Solo travel is booming in 2024—23% of travellers are exploring independently. But sometimes, everything is better with good company: a shared laugh, someone to snap your photo, or a meal filled with stories—it all adds up to a richer experience.
Balancing independence with companionship is key, whether that means sharing a cabin or simply finding someone to join you for excursions.
Why 2024 is The Year to Go For It!
Cruise lines have recognised that solo travellers don’t want to be alone all the time. More single-occupancy cabins are available, and cruise experiences now make meeting fellow travellers comfortable and natural. Imagine connecting with a fellow cruise enthusiast online—not just anyone, but someone with similar interests. They’ve been ID verified for peace of mind, and you can get to know each other virtually before the journey. Maybe you even meet for a coffee before setting sail, and by the time your cruise begins, what could have been a solitary experience transforms into something beautifully shared.
Platforms like Companion Cruises facilitate connections before the trip even begins. You can step on board already knowing who will join you for that first sunset cocktail or exploring Venice’s streets. For many worried about loneliness, this makes a big difference. Plus, the first three months of membership are free, making it easy to explore your options without commitment.
On some cruises, 85% of solo bookings are made by female travellers. The industry is responding with inclusive, enriching experiences like cooking classes and group hikes that make connecting with others easier. Ladies, what would make a cruise perfect for you—relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both?
Why Having a Companion Makes a Difference
- Freedom With Connection: Explore at your own pace, but share the best moments with someone.
- New Friendships: Meeting fellow travellers early makes the journey exciting from the start.
- Flexibility: Share a cabin or keep your own space, meeting for activities when you feel like it.
- Deep Cultural Immersion: Extended port stays allow for deeper exploration, enjoying local experiences with someone who shares your curiosity.
