Solo Doesn’t Mean Alone At Sea
Cruising solo has never been more rewarding! Many of our Preferred Cruise Partners are making it easier than ever for independent travelers by waiving or reducing single supplements—meaning you can enjoy your own stateroom without paying double. Whether you’re dreaming of a sun-soaked ocean voyage, a cultural river journey, or an adventurous expedition, you’ll have the freedom to explore on your own terms while still enjoying the social connections, entertainment, and world-class dining that cruising offers. And the best part? You’ll return home with unforgettable memories, new friends, and the satisfaction of knowing your solo adventure was both indulgent and smartly priced.
Finding New Paths – Embracing Solo Travel
2025 has been a year of profound change for me. In June, I lost my husband—my best friend, my partner in every sense of the word. Life looks very different now, and I’m learning to navigate this new chapter as a widow.
Through it all, travel has remained a constant in my life. In recent years, I’ve taken many business trips on my own, as my husband’s work often kept him from joining me. Now, traveling solo isn’t just a necessity—it’s become a calling.
I’ve realized that Solo Travel is no longer a niche idea; it’s a movement. Whether by choice or by circumstance, more people than ever are discovering the joy and empowerment that comes with exploring the world on their own. And the travel industry is responding. Many cruise lines and tour operators are not only recognizing solo travelers—they’re welcoming us with open arms. They’re reducing or waiving single supplements, offering beautiful accommodations (not forgotten corners of a ship or uninspiring hotel rooms), and creating spaces where traveling alone feels special, not second-best.
Some of my favorite partners are leading the way. One river cruise line has set aside 50 sailings exclusively for solo travelers—no couples allowed. Imagine that: a whole ship filled with fellow solo adventurers, each with their own private space but ready to share experiences, laughter, and new discoveries together. I love this idea, and I’m excited to start forming groups to join these journeys.
This is more than a shift in my business—it’s a personal mission. I want to help you find the perfect solo experience, whether you’ve always dreamed of traveling alone or life has simply brought you to this moment. And whenever I can, I’ll be traveling right alongside you.
Life has a way of handing us challenges we didn’t ask for. But I believe in finding the beauty in what’s next—turning life’s lemons into something sweet, refreshing, and full of possibility.
