More Singles InfoIf you can't make one of our hosted singles cruises but you're still looking for a festive mood and other single passengers to socialize with, large ships (1200+ passengers) sailing seven nights or fewer in the Caribbean, Bahamas or Mexico have many singles on board. On a cruise, everyone's "in the same boat." The atmosphere is social and making friends can be as easy as leaving your cabin and joining in the various ship activities and shore excursions. Some cruise lines cater to single customers by hosting special get-togethers. Holland America throws a Solo Traveler's party each sailing. If you're interested in meeting singles in other ways, request to be seated with other singles at dinner. Many cruise lines will make these special efforts for you. One of the most popular services for mature, single women is something called the gentlemen host or social host program. Gentlemen hosts act as dance partners and conversationalists for single women on board. You need only to venture to the evening's entertainment to find yourself a delightful new friend. Gentlemen hosts are usually found on Cunard's ships, Voyages of Discovery's MV Discovery and on most sailings on Crystal and Silversea. You'll also find them on Holland America's longer cruises of 30 nights or more. So, what will it cost you to cruise as a single? That depends on the ship and the option you choose. Some cruise lines have a limited number of single cabins available. Voyages of Discovery's MV Discovery has single cabins (category C, GG and II). Cruise West's ships Spirit of Discovery and Spirit of 98 have single cabins, and on their Spirit of Columbia and Spirit of Alaska, you can book a double room at the single rate (categories B and C), subject to availability. Hurtigruten, P&O and Silversea occasionally offer special incentives to single travelers. One way to cut costs as a single traveler is to participate in a singles share program. Cruise West, GAP, P&O Cruises and Holland America will offer to pair you with a roommate of the same sex in a double stateroom. Both singles pay the per person, double occupancy rate. In some cases, if they find no one suitable for you to room with, you will get your own double stateroom for the single price! These singles share programs are restricted by category and limited in availability, as are the single cabins. If you want to participate in the singles share program, you'll need to book early! If you'd rather not share your room or be limited by category, you will have to pay a single supplement fare. These fares can run anywhere from 110-200% of the per person double occupancy rate, with 6-star lines (Crystal, Silversea, Regent and Seabourn) charging the smallest supplement for singles. Most other cruise lines charge 150-200% of the per person, double occupancy rate for their single supplement fares.
