to keep the peace, we keep shared rooms to outside cabins.
  
  
• Help your roommate sleep! We want to make sure that when you cruise, you get a great night’s sleep — so when you book, we ask for honesty about your sleep habits: snoring, CPAP machines for sleep apnoea, insomnia, or other things that might disturb a roommate. If everyone’s honest, we can make sure everyone gets a good night’s sleep!
