If I had a penny for every time I sailed on a cruise surrounded by lovey-dovey couples, I could book another sailing on one of the world’s most expensive luxury vessels. It’s no secret that ship cabins are generally designed for double occupancy, meaning that if you’re sailing by yourself, you’re in the minority — and you often end up paying double the price for a room of your own.
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and it’s a holiday I find completely overrated. So in the spirit of anti-Valentine’s Day, I’m giving a shout-out to all of the solo cruisers looking to get away for a reasonable price.
Read on for a roundup of cruise lines that are waiving or deeply discounting single supplements this wave season — because solo travelers should be able to cruise without breaking the bank.
