Travelling alone should not mean paying twice as much for your cruise. At BlueSun Cruises, we help solo travellers discover cruise deals, special single-occupancy fares and opportunities to avoid expensive single supplements.
Whether you are looking for a luxury ocean voyage, a European river cruise, a small-ship expedition or a relaxing holiday closer to home, our cruise specialists can help you find the right cruise at the right price.
We work with leading international cruise lines to identify opportunities for Australian solo travellers, including selected sailings with reduced or waived single supplements.

| Feature | What You Need to Know |
|---|---|
| Best Opportunities | Reduced or waived single supplements |
| Cruise Types | Ocean, river, luxury and expedition cruises |
| Popular Destinations | Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, Antarctica and the South Pacific |
| Solo Accommodation | Dedicated solo cabins or single occupancy of standard cabins |
| Best Booking Strategy | Compare the total solo fare, not just the advertised discount |
| Our Advice | Be flexible with dates, destinations and cabin categories to find better-value solo cruise deals |
Finding the best solo cruise deal is about more than choosing the lowest advertised fare. Some cruise lines provide dedicated solo cabins, while others offer promotional departures where single supplements are reduced or waived.
At BlueSun Cruises, we help travellers compare these opportunities across different cruise lines and destinations.
No Single Supplement Cruises
Selected cruise departures allow solo travellers to occupy an eligible cabin without paying an additional single supplement. These offers can provide excellent value, particularly on luxury and expedition cruises.
Availability is generally limited to particular sailings and cabin categories.
Reduced Single Supplement Cruises
Not every solo cruise promotion eliminates the supplement entirely. Some cruise lines offer reduced single supplements, making a cabin more affordable for one person.
These offers are worth comparing against dedicated solo cabins and standard single-occupancy fares.
Solo Cabin Cruise Deals
Some larger cruise ships feature accommodation specifically designed and priced for one traveller.
Depending on the ship, these may include access to dedicated solo lounges or social spaces.
Luxury & Expedition Solo Cruise Deals
Luxury and expedition cruise operators sometimes offer attractive solo promotions on selected voyages.
For travellers considering destinations such as Antarctica, the Arctic, the Kimberley or the South Pacific, these promotions can make a significant difference to the overall holiday cost.
Best Cruise Lines for Solo Travellers
Different cruise lines cater to solo travellers in different ways. Some offer dedicated accommodation, while others provide special promotional fares.
| Cruise Line | Solo Traveller Opportunities | Best Suited To |
|---|---|---|
| PONANT | Selected reduced or waived single supplement offers | Luxury small-ship and expedition cruising |
| Norwegian Cruise Line | Dedicated solo accommodation on selected ships | Ocean cruising and social experiences |
| Cunard | Single staterooms on selected ships | Traditional ocean cruising |
| Holland America Line | Single cabins on selected ships and occasional promotions | Premium ocean cruising |
| Celebrity Cruises | Solo accommodation on selected ships | Modern premium cruising |
| Scenic | Selected solo promotions | Luxury river and expedition cruising |
| Riviera Travel | Solo-friendly river cruise departures and promotions | European river cruising |
Solo accommodation, fares and promotions vary by ship, departure date and availability. Our consultants can check the options applicable to your preferred cruise.
PONANT is one of our preferred options for travellers seeking luxury small-ship and expedition cruises.
On selected departures, PONANT offers reduced or waived single supplements, creating opportunities for solo travellers to enjoy exceptional destinations without the usual additional single-occupancy costs.
From the Mediterranean and South Pacific to polar expeditions and remote island destinations, PONANT offers an extensive range of small-ship experiences.

For independent travellers who enjoy exploring extraordinary destinations, luxury and expedition cruising can be particularly rewarding.
Smaller ships often provide a more personal atmosphere, while organised shore excursions, lectures and shared experiences create natural opportunities to meet fellow travellers.
Popular options include:
-
Antarctica and the Arctic: Wildlife, polar landscapes and expedition experiences.
-
The Kimberley: Remote Australian coastlines, waterfalls and Aboriginal cultural experiences.
-
The Galápagos Islands: Wildlife encounters and natural history.
-
European Rivers: Cultural experiences, historic towns and guided excursions.
-
The South Pacific: Tropical islands, lagoons and small-ship exploration.
A solo cruise does not have to be a singles cruise. Many independent travellers simply prefer the freedom of travelling on their own while enjoying the convenience of an organised holiday.
How to Find the Best Solo Cruise Deal
The lowest advertised fare is not always the best-value option for someone travelling alone.
A cruise offering a waived single supplement may still cost more than another cruise line's dedicated solo cabin.
Before booking, compare the total fare, cabin category, inclusions and any additional costs.
❖ BlueSun Insight: Don't Just Look for a Zero Single Supplement
One of the biggest mistakes solo travellers make is assuming that a cruise advertising no single supplement must be the best deal.
It isn't necessarily.
A luxury cruise with a waived supplement may still cost considerably more than a cruise offering a dedicated solo cabin. Conversely, a more expensive all-inclusive cruise could represent better value once drinks, excursions, gratuities and other inclusions are considered.
Our advice is simple: compare what you actually pay for the entire cruise, not just the advertised saving.
Tell us where you want to travel, when you can go and what sort of cruising you enjoy. We can help identify the options worth considering.
Booking a solo cruise can involve more decisions than booking a conventional twin-share holiday.
Cabin availability, single supplements, promotions and cruise-line policies can vary considerably.
BlueSun Cruises is part of BlueSun Travel, an Australian-owned travel business with decades of experience helping travellers plan and book cruises.
Our consultants can assist with comparing cruise lines, identifying suitable solo accommodation and reviewing available promotional fares.
We can also help arrange flights, accommodation and other travel arrangements to complement your cruise.
