Cruising as a Single can be a very rewarding experience, and not as lonely as some people would think. With so much to do onboard you will never be bored or feel alone. You can decide whether you want to meet new people or simply go your own way. Either way, it can be a far more adventurous holiday than spending it at a single destination.
Obviously the costs are going to be a little more expensive than sharing the cabin, however at Crazy Cruises we have some great singles cruise deals to get you away as soon as humanly possible!

Choosing the right Singles Cruise
Single SupplementsTaking a cruise as a single may cost more than sharing, however you only live once! Cruise lines don't usually offer cabins for one person, so they will give you the double occupancy cabin at a higher rate than the per person cruise cost. This is known as the single supplement - which can range between an extra 10% up to possibly 100% of the cruise fare. Some cruise liners publish deals with low single supplements.
Ship / CabinSmall cruise ships are perfect for single cruisers as they are usually more closed physically but often more social. The smaller amount of people often means smaller excursion numbers offshore hence it may be easier to meet new people and make new friends.
Young or in your Senior Years - You can be a Single Traveller at any age!
Whether you are a Young Adult, a middle aged Single traveller, or a Senior citizen wanting the trip of a lifetime, a cruise holiday is bound to be a rewarding experience.
In summary, don't be put off by the size of the cruise ship, the potential noise from kids or that voice in your head that keeps saying 'NO'. Put yourself out there, go and explore and do something you didn't think you could do. You may look back on a singles cruise as the trip of a lifetime - and who knows, you may not be single for much longer!
