Published 9th of October 2025 | By Claire Benktander

Cruise Lines:

At Mundy Cruising we've always tried to understand more about the issues and concerns of our solo travellers, and we regularly campaign for lower or no single supplements with our cruise line partners. These are the best cruises with no single supplement.

Solo cruising is a wonderful way to travel, allowing you to meet like-minded people with the likes of group sightseeing tours and getting involved on board with activities like wine tasting, quizzes and much more. Here are five of the most interesting itineraries coming up in 2025 and 2026 on our top solo-friendly cruise lines, all with no single supplement to pay:

5 of the best cruises with no single supplement

1. Tauck River Cruises' 'No Single Supplement' Cabins

Tauck don't charge a single supplement for category 1 cabins on any of their European river cruises, and we we think the Heart of the Danube voyages departing in September and October 2026 look particularly appealing.

Explore the pretty Bavarian town of Passau and its narrow cobbled streets before heading east through Germany, Austria and Slovakia, with highlights including the imperial grandeur of Vienna; Bratislava, Slovakia's quaint little capital with its iconic hilltop castle; and vibrant and welcoming Budapest, home to the imposing Parliament and iconic St Stephen's Basilica, all explored with Tauck's excellent included tours to connect solo river cruisers with other like-minded travellers.

2. Ponant's 0% Solo Supplement Cruises

French cruise line Ponant has waived the single supplement on a number of cruises on board their stylish yachts, including an Adriatic voyage from Dubrovnik to Venice departing aboard in July 2026 on board Le Bougainville, and a lovely Iberian Peninsula voyage departing on 28 April 2026 from Malaga to Valletta also on board Le Bougainville.

With a relaxed, informal atmosphere on board perfect for carving out new friendships, highlights on the latter include Málaga with its intriguing, unfinished Gothic cathedral and Picasso museum; dazzling Valencia for historic architecture, cutting-edge design and an inviting stretch of beach; and Palma de Mallorca with its ruggedly beautiful interior and charming capital, ending in UNESCO World Heritage-listed Valletta.

3. Cunard's Solo Cruises

Cunard's Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth all offer spacious single staterooms for solo travellers, with opportunities to be as sociable as you wish, from coffee meetups and cocktail receptions to group activities. And, where better to experience it all than the lovely Mediterranean?

We think the Med should be on every cruiser's bucket list, and the one-week 7 September 2026 departure from Barcelona is a great option for solo travellers, with highlights on this sailing including picturesque Salerno and the glamorous island of Corsica, ending in one of the world's great cities, Rome.

4. Sail Solo with Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises' standard solo supplement of 75% may not be very enticing for solo guests but of late they've introduced more and more reduced supplement sailings, including some at 0%, such as a Reykjavik to Southampton 14-night voyage exploring all of Iceland's gems on 17 July 2026 on Seven Seas Mariner.

Alternatively, the 12-night Paris to Barcelona sailing on Navigator on 12 August 2026 includes a once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse. Once on board you'll enjoy superb food, friendly and welcoming service and a superbly comfortable ship. A choice of complimentary shore excursions in every port makes it easy to enjoy busy days ashore and meet your fellow travellers.

5. AmaWaterways' Solo River Cruises

While not strictly a 0% solo supplement, we couldn't not mention AmaWaterways, who have a whole host of options offering just a 10% solo supplement, where you can experience fine dining on board as well as a daily Sip & Sail cocktail hour to chat to your fellow guests, alongside small group excursions and a highly attentive crew.

With a waived single supplement on select ships in Europe with specially-designed single occupancy staterooms with French balconies, this is a great opportunity for solo travellers to experience one of the best river cruise lines in the business. 10% solo supplement options depart in February, March and December 2026 and include the fairytale villages of the Rhine, the gastronomic delights of Paris and Normandy, and Holland's spring time tulips.
