If you think a Patagonia sightseeing or expedition cruise is incompatible with solo travel, think again! Many cruisegoers are singletons, voyaging into one of the globe’s great wilderness zones and scenic wonderlands with the beautiful freedom and spontaneity that “me-time” vacationing affords. It’s a remarkable region where the solo traveler has an unparalleled opportunity to commune in magical, even meditative, focus with the mouth of a tidewater glacier, the lolling eye of a surfacing sea lion or elephant seal, the grand, lonely visage of Cape Horn or the icy crown of Mount Darwin.

And the wonderful thing about a cruise such as this is that you’ll find as much community as you desire during onboard travel and adventurous day outings, bonding with your fellow passengers as well as expedition staff and crew members amid the unifying splendor of Patagonian vistas and wildlife. From shipboard lectures to Zodiac outings, from convivial happy hours and dinners to unforgettable onshore hikes, bonding with others comes easy with the rhythm, tempo, and tone of a boutique ecotourism cruise to the spellbinding tip of South America.

Patagonia Solo Cruise FAQs

Do you offer single cabins?

Many of our curated voyages feature dedicated single cabins, or at a minimum, “solo-friendly” rates, to honor those independent explorers.

Can I share a cabin to save costs?

Yes, most partners offer “cabin-mate matching” services for guests who wish to share the privilege of Patagonian expedition cruising with a likeminded solo traveler of the same gender, thereby avoiding having to pay a single supplement.

Will I be the only solo traveler?

It’s highly unlikely as these expeditions attract many discerning, educated, solo adventurers who seek to share their pursuit of knowledge with others.

Are there social activities for singles?

While there aren’t typically “solo-only” activities, the intimate nature of expedition cruising means everyone participates in the same lectures, Zodiac excursions, shared meals, and land landings. This naturally fosters a close-nit community, making it a great option for single travelers.

What is the age range for solo travelers?

Our guests are typically intellectually engaged adults of all ages who share a reverence for nature and a desire for unbridled adventure.
