Best Cruise Lines for Single Baby Boomers

Many single baby boomers worry about traveling alone. They're concerned that they may end up being one of the very few single people on the entire cruise. Luckily, that's rarely the case  — cruise lines report that one of four travelers are going solo and their number is always increasing. In fact, cruises can be a near-ideal holiday type for single people as they take care of logistics and allow passengers plenty of time to socialize.

Oceania is an excellent option as the company has made a conscious effort to attract solo travelers. They've been adding a number of purpose-built single cabins at a reasonable price. Oceania offers longer destination cruises that last upwards of 10 days, with round-the-world cruises being up to 180 days long! Don't worry about the length of time – you'll never be bored on board. Oceania ships have a range of excellent dining options and occasionally they even offer chef-led cooking classes. These cruises also place a strong emphasis on wellness: fitness, spa, and healthy eating are all available for the health-conscious traveler.

This world-famous cruise line is known for its excellent on-shore excursions. It also offers a wide range of destinations, so first-time cruise passengers and seasoned travelers can all find a suitable itinerary. The land activities are also anything but boring — travelers can opt for horseback riding, hiking, or doing watersports at various locations. The ships themselves are also full of fun options, such as dance shows, pools, and even ice skating. Solo travelers who are looking to combine the comfort of cruise travel with the excitement of exploring the world will love the Royal Caribbean line. The company also offers senior discounts to travelers over 55, so it's quite popular among this age group.
