Solo travel is having a moment — and honestly, it deserves one. There’s something genuinely exciting about setting your own itinerary, exploring a new port at your own pace, and spending your days exactly the way you want to. No compromise on destinations, no negotiating over dinner reservations, no waiting around. Just you and the open water.

If cruising has ever been on your solo travel radar but you weren’t sure it was the right fit, Norwegian Cruise Line has some good news for you.

Priced for One — Actually

Norwegian has expanded their dedicated Solo Staterooms across the fleet, with options ranging from Studios and Inside rooms all the way up to Oceanview and Solo Balcony staterooms. Because these cabins are designed and priced for a single guest from the start, you’re getting fair value without the traditional single supplement markup. More of your budget stays where it belongs — on experiences.

Your Own Space to Come Back To

On select ships, solo travellers get exclusive keycard access to the Studio Lounge — a private social space just for independent guests. It’s a relaxed spot to grab a complimentary coffee or espresso, wind down after a port day, or strike up a conversation with fellow travellers if you’re in the mood. A genuinely lovely perk that makes the solo experience feel considered rather than cobbled together.

Everywhere You’ve Been Wanting to Go

Solo Staterooms are available across every destination Norwegian sails. Alaska. The Caribbean. The Mediterranean. The Greek Isles. Northern Europe. Hawai’i. Transatlantic crossings. The Panama Canal. Wherever your travel list takes you, there’s a solo sailing to match.

Built for Flexibility

One of the best things about cruising solo? You still get all the variety and energy of a full ship — incredible dining, live entertainment, shore excursions, sea days — but you engage with it completely on your own terms. Want to spend a port day on a guided tour? Book it. Want to find a quiet corner of the deck with a good book? Done. Solo cruising gives you the full experience without locking you into anyone else’s plans.

Ready to Make It Happen?

Norwegian’s expanded solo programme makes it easier than ever to book the trip you’ve been thinking about. Your Ellison Vacations travel advisor can help you find the right sailing, the right stateroom category, and the best way to layer in Free at Sea perks to make your trip even better value.

Your adventure. Your way. Let’s find your sailing.
