Will this ship suit a person travelling alone?

Cabins, atmosphere, activities and the amount of company you can choose.

Not every ship suits a solo traveller equally. A few practical things are worth checking before you book.

Cabins

Some ships have cabins designed for one person; others only offer standard cabins with a single supplement. Where the cruise data confirms a dedicated solo cabin, the listings on this site say so.

Atmosphere and company

Ships differ in how easy they make it to meet people. Some run solo-traveller gatherings or have dedicated lounges; on others you choose your own level of company. Travellers’ comments can be very revealing about particular ships and cruise lines.

Activities

Consider what you will actually do on sea days and in port. A ship that matches your interests matters more when you are planning your own time.
