  • I stayed in a 100-square-foot studio during my six-day solo cruise aboard the Norwegian Getaway.
  • I was surrounded by fellow solo travelers and had no trouble meeting other people on the ship.

I booked a 100-square-foot studio aboard the Norwegian Getaway for my six-day solo trip.

Passengers traveling in NCL's studios don't have to worry about paying a single-traveler supplement.

All of the studios are in the same area, and guests need a key card to access this section of the ship.

I think the Getaway's studios are more stylish than its staterooms, though I do wish my cabin had exterior views.

My studio had various places where I could store my belongings.

I haven't seen any cruise line besides NCL build lounges exclusively for solo travelers. I loved it but wish the bar stayed open later.

Because NCL planned the entire itinerary, I didn't have to worry about any trip logistics.

The ship had so many onboard activities and offerings that I didn't even feel like I was traveling alone.

After this trip, I won't hesitate to sail alone with NCL and other cruise lines in the future.
