Single cabin cruises are only one way to cruise on your own, but can offer you the privacy not offered with single share and are oftentimes priced more affordably, especially on cruises without single supplement.

Yes, you can definitely get a "single room"—officially called a Solo Cabin or Studio Cabin—on a cruise in 2026. In the past, solo travelers often had to pay a "single supplement" (essentially paying for two people to have the room to themselves), but modern lines like Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Saga Cruises now build dedicated cabins specifically for one person. These rooms are usually smaller than a standard double but are designed with clever storage and often include access to an exclusive "Solo Lounge" where you can meet other single travelers. Norwegian is particularly famous for this, offering "Studio" cabins on almost all their newer ships. Saga Cruises is another excellent option for older travelers, as over 20% of the cabins on their ships are designated for solo use. While these cabins are popular and often sell out early, they are significantly more affordable than paying the double-occupancy rate and provide a private sanctuary without the "solo tax" that historically made cruising expensive for individuals traveling alone.
