Traveling solo isn’t lonely—it’s liberating.
On a cruise, you get the chance to explore the world while being completely taken care of, surrounded by new faces, stunning views, and no pressure to compromise. Above all, if you need an excuse to take the plunge into the solo deep-dive, you can think of travel as an investment in yourself.
Whether you want to visit new lands at your own pace, meet other people as you travel, or simply want some time by yourself in beautiful surroundings, cruising solo is a popular choice for many people.
And with the right cruise line, you don’t have to pay double to do it. MVT has listed top luxury and lifestyle cruise lines that offer reduce solo supplements or even none at all. What are you waiting for?

Why book with a travel advisor?
Here’s the thing—just because you can book a trip online, doesn’t mean you should
A travel advisor is your advocate, fixer, and calm-in-the-chaos, a real person who’s just a text or call away. MVT's advisors don’t just Google—they go. They’ve walked the cobblestones, tested the tours, stayed in the suites, and know when the shoulder season is actually worth it.
Pack Your Bags
& let an MVT advisor do the rest. Book your next trip with a travel advisor and you open the door to VIP amenities, onboard spend credits, insider-knowledge, and expert guidance.
