Luxury cruising in 2024 sounds amazing! Can't wait to explore those unique adventures.

Back-to-back cruising is genius! 21 nights on Celebrity Edge sounds like a dream.

Solo travel on cruises is such a game-changer. Meeting new people is the best part!

I only just saw the video and wanted to commend Mark on his choice of cruises down under. I took the same series of solo back to backs starting on March 24 and finishing on April 14. The Edge was awesome!

Longer sailings for international flights make so much sense. Great tips for savvy cruisers!

I certainly see more interest in solo cruising and its not just singles that find the option to be desirable. Maybe people, like the introvert I am, do not cruise to meet people but rather to enjoy the experience on my own at my own pace. If I can recommend anything to solo cruisers it is to not look at price but rather look at value. So many solo cruisers immediately book solo cabins not realizing that the full size cabins are often less expensive even with the solo supplement. Secondly, there is no one or best cruise line for solo cruisers. Each line and ship, provides its own experience. So think about what type of cruise experience you are looking for, and then find a line that can offer that.
