Traveling solo doesn’t mean going it alone—especially when you’re sailing with Silversea Cruises. For discerning solo travelers, Silversea offers something truly rare. This ultra-luxury cruise experience feels both private and personal. It satisfies the craving for space, culture, and connection without the crowds.

At Scott & Thomas, we’re seeing more and more clients choosing to travel solo—and choosing to do it in style. Are you celebrating a milestone, checking off a dream destination, or simply carving out time for yourself? Here’s why Silversea solo cruises are one of our top recommendations.

A Boutique Experience That Feels Personal

One of the biggest perks of sailing solo with Silversea is the ship itself. With a fleet of small ships—most carrying fewer than 600 guests—you’ll never feel lost in the crowd. You’ll get to know your fellow travelers, the staff, and even the officers. This is all possible in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Share a table with new friends at La Terrazza or enjoy a quiet dinner for one at La Dame. Silversea ensures solo travel feels both intimate and elevated.

Luxury, Simplified

Silversea’s signature is its all-inclusive luxury—and for solo travelers, that simplicity matters.

Included in every Silversea voyage:

  • A spacious oceanview suite with your own private balcony
  • Butler service
  • Gourmet dining across multiple venues
  • Fine wines, premium spirits, and all-day champagne
  • Shore excursions in every port
  • Wi-Fi, gratuities, and all onboard service

No extra planning. No awkward tipping moments. Just space to relax and travel exactly how you want to.

Thoughtful Solo Rates & Special Offers

Historically, solo travelers have paid a hefty premium on cruise fares—but Silversea is changing that. Many itineraries feature reduced or waived single supplements, making solo luxury cruising more accessible than ever. At Scott & Thomas, we stay on top of these offers and can help you navigate itineraries with the best value for solo guests. You get the same suite, same amenities, and same Silversea experience—without the extra cost.

Enriching Days at Sea

If you’re traveling solo, a well-paced itinerary is key. Silversea balances port days with enough time at sea to truly unwind. Onboard, you’ll find everything you need to make the most of your solo time:

  • Thought-provoking guest lecturers and cultural talks
  • A world-class spa and wellness center
  • Cooking demos and mixology classes through the S.A.L.T. program
  • Elegant lounges and bars where you can be social (or not)
  • A library, observation deck, and quiet corners to journal or read

Whether you’re introverted or extroverted, there’s a rhythm here that fits your travel style.

Shore Excursions Made Easy

Silversea includes complimentary excursions in every port. This means you never have to worry about joining a group or navigating logistics on your own. Tours are small, often led by local experts and historians, and there’s always an option to explore at your own pace.

If you want something extra-special, our team can customize excursions that match your interests, style, and comfort level. You could enjoy a private tour of a museum in Florence or a market visit with a local chef in Vietnam.

The Scott & Thomas Concierge Touch
