Travel solo with Hurtigruten
Our voyages along Norway’s coast are perfect for solo travelers, whether for some me-time or to meet like-minded new friends.
No single supplement
We believe that a voyage along the Norwegian coast with us is one of the greatest joys in life – but we also know that single supplements can put many solo travelers off.
That’s why we have an always-on, no single supplement for selected sailings throughout the year.
This means solo travelers aren’t charged an extra price for these voyages, but can fully enjoy having a comfortable cabin all to themselves.
Sail Norway solo - not alone
Traveling solo on a Hurtigruten ship doesn't have to mean traveling alone. Your ship will have plenty of communal spaces and events where you can easily meet like-minded travelers.
Or, if you’ve chosen to travel solo because you want time by yourself, that’s easy too. Whether you're a seasoned solo traveler or contemplating your first solo adventure, a voyage with Hurtigruten lets you be as sociable as you choose.
Solo cruises with Hurtigruten
Treat yourself
Cruising solo means only having yourself to please – with a whole cabin to yourself. Where you eat, which excursions you join, when you go to bed. It’s all up to you.
Stay on deck all night and watch the Northern Lights. Skip lunch in favor of the hot tub. Bus tour instead of kayaking. Stay in your cabin with a book. Or crochet and chit-chat with locals in the bar all day. You are free to choose. This is your voyage.

Some of our sailings have a single supplement, but we also offer a single supplement waiver on selected sailings throughout the year.
