Are there any cruises for single seniors?

Absolutely! It’s a question we’re frequently asked, and you’ve come to the right place to learn more. Whether it’s your first time at sea, a first solo holiday, or even both, an escorted solo cruise holiday with One Traveller will have you sailing like a pro.

We offer a wide range of cruises for single seniors over 60 to lots of exciting locations. There’s a big wide world out there and our singles cruises introduce all the important sights by land and sea.

Smaller cruise ships that are big on service


Aboard Fred. Olsen’s elegant smaller vessels, our cruises are intimate and friendly - perfect for blending scenic exploration with time to relax in great company and enjoy unbeatable service.

Ever wanted to explore snowy landscapes and gaze up at the night sky in search of the Northern Lights in the Arctic circle? Or maybe leave the big coat and thermals at home in favour of sunnier climes around the volcanic landscapes of the Azores and Madeira.

Or venture down to the green landscapes of Spain, or celebrate the cuisines & cultures of French cities on our senior singles river cruises. These serve as perfect introductions to singles cruising for those over 60, while more familiar sights can be explored aboard our scenic coastline tours of the British Isles and our legends and landmarks of Ireland adventure tours.

Why choose a One Traveller cruise holiday in partnership with Fred. Olsen?

  • Travel with like-minded solo travellers (no couples in our party)
  • Dedicated One Traveller Tour Manager just for our group

Sole charter cruises for solo travellers


Looking for something a little off the beaten path?

Sole-chartered just for our solo sailors, our nimble little ships, each housing less than 20 cabins, explore little slices of paradise each day with a close-knit group. What’s more, these cruises are also part of our ONE Experience range, providing even better value and inclusivity.
