Many singles gravitate toward exciting adventures in exotic destinations such as Bali, Malaysia and Thailand, which hold appeal simply because they provide such distinct scenery and powerful cultural experiences.

Not all singles are willing or prepared to navigate these destinations on their own, however and this is where the Celebrity Millennium comes into play: An upscale cruise removes the hassle of planning and, instead, encourages you to relax in style.

This particular Celebrity Millennium adventure spans nearly two weeks, incorporating a unique blend of serene island adventures, cosmopolitan exploration and meaningful temple visits. 

For those seeking a solo getaway, expect globally inspired menus and resort-style lounges, all within the relaxing atmosphere of an adults-only cruise.

If Norway’s iconic fjords are on your bucket list, you can’t afford to miss this awe-inspiring Celebrity Apex trip. Departing from Southampton, the seven-night cruise along Norway’s coast visits scenic spots like Geiranger and Kristiansand, offering outdoor adventures. With up to 10 hours docked, you’ll have plenty of time for side trips and exploration at your own pace. 

Accommodation options abound and the staterooms’ king-size mattresses feel extra spacious when traveling alone. An adults-only solarium will appeal to relaxation-oriented solo travelers, while abundant dining, entertainment options and plenty of things to do on a cruise make it easy to find and connect with new friends.

If you’re torn between glamorous onboard experiences and outdoor adventures, Celebrity Summit delivers both with its Cruise tour offerings. Many great options depart from Vancouver, Anchorage or Fairbanks, but the Grand Heartland Adventure is a standout for those craving something new.

On the Premium Grand Heartland Adventure, cruise the stunning Inside Passage, stopping in adventure destinations like Juneau and Sitka, then marvel at Hubbard Glacier. Further exploration continues aboard a glass-domed railcar and riverboat.

Onboard, the AquaClass stateroom offers a serene retreat for solo travelers, while the exclusive cocktail lounge and martini bar invite socializing. With nearly two weeks of cruising and adventure, you’ll have time to unwind solo or connect with like-minded travelers.

Cruises for singles over 50 often emphasize the finer things in life, like elevated cuisine or exquisite wines. These sophisticated details are in abundant supply aboard the Celebrity Solstice, which offers a decidedly elegant experience with its Australia Wine and Tasmania tour. Although often frequented by retired couples, Celebrity Solstice’s trips work well as solo cruises.

Available for ten nights, this remarkable journey begins in Sydney and primarily emphasizes curated onboard experiences. That said, there are enticing opportunities to explore while docked in Tasmania. With such glamorous suites, restaurants and clubs onboard, however, the best attractions can be enjoyed without ever leaving this luxury cruise ship.

Not everyone desires a river-based trip, but with Oceania Cruises, there is no need to choose between exclusivity and ocean liner grandeur.

A signature experience awaits aboard Oceania Cruises’ iconic Vista, a ship that blends calming elegance with modern luxury. Set sail on the 14-day Caribbean Enchantment cruise, departing from New York City and journeying through the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. Explore breathtaking destinations like St. Thomas, St. Lucia and Aruba before concluding your voyage in Miami.

Enjoy multiple days at sea to indulge in the ship’s world-class amenities, from gourmet dining and unlimited Starlink® WiFi to specialty coffees, fitness classes and even included laundry services.

Another appealing option for singles who prefer slightly smaller ships, Oceania Cruises’ Ancient World Wonders tour provides stops at some of the world’s most iconic locations, such as Santorini and Corfu. Adventures in Dubrovnik and Istanbul can also be expected. On board this remarkable vessel, you’ll gaze in awe at the Lalique Grand Staircase and, in general, enjoy a refined ambiance.

Be prepared to try new flavors and forms of expression as you explore unique offerings, such as the Artist Loft and Culinary Center. Deep relaxation awaits at the Aquamar Spa or within your luxuriously contemporary stateroom or suite. This ten-night voyage provides plenty of time to lose yourself in the grandeur of the ship and the treasures of Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Turkey.
