Solo Traveller Cruises
Traveling to Antarctica solo is far more common than many people realise. Every season we help solo travelers secure dedicated single cabins, shared cabins and Antarctica cruises with reduced or no single supplements.
Whether you're travelling independently, joining a group, or looking for the most affordable way to visit Antarctica, there are a number of expedition cruise options available.
Our dedicated Antarctica specialists can help you compare solo cabins, shared cabins, single supplements and special solo traveller offers across dozens of expedition ships.
Expedition cruise options for solo travelers to Antarctica
1. Book a dedicated single cabin
Some expedition ships offer cabins designed specifically for solo travelers. These are often in high demand and tend to sell out well in advance.
2. Book a private cabin and pay a single supplement
Many solo travellers choose to book a twin or double cabin for their sole use. In most cases, a single supplement applies.
*Some departures feature reduced or waived single supplements, giving solo travelers the opportunity to secure their own cabin at a significantly lower cost. These offers are limited and often sell out well in advance.
3. Share a cabin with another solo traveler
To avoid paying a single supplement, we can often pair you with another solo traveller of the same gender. Where possible, we also try to match guests by age and travel style. This is usually the most affordable way to visit Antarctica and often leads to lasting friendships.
The prices listed below are per person twin share unless otherwise stated. Contact us for current single cabin availability, solo traveller offers and departures with reduced or no single supplements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes! Each season, we have many solo travellers of all ages and genders travel with us to Antarctica. It's easy to make friends over afternoon tea or a casual cocktail in the ship's lounge, so most travellers who arrive alone quickly make friends. Some ships also reserve restaurant seating for solo travellers who would like to dine with others.
Usually, the best way to visit Antarctica on a budget, if you're alone, is to book a twin share cabin and let our experienced team pair you up with a roommate of the same gender. This way, you can both benefit from twin share pricing.
Most cruise operators base their cabin pricing on two people in one cabin, known as twin share. If a solo traveller occupies a twin share cabin, the single supplement is the surcharge applied to the cabin's pricing. We know solo travellers are keen to avoid supplements as much as possible, so give us a call and we can help you find the best ship for your budget.
The allure of Antarctica spans generations, and we often welcome solo travellers of any age aboard! Many solo travellers are in their 30s and up into their 70s, but no matter your age, you'll find it easy to meet likeminded people.
If you're flexible on dates, then yes, we can help you find the best solo option for your Antarctica cruise. However, dedicated solo cabins often sell out in advance, so last minute solo travellers may find more options available if they're happy to share a cabin with another traveller of the same gender.
