Sailing Solo on Virgin Voyages
Booking Your Solo VOyage
What I love about Virgin Voyages is it’s relaxed vibe and welcoming atmosphere, making it a fantastic option for individuals choosing to cruise solo. We are the Virgin Voyages Specialists and can guide you on everything from cabin selection, itinerary choices to shore excursions. Booking with Travels with Kyle will also gain you extra on board spend.
Exploring the world independently has never been more appealing, and there's no place quite like the open seas to embark on such an adventure. While the thought of cruising alone may seem daunting, it’s a path increasingly embraced by many. Notably, in 2025, Virgin Voyages was recognised by US News & World Report as one of the top cruise lines for solo travellers.
Solo Cabin Choices
Virgin Voyages Offers cabins specifically designed for Solo Travellers.
Solo Insider and Solo Sea View cabins are fantastic options for anyone thinking about cruising solo. These cabins feature a in room entertainment system, mood lighting, a roomy rain shower and more.
Virgin Voyages also runs promotions, including Sea Terrace Cabins for Solo occupancy that come without the usual solo supplement. Message us today for the latest Virgin Voyages Deals.

SOLO Events & Activites
Virgin Voyages has as friendly and inclusive vibe. If you are planning a Solo Virgin Voyage cruise or you have one already booked, there are a number of events and activities on board.
Don’t miss the Sail Away gathering on the first night. This is a great way to meet other independent sailors at the start of your voyage. You’ll find the exact details and timings for this event on the Virgin Voyages App Event Line Up.
The Virgin Voyages "Happenings Cast" is an entertainment team of onboard, featuring personalities dedicated to particular themes or topics, providing a range of genuine and diverse entertainment experiences. They want you to feel welcome and having a great time. The ‘‘Happenings Cast’’ will arrange dinners and meet ups throughout the Voyage.
The Grog Walk on Virgin Voyages is a fun ‘Bar Crawl’ and typically takes place on the first night.
It’s a fun onboard experience with a small group of sailors, a great way to meet others in a fun and interactive tasting journey featuring a selection of the ship's signature cocktails and other beverages.
Solo Dining
Virgin Voyages offers 21 Dining Places on board including 6 Speciality Dining Restaurants. Unlike other cruise lines, there is no ‘Main Dining Room’.
Dining Reservations for the 6 Speciality Restaurants are available to book 45 Days Before you sail.
If you attend the Sail Away Solo Gathering, the Happenings Cast will organise Solo Dinner Groups each night. This is a great way to meet other Solo Sailors and enjoy the Speciality Dining Virgin has to offer.
