Solo Cabins & Studio Staterooms
Rooms built and priced for one traveler.
Get Free Solo Cruise QuotesThe biggest change in solo cruising this century is the purpose-built cabin for one. Several major lines now build them into their ships, and they are often the best-value way to sail alone.
Dedicated Solo Cabins by Line
| Line | Solo accommodation (per the line, late 2026) | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Norwegian Cruise Line | Solo and studio staterooms priced for one; studio guests on many ships get keycard access to a private Studio Lounge | Norwegian notes studio and lounge availability varies by ship; Pride of America has no Studio Lounge |
| Royal Caribbean | Studio staterooms on Quantum- and Oasis-class ships | Few per ship, so they sell early |
| Celebrity Cruises | Edge Single Staterooms with Infinite Veranda on Celebrity Edge, Apex, Beyond and Ascent; inside single staterooms on Celebrity Silhouette | The Edge-class singles have their own veranda-style window |
| Holland America Line | Solo ocean-view staterooms on Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam | Holland America says these carry no single supplement |
| Cunard | Single staterooms on Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria | Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne, has no single staterooms |
Lines add and change solo categories as ships are refitted, so treat this as a starting point. Our cruise advisors at Mister Cruise check what is available on your actual sailing.
What a Solo Cabin Is Like
Expect a compact room designed around one person: a bed wider than a single in many cases, a private bathroom, storage and a television. Some are inside rooms with no window; others have an ocean view or a balcony-style window. The trade-off is space. If you travel with a lot of luggage, work in your cabin or simply like room to spread out, a standard cabin with a supplement may be worth the extra.
Location matters too. Solo cabins are sometimes grouped together in one part of the ship, which can mean a longer walk to the dining room or theater. Study the deck plan before you choose — our sister site Cruise Ship Deck Plans explains how to read one.
Before You Book a Solo Cabin
- Check the square footage and the bed size, not just the category name.
- Ask whether the cabin has a window, a virtual view or no view at all.
- Look at what is above and below it on the deck plan — a nightclub or galley can mean noise.
- Confirm whether any solo lounge or solo perks come with the category on your ship.
- Compare the price with a standard inside cabin plus supplement; occasionally the standard room wins.
Book Early — They Are Few
Most ships carry only a small number of solo cabins compared with thousands of standard berths, and experienced solo cruisers know it. On popular itineraries they can be gone months before sailing. If you have your heart set on one, decide on a ship early and ask an advisor to hold the cabin while you finalize dates. If they are sold out, see paying less as a solo for other routes to a fair price.
