🛳 Cruise Solo, Not Alone: 5 Cruise Lines That Roll Out the Welcome Mat
By Michelle Marks - Dragon Wolf Travel
Thinking of cruising solo but not sure where to start? You’re exactly who these cruise lines had in mind. No awkward dinners. No paying double. Just oceans of freedom, new friends if you want them, and your own cabin retreat.
🌊 Why Solo Cruising Works:
Cruising solo isn't about isolation—it's about independence with built-in ease. You unpack once, see multiple destinations, and choose your pace each day. Quiet breakfast with a view? Done. Dancing under the stars with a group you met at trivia? Also done.
