About This Video

In this video, I break down the top 10 fears my solo-cruising followers told me they worry about most—and exactly how to turn each one into a confidence-building win. We talk about the big emotional ones (like dining alone, feeling awkward at events, or missing shared moments) and the practical ones (safety, logistics, and how to plan so you don’t feel stuck). My goal is to help you cruise solo in a way that still feels meaningful, healthy, and truly luxurious—without overcomplicating it. I also share which cruise lines came up again and again as the most solo-friendly for 2025. For river cruising, my audience pointed to AmaWaterways, Tauck, and Uniworld. For ocean cruising, the standouts were Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, and Virgin Voyages. And for expedition cruising, Atlas Ocean Voyages was mentioned the most, with some nods to Explora. Then I walk you through how to find solo deals, book smart, pack light, and build community onboard—so you can enjoy the freedom of traveling solo without feeling alone.
