Norwegian's Official Travel Blog

Whether you're newly single or a seasoned veteran in singledom, sometimes the best holidays are the ones you take alone. Imagine having no pressure to do anything except for what you want to do. Eat, drink, explore museums, or nap on the beach. You’re completely open to mixing and mingling with other solo cruisers at singles meet-ups and bar crawls around the ship. You'll quickly find that singles cruises don't have to be any different than traveling with others—it’s all about your attitude and openness to breaking out of your comfort zone.

Spring is a great time to take a cruise, especially if you're looking at Norwegian Cruise Line destinations like the Bahamas, Bermuda and The Caribbean.
