Great singles cruises to book and meet fascinating people

Start humming the theme song to "The Love Boat" because we're going to do a deep dive into how to find the perfect singles cruises to book if you want to meet people.

Is it possible to meet your forever match on a cruise ship? Absolutely.

An editor I once knew found her true love on an expedition-style cruise. They married within months of returning home and now have two children. Whether it was the thrill of the expedition, the forced digital detox of a remote destination or the close quarters of a small ship, their relationship clearly blossomed on board.

Cruise ships offer a unique way to meet new and often fascinating people, whether you're looking for romance or simply want to enjoy the company of other people vacationing the same way you do.

There are single cruisers on almost every ship. Some sail solo; others are in friend or family groups. Dining arrangements, onboard activities and port tours make meeting like-minded people easy. Also, it's socially acceptable to strike up conversations with others throughout the ship.

Some cruise lines make it even easier for singles to find each other with solo cabins clustered together and scheduled events for singles.

If you'd like to find companionship at sea, here are our top tips for making the most of a singles cruise.

Tips for making the most of a singles cruise

As on dry land, activities are often the best way to meet people on a cruise. If you love to dance, go where the music is. If water sports are your thing, book a tropical cruise with a schedule of shore excursions that involve snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving and similar activities. Choose tours focused on wildlife watching, historical sites or food and beverage to meet shipmates who enjoy the same.

You'll often find other singles within shore excursion tour groups . However, you can increase your odds by joining social media groups specific to your cruise dates where you can connect pre-cruise with anyone cruising single.

In fact, there are dozens of social media groups dedicated to singles who love to cruise. Some groups focus on specific cruise lines, while others are broader in scope. Either way, they provide an easy opportunity to start a conversation with other singles before you ever set foot on the ship.

Your vessel's daily activity schedule is also a good place to find other singles. Check on the cruise line's app , on the interactive TV in your cabin or in the printed version (if there is one) for planned gatherings of singles, which are often pre-dinner meetups at bars.

A theme cruise is another way to meet people with similar interests. Sailings focus on country music, popular TV shows, wine tasting, crafting and other hobbies and interests. Not only will you likely find plenty of singles ready to mingle, but it might also be easier to strike up a conversation, knowing you have at least one thing in common.

Chartered singles cruises take the work out of finding other singles because you'll travel together in a group, often with a host to organize everyone. On larger ships, the charter will connect you with other group members through planned onboard meals, gatherings and activities. On smaller vessels, the tour company might charter the entire ship, so every passenger is single.

One word of caution here: It's easy to think that meeting someone on a cruise ship takes all the inherent danger out of hanging out with strangers. You're in a confined space surrounded by lots of other people. Sounds safe, right?

While cruising is, overall, incredibly safe, crime on board can happen. Like any form of travel, it's best not to let your guard down, especially if you go off alone with someone you've just met.

Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when seeking other singles on cruise ships is to start with an appropriate cruise line for your age and lifestyle . Here are some great singles cruises for various age groups to help you get started.

Best cruises for singles over 20

For young singles, cruising can sometimes feel like an expensive way to meet people. To avoid the high cost of single supplements charged to solo travelers in standard cabins meant for at least two people, single cruisers can travel with friends and share a room. (Many cabins can sleep up to four.) Also, you might feel more confident heading to the ship's bars or nightclubs in a group.

Try short three- to five-night cruises on low-cost mainstream lines like Carnival , Norwegian Cruise Line or Royal Caribbean , where you'll find more young adults and more of a party scene . Singles on a budget can also save money cruising on older, smaller ships across the mainstream fleets, which typically have lower cruise fares.

Margaritaville at Sea is another good choice for quick and affordable two-night trips to the Bahamas, though you'll need to find love quickly on such a short cruise.

Twentysomethings who have a larger travel budget and wish to cruise on their own can look for cruise lines with solo cabins. These rooms for one are in limited supply, so they can be priced at a premium and sell out quickly.

Our top pick for this age group would be a short Carnival cruise from almost any U.S. departure port.

The price is right, there's plenty of onboard fun designed for this age group (great live bands, nightly karaoke, poolside games, trivia and deck parties). It's also a good way to get your feet wet when it comes to cruising as a young single. Carnival ships have many cabins that can sleep several of your besties if you choose not to go alone.

Best cruises for singles over 30

Cruising singles in their 30s have slightly different vacation needs from their younger peers. Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and Carnival are all still great choices for this age group, whether you're traveling on your own or with a group of friends.

Another cruise line that works well for young singles is Virgin Voyages , which is child-free and has rooms and activities designed for singles. Its cheeky, nontraditional vibe is a plus for thirtysomethings.

Use the tattoo you got at the onboard tattoo studio as a conversation starter, make friends at an '80s-themed workout class, or chat up your neighbor at an after-hours cabaret or at a communal table in one of the line's many complimentary restaurants.

Single parents who vacation with their youngsters might want to add Disney Cruise Line to the list. The kids can enjoy amazing supervised programming in the expansive kids club while mom or dad enjoys adult pleasures like wine tastings, fine dining and dancing — all of which could lead to meetups with other single parents on board.

A warm-climate Royal Caribbean cruise with your best buds can be an ideal option for the over-30 set. We recommend one of the line's newest and biggest ships so you have plenty of options for food, entertainment and hangouts to try. From slides and water attractions that get your heart racing to dance clubs open until the wee hours of the night, these ships have plenty to offer young singles and plenty of places to meet new friends.

Best cruises for singles over 40

Singles in their 40s generally are ready for a little less party and a little more romance on a singles cruise. This age group won't be out of place among festive singles on board Virgin Voyages or Carnival, but Celebrity Cruises is another cruise line to consider.

The line's newer Edge Class ships have a younger, hipper ambience than their older ships. Think martini bars, foodie havens and jazz clubs, all with decor that looks nothing like your parents' cruise ships.

For those who like to gamble, try the mainstream cruise lines. The large casinos offer yet another opportunity to meet other singles on board — particularly at the table games. Margaritaville at Sea is another line to consider with plenty of gambling singles on board.

For fortysomething singles looking for onboard romance, we suggest a studio cabin for seven nights on NCL's new Norwegian Viva bound for the Caribbean . There's plenty to do on board and in port to help you meet people.

Additionally, the solo cabins, which have been redone in a more elegant style than on some of the line's older ships, provide access to the Studio Lounge for socializing. The lounge has also been revamped, giving it an upscale feel with free daily snacks and drinks. (Note that Norwegian's cabins for one sell out quickly, so you'll want to book early.)

Another great pick would be Virgin Voyages' four-night Fire and Sunset Soiree sailings from Miami on Scarlet Lady . They include stops at Key West and a private beach club on Bimini , plus a sea day to get to know your fellow passengers. The cost for a single "sailor," as Virgin calls them, starts at around $700.

Best cruises for singles over 50

For senior singles cruises, all the previous options are still reasonable choices. However, some lines cater a bit more to this age group. The caveat is that cruise lines that cater to mature travelers are often targeted at couples, with solo travelers skewing older.

Oceania , Azamara and Holland America are tops on this list, especially on their shorter cruises that attract still-working professionals. The ships are large enough to have a mix of singles among the usual crowd of couples but small enough to provide a strong chance of actually meeting those other singles on board.

These lines offer port-intensive itineraries, so book ship tours to connect with like-minded folks on board since you likely won't spend as much time lounging around the pool.

For singles over 50, a Celebrity Cruises itinerary in the Mediterranean will likely include many other singles with whom you can mingle. Mediterranean cruises are popular with active mid-lifers looking to see more of the world. What could be more romantic than cruising the Greek Isles or the Italian coastline?

Best cruises for singles over 60

Single retirees with the freedom to enjoy longer and often more expensive cruises have loads of options for meeting people. The list starts with premium lines like Holland America, Oceania and Cunard , but also Viking and Princess Cruises .

Single travelers in their 60s and older with a large travel budget should consider luxury cruise lines like Seabourn Cruise Line , Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Silversea Cruises . All of these cater to singles with reduced supplement charges and singles meet-and-greets.

Visit the maitre d' on the first day of your cruise to ensure you are seated at the same table or group of tables with other singles for dinner in the main dining room. Dance classes, trivia games and port tours also put you in the right place at the right time to strike up conversations with others looking to make new connections. Social hostesses on luxury lines can introduce you to other solo travelers, too.

River cruises in Europe are another possibility for singles in this age group. River cruises are inherently social, in part because of the small size of the ships, but also because daily tours put people with shared interests in proximity during walking and bus excursions. There are also choices of specialty theme cruises for LGBTQ+ cruisers , wine lovers, golfers and ancestry seekers, all of which make it easier for singles to meet people on board.

Lines to consider include AmaWaterways , Viking River Cruises, Avalon River Cruises, Emerald Cruises and Uniworld River Cruises. River cruises also sometimes offer reduced single supplements, making them more affordable for those traveling alone.

A top pick for this age group would be an Alaska sailing on Silversea Cruises. This luxury line includes everything in one fare — even many fabulous Alaska excursions you would pay hundreds of dollars for on any other line. The ships are small enough that you can easily meet your fellow travelers, and the excursions make it easy to share experiences with other singles on board.

Bottom line

The romance of a cruise is undeniable. From dressy dinners to the moon's glow on the ocean waves, cruising can feel like a setting straight from a Hollywood film. Though not as simple as swiping right, cruising to meet other singles has appeal.

Choosing the right cruise line and activities can help you narrow your potential candidates. Looking for an outdoor adventurer? Choose active tours in port. Want to share your love of music, wine or Blackjack with someone? Pick a theme cruise focused on your passion.

If you just want to dance the night away with singles in your own age group, there's a ship for you — whether your jam is rock 'n' roll, hip hop or a classic waltz.

Also, you lose nothing by trying. Even if you don't meet the partner of your dreams, you'll enjoy a fantastic cruise vacation.

10 Best Cruises for Singles of All Ages

Here are some of the best cruises for solo travelers at any age.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

Traveling the world without having to pack and unpack multiple times is ideal. And on a cruise, that's a reality as you head from destination to destination on what is basically a moving luxury hotel (or a floating city, in some cases ).

Being able to sleep in Bratislava and wake up in Budapest in five-star-worthy accommodations without having to drag all your stuff with you is as convenient as it is luxurious. But cruises aren't just for couples or families — they're great for singles as well.

Colleen McDaniel, the editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic , tells Travel + Leisure that cruises are a great place to meet new people. Some ships have single cabins, host parties for single passengers, or even waive the single supplement fee ( river cruises tend to do that most often).

For example, Norwegian Cruise Line offers studio cabins for single travelers that include access to an exclusive lounge with complimentary espresso and snacks. "One of the benefits of sailing as a single is cruises are generally social. That's how they're designed," McDaniel says. "If you're somebody who's comfortable traveling by themselves and looks to make friends on vacation, there's no shortage of people you're going to meet."

But while younger travelers might want to hop around Europe and party every night, someone in their 50s may be interested in a longer cruise with opportunities for cultural immersion. Whatever your travel style, here are the best cruises for singles of any age.

Cruises for Singles in Their 20s

Cruises that last three to five nights are great for singles in their 20s, in part because they're less expensive, McDaniel says. If you do end up having to pay for a single supplement, "it's a little bit less of a hit to your wallet."

New cruise line Virgin Voyages offers exciting journeys aboard their ultra-Instagrammable ship, Scarlet Lady . The four-night Fire and Sunset Soirees cruise from Miami is ideal for travelers in their 20s or 30s looking for a healthy mix of party and wellness. All cruisers must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon boarding.

Another great option is a three-day cruise to the Bahamas from Miami on Norwegian Sky . The ship was refurbished in 2019 and offers 10 dining options, a full-service Starbucks, and a casino for late-night bonding around the blackjack table with your new shipmates. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required upon boarding for guests ages 12 and up.

Cruises for Singles in Their 30s

According to McDaniel, cruisers in their 30s are likely looking for a good mix of "bustling nightlife and engaging in classes, but they also really want to explore and experience culture." She says river cruises that offer things like silent discos and paint-and-wine classes appeal to this age group.

The eight-day Vienna Vibe cruise from U by Uniworld is a great option (note the cruise line is on hiatus until 2023). This cruise line was originally built to cater to millennials, and this itinerary includes excursions like a walking tour of Vienna and biking around Passau. On board, morning yoga classes and a rooftop ice bar ensure guests will always have something to do. A negative COVID-19 test may be required for unvaccinated passengers when entering foreign countries.

Other travelers might want to opt for a South American adventure with National Geographic. The 10-day Upper Amazon river cruise aboard the Delfin II offers a chance to spot diverse wildlife within this impressive ecosystem.

Cruises for Singles in Their 40s

Upscale, bigger cruises on ships from Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity will likely appeal to cruisers in their 40s, McDaniel says. These cruises tend to be a bit more expensive, but "appeal because they have some really great excursions and might go off the beaten path. They're destination-immersive experiences."

The seven-night Galapagos Southern Loop on Celebrity Xpedition is one fantastic option. The Galapagos Islands are a great destination for solo travelers and this cruise is a solid way to see them. Search for sea turtles, sea lions, and blue-footed boobies during the day, and spend the evening in the ship's hot tub or take in one of the nightly lectures by certified naturalists from the Galapagos National Park. All guests must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon entry.

A seven-day Norwegian Fjords cruise aboard Princess Cruises' Sky Princess is an additional option for travelers hoping to explore another part of the world best seen from a ship.

Cruises for Singles in Their 50s

McDaniel says that a river cruise is a great option for someone in their 50s, with some lines waiving the single supplement fee and putting age restrictions on passengers (since you may not want little kids running around). Some companies, she notes, do a great job of hosting single mixers, which adds to the social experience. A cruise along the Danube or Rhine rivers is always a great choice, and there are several lines to choose from.

Sail along the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers on Viking's Grand European Tour , which starts in Amsterdam and ends in Budapest. Along the way, the ship stops in charming towns and major European capitals for a well-rounded trip through continental Europe.

The twelve-day Cities of Light cruise , also from Viking River Cruises, carries passengers between Paris and Prague with several stops in Germany along the way. On board, sip a glass of wine and enjoy the sight of the cities slipping by. For both Viking Cruises, guests must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon boarding.

Cruises for Single Seniors

A world cruise is a great option for seniors, McDaniel says, as they tend to have more free time. These cruises visit multiple countries over a longer period of time, and after a while, the boat feels like home.

"One of the great things about being a senior is you tend to have a far more flexible schedule," she says. "You also likely have a bit more disposable income."

The 71-day Grand Africa Voyage from Holland America Line offers a round-trip journey from Fort Lauderdale, stopping in Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Jordan, Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa, and more on its cruise around the African continent. All guests must be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 upon arrival.

Cunard's Centenary World Voyages is even longer, at 117 nights aboard the Queen Mary 2 . The cruise includes two transatlantic crossings and stops across Asia, South Africa, and Australia, departing and arriving in New York City. On a cruise this long, even the shiest solo traveler is bound to make a few friends. All guests ages 12 and up must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 14 days prior to travel.

Ultimately, cruises provide a versatile and dynamic vacation option for young adults, presenting an array of experiences tailored to their unique preferences and desires.

What is a good cruise?

A good cruise is one that offers a well-rounded experience, catering to the diverse needs and interests of its guests. While the definition of a good cruise may vary depending on individual preferences, there are several key factors that contribute to an exceptional cruising experience. These factors include a wide array of onboard activities, quality accommodations, exceptional dining options, and exciting itineraries that take travelers to breathtaking destinations.

Onboard activities play a significant role in creating a memorable cruise experience. A good cruise will offer a variety of entertainment options and amenities that cater to different age groups and interests. These may include live shows, themed parties, sports facilities, swimming pools, and wellness centers. For young adults, cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean , Norwegian Cruise Line , and Carnival Cruise Line are renowned for providing exhilarating and engaging activities that appeal to this demographic.

Quality accommodations are another essential aspect of a good cruise. Comfortable, well-appointed staterooms with attentive service ensure that guests can enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating stay. Many cruise lines offer a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and preferences, from cozy interior cabins to lavish suites with private balconies. Furthermore, exceptional dining options that cater to various tastes and dietary needs are a vital component of a top-notch cruise experience. Guests can expect a mix of casual and fine dining venues, as well as specialty restaurants that offer diverse cuisine options.

Lastly, a good cruise will feature exciting itineraries that enable travelers to explore new destinations and immerse themselves in unique cultures. Cruise lines often curate itineraries that balance the time spent at sea with port calls, allowing guests to make the most of their vacation. The best cruises offer a combination of popular tourist destinations and lesser-known gems, providing an opportunity for travelers to create lasting memories and broaden their horizons.

What are the different types of cruises?

The cruising industry has evolved to offer a wide variety of options catering to diverse interests and preferences. In order to meet the needs of different travelers, several types of cruises have emerged, each with its unique offerings and experiences.

Adventure cruises are designed for those seeking thrilling experiences and active itineraries. These cruises often include activities such as kayaking, hiking, and wildlife watching, with destinations that showcase natural wonders, wildlife, and remote landscapes. Lines like UnCruise Adventures and Lindblad Expeditions are known for providing these types of immersive experiences.

Themed cruises focus on a specific interest or hobby, offering guests the opportunity to indulge in their passions while sailing. These cruises can revolve around music festivals, gastronomy, sports, wellness, or even television shows and movies. Cruise lines like StarVista Live and Sixthman are popular for their music-themed cruises.

River cruises provide a more intimate and leisurely experience, with smaller ships that navigate inland waterways.

Luxury cruises focus on providing an upscale, all-inclusive experience, with exceptional service, gourmet dining, and spacious accommodations. Cruise lines such as Regent Seven Seas and Crystal Cruises cater to guests who seek unparalleled luxury and sophistication.

Celebrity Cruises are known for their modern luxury and elegant design, and they also cater to young adults with their wide range of onboard activities, entertainment, and nightlife options.

When should you go on a cruise?

Deciding when to go on a cruise is an essential aspect of planning a memorable and enjoyable vacation. The ideal time to embark on a cruise depends on various factors such as destination, budget, personal preferences, and weather conditions. By considering these elements, travelers can optimize their cruising experience and make the most of their voyage.

Destination plays a significant role in determining the best time for a cruise. Different regions have their peak travel seasons, usually characterized by favorable weather and increased tourist activity. For example, the Caribbean is a popular year-round destination, but the optimal cruising season typically falls between December and April, when the weather is warm and sunny with minimal rainfall. On the other hand, Mediterranean cruises are best enjoyed between May and October, when temperatures are pleasant and the majority of ports are bustling with activity. Alaska’s cruising season is shorter, spanning from May to September, with the warmest months being June and July.

Budget is another crucial factor when deciding when to cruise. Peak travel seasons often come with higher prices and increased demand, which may impact the availability of desirable accommodations and itineraries. Travelers on a budget may consider cruising during the shoulder seasons – the periods just before and after the peak seasons – to take advantage of lower prices and fewer crowds. Additionally, booking a cruise during the off-season or keeping an eye out for last-minute deals and early-bird specials can result in significant savings.

Lastly, personal preferences and priorities can influence the ideal time for a cruise. For travelers who prefer a quieter, more relaxed experience, cruising during the off-season may be more appealing. On the other hand, those who thrive on lively atmospheres and bustling ports may prefer to sail during peak travel seasons. It is essential to consider factors such as personal schedules, school or work commitments, and any specific events or festivals that may influence the timing of the cruise.

Entertainment and socializing wise MSC Cruises offer a range of bars and clubs

Depending on where you book, you may find there are more non-English speaking Europeans onboard.

Otherwise, if booking a double occupancy room, you’ll have to pay a single supplement fee, but be sure to look out for good deals where this fee is significantly reduced to like 80% off.

MSC cruises offer great value for money.   The main reasons for this are that they allow more passengers onboard per cubic feet so you may notice the ships are a little busier than some of the alternative options for singles in their 20s

The older ships will be the cheapest, so check how long since it has been refurbed in case that’s a factor as they tend to leave a little longer than some other cruise lines.

The newer ships still offer relatively good value and are packed with features such as

• Formula One Simulator
• Splash Parks
• Water Slides

And more (depending on the ship).

The bottom line, if a tight budget is a factor, MSC Cruises are well worth considering.

Best Time For Singles in 20s to Cruise

The best time of year for singles under 30 to take a cruise can depend on a few factors, such as preferred destinations and budget. 

Cruising during the off-peak season can be a great way to save money on fares as well as being a time when there will more likely be other solo travelers onboard rather than parents with young kids.

If you’re a student or have a flexible work schedule, summer break can be an ideal time to take a cruise.

3, 4 or even 5-night cruises from Florida are much more likely to have a younger demographic on board, as well a more party atmosphere onboard.

Water parks, hot tubs, dance lessons, and fitness classes are just a few ways to spend time and meet people. Cruise liners such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean have some of the best offerings for activities on singles cruises. 

These companies provide everything from poolside games and sports tournaments to karaoke competitions and happy hours, with special discounts for single travelers.

Dining Options On Singles Cruises

Cruises aimed at young singles in their 30s typically provide various dining options. The cruise line’s main restaurant is usually the centerpiece of the food scene, and it offers traditional dinner service with multiple courses. 

In addition to this sit-down meal, there are often buffets for breakfast and lunch and casual snacks throughout the day. Some cruises may offer specialty restaurants that serve ethnic cuisines worldwide. 

Singles cruises may have organized seating arrangements for meals or group events, while others may allow guests to choose seating arrangements.

If you are on a singles cruise and are on your own, you can ask to be seated at a large table with other single travelers looking to meet new people and make connections. This can be an excellent opportunity to socialize and make new friends while enjoying your cruise experience.

If you’re embarking on a singles cruise, there’s no need to worry about boredom or feeling left out of the action. Plenty of shore excursions cater to solo travelers, so you can explore new destinations and have fun with like-minded people. 

From adrenaline-pumping activities like zip-lining and jet skiing to more relaxed pursuits like beach lounging and wine tasting, there’s something for every personality type. You could even sign up for a walking tour or a cooking class to learn more about the local culture and cuisine. 

Tips For Solo Travelers On Singles Cruises

Going on a single cruise as a solo traveler can be an exciting and thrilling experience. However, being new to the cruise scene can be daunting. To help ease some of the nerves, here are a few tips to make the most out of your singles cruise. 

Firstly, get involved in as many activities as possible, as this is the best way to meet fellow travelers and make new friends. Please take advantage of the organized group excursions and events; they will guarantee a good time and provide a safe and fun social environment. 

Be open-minded and approachable. Being on a singles cruise means that everyone is in the same boat, so it’s easier to strike up a conversation with fellow passengers than talking to strangers in everyday daily life.  

If you are nervous sailing alone, opt for sailing on one of the shorter cruises out of Florida. This will allow you to see if a single supplement solo cabin is for you and if you can handle a more extended solo cruise. 

Finally, and most importantly, have fun! A singles cruise is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a holiday, make new friends, and find someone special!

Best Singles Cruises for people over 30

Taking a singles cruise in your 30s or below is a fantastic experience and one you should consider if you’re ready to put yourself out there and meet some new people. From the all-inclusive luxury packages, group activities, and ample opportunities for romance, your singles cruise will be truly unforgettable. 

Plus, many singles cruises have social planners to facilitate making friends, so even if you are a bit shy and finding it hard to approach people, chances are you’ll find someone to hang out with before the weekends! 

If you’ve been thinking about taking a singles cruise, research and see what’s out there for you. There’s no doubt that doing this for the first time can be a big step out of your comfort zone, and traveling solo is only for some. It will be a memorable experience, though, that could be life-changing if you meet the right person.
