Norwegian Cruise Line built its luxurious studio staterooms specifically with single cruisers in mind. Offered on nine different NCL ships, these staterooms include a comfortable queen bed, a minimalistic bathroom area, and a large digital porthole to watch the bright blue ocean waves.

As a solo sailor and studio guest, you’ll get exclusive access to the ship’s Studio Complex and Lounge. This common area is a fantastic place to meet other solo travelers, as you enjoy the studio’s many amenities. Order some room service, watch a movie on the big screen, or chat with your fellow cruisers.

One of the best ways to meet other travelers while cruising is on an excursion in port. Of course, the type of excursions you’ll be able to take will depend on your cruise itinerary. You could dog sled on a glacier in Skagway, Alaska; kayak through the stunning fjords near Ísafjörður, Iceland; go on a beachfront camel ride in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; or eat your way through Athens with the help of a local chef in Greece – after a visit to the famed Acropolis, of course. The possibilities go on and on!

While dining alone can often be the most daunting part of solo travel, Norwegian Cruise Line’s various laidback dining options make this challenge a whole lot easier. The Garden Café buffet offers casual bites from cuisines all across the world. The Local Bar & Grill serves up just about every comfort food you can dream of, including juicy cheeseburgers, loaded nachos, flavorful lechon asado, and crispy fish and chips. You can even have room service delivered straight to your stateroom. And if you don’t feel like dining alone, you don’t have to! There’s a good chance that loads of other cruises will be open to another friendly face at the table. Plus, many of the specialty dining restaurants offer bar sitting areas that you can comfortably dine alone.

Regardless of if you’re traveling solo or in a group, the best way to spend your evenings aboard an NCL ship is by enjoying the entertaining nightlife. Watch Broadway-quality performances or laugh until you cry at comedy shows. Listen to live music in one of the many onboard lounges or sit back with a signature cocktail. You can even try your luck at the slot machines and poker tables in the lively casino, where you could walk away as the biggest winner of the night.
