Why Solo Travelers Choose NCL

From no-supplement Studio cabins to a dedicated lounge, Norwegian makes solo sailing easy, social, and budget-friendly.

Studio cabins priced for one

NCL’s Studio staterooms are built for solo travelers—no single supplement and exclusive access to the Studio Lounge.

Built-in social lounge

The Studio Lounge makes mingling effortless with daily meetups, hosted happy hours, and a dedicated hangout just for solos.

Nightlife your way

From silent discos to club crawls, Norwegian’s after-dark lineup caters to every vibe—bring friends or make them onboard.

Solo Travel, Simplified

Norwegian’s Studio concept removes the guesswork for single travelers—your own cabin, exclusive lounge, and a calendar of informal meetups so connections happen naturally.

We’ll help you target the right ships and dates, then layer in shows, dining, and nightlife to match your style—whether you’re after chill sunsets or neon-fueled dance floors.
