For people who love cruising

Cruise solo.
Never feel alone.

Love cruising but don't always have someone to go with?

Cruise Companions Club is a community where solo cruisers can meet like-minded people, find others interested in the same sailings, make cruise friends and turn "I'd love to go" into "I'm going."

Your own cabin. A shared cabin. Dinner companions. Excursion buddies. Future cruise friends. You choose how you cruise.

Companionship, not dating · Solo-first, not solo-only

Why do people cruise solo?

Solo doesn't mean single. It simply means you don't always have someone to cruise with — and that should never be the reason a cruise doesn't happen.

My partner doesn't cruise

You love cruising. They don't. That shouldn't stop you seeing the world by sea.

My friends can't come

Different budgets, schedules and travel interests shouldn't mean putting your cruise plans on hold.

I don't have a travel companion

Life changes. Sometimes the person you used to travel with is no longer able to join you.

I love travelling independently

You don't necessarily want someone beside you 24/7 — you'd just love some friendly faces onboard.

Whatever brought you here, you shouldn't have to miss an incredible cruise simply because you don't have someone to go with.

What is a cruise companion?

Cruise companionship — your way.

Joining CCC doesn't mean sharing a cabin with a stranger. Members decide who they connect with and what companionship means to them.

Own cabin. Shared experience.

Keep your independence and find people to meet for dinner, drinks, excursions or activities onboard.

Travel together.

Meet someone with similar cruise interests and plan a future sailing together.

Share a cabin.

If both members choose, get to know someone who may be interested in sharing a cabin and potentially reducing the cost of travelling solo.

Onboard friends.

Already booked? Find other CCC members interested in or travelling on the same sailing.

How it works

From "I'd love to go" to "I'm going."

Cruise community

You may arrive solo. You don't have to stay that way.

CCC is more than a way to find cruise companions. Members join conversations, share cruise tips, talk destinations, ask questions and build friendships with people who share their love of cruising — before, during and after the sailing.

Why we created Cruise Companions Club

Cruise Companions Club began with a problem we'd both seen firsthand.

Steve had been travelling solo for more than 10 years and had taken more than 30 cruises, including world cruises. Along the way, he met countless people who loved cruising but didn't always have someone to travel with.

I had heard the same thing throughout my years working in travel:

"I'd love to go on that cruise — but I don't have anyone to go with."

Sometimes a partner didn't enjoy cruising. Sometimes friends weren't available. Sometimes life circumstances had changed. And too often, an incredible cruise simply didn't happen.

Fittingly, Steve and I met while we were both travelling solo on an Azamara cruise.

That shared experience, Steve's years of solo cruising and my background in travel became the starting point for Cruise Companions Club.

We wanted to create the kind of community we'd seen people looking for — somewhere cruise lovers could meet others who understand their love of cruising and form genuine connections.

That might mean finding someone to meet for dinner onboard, a shore excursion companion, a friend on the same sailing, or someone you get to know well enough to plan a future cruise with.

You can arrive solo. You don't have to cruise alone.
