How will you cruise?
Solo Cruises
Welcome to solo cruising, authentically.
In a world that often emphasises the importance of companionship and shared experiences, the idea of embarking on a solo cruise might seem unconventional to some. However, for those who have dared to venture out into the open seas alone, the experience can be nothing short of extraordinary. Solo cruising offers a unique blend of freedom, self-discovery, and boundless adventure that is unlike any other form of travel.
At The Authentic Cruise Company, we believe that travelling alone should not be a barrier to experience a luxury cruise. However, we know that many cruise lines do not often offer solo fares, forcing travellers to pay the full cost of a double stateroom. That’s why we have worked with our partners to create a selection of incredible solo cruise offers for our members, available on a selection of ocean, river, expedition and yacht-style cruises around the world.
Call and speak to a member of our team today for more details on +44 (0)1491 528 988 or email info@authenticcruises.co.uk.

Quark Expeditions
Quark Expeditions, the leader in polar adventures, offers single supplement options for solo travellers who prefer their own cabin accommodations. This allows solo travellers to have privacy and comfort while still participating in group activities and excursions. If solo travellers would like a more social experience and would prefer not to have their own room, Quark also offer shared cabin options, whereby solo passengers receive a discounted rate by opting to share a cabin with a fellow same-gender traveller. Some voyages even offer triple-sharing options for added flexibility. Please contact our team to learn on info@authenticcruises.co.uk more.
What to expect
Intimate Group Experience: With ships accommodating fewer than 200 guests, Quark Expeditions fosters an intimate and personalised atmosphere. Solo travellers can connect with like-minded individuals from around the world who share a passion for adventure and exploration in the polar regions.
Inclusive Dining Environment: Quark Expeditions creates an inclusive dining environment where solo travellers are seamlessly integrated into the group dynamic. Whether participating in shore excursions or onboard activities, the casual dining policy encourages social interaction. Large communal tables facilitate mingling among solo travellers and groups alike.
Rotating Inclusive Options: Included options provide solo passengers with the opportunity to mix and interact with different guests onboard each day. With daily changes to these groups, solo travellers can engage with multiple new people throughout the expedition.
Expert Expedition Team: Quark Expeditions boasts the best Expedition team-to-guest ratio in the industry, with one Expedition Leader for every six guests onboard. This ensures that travellers always have access to knowledgeable experts for guidance and conversation.
Flexibility and Freedom: Solo travellers enjoy the freedom to customise their expedition experience with the industry’s widest range of adventure options. From exploring on land to kayaking through icy waters, heli-hiking, camping, or immersing themselves in the local culture of Greenland for example, solo travellers can tailor their itinerary to match their interests and preferences.
Safety and Support: Safety is paramount at Quark Expeditions, and solo travellers can rest assured knowing they are in capable hands. The expedition team provides continuous support, guidance, and assistance throughout the journey, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all travellers.
