Discover Awe-Inspiring Fjords on a Norway Cruise

Natural wonders and once-in-a-lifetime thrills await on a Norway cruise. From the towering mountains of Bergen to the dramatic waterfalls of Alesund, Norway is full of breathtaking surprises. Embark on one our Norwegian fjords cruises and marvel at the spectacular landscapes, verdant mountains, and gushing waterfalls that surround you. Watch as eagles soar in the blue skies above and whales and seals play in the deep waters.

Beyond the majestic fjords, Norway’s cities and villages provide bucket-list opportunities for history buffs, foodies, and adventure seekers. Soak up the magic of picturesque cities like Oslo. Photograph the colorful fishermen’s houses dotting the coast of Alesund. Sip local craft beer in Bergen. Climb the soaring heights of Pulpit Rock for one of the best views in the country.

With Celebrity, sail beyond the beaten path in Norway on a seven-night Norwegian fjords cruise, or embark on one of our European cruises that stops in Oslo. On board, experience total relaxation in your stylish suite or stateroom. Enjoy world-class dining and entertainment as you discover Norway in all its glory

Norway Cruise Highlights

Norwegian fjords.

Nature buffs and adventure seekers can’t miss seeing the stunning Norwegian fjords during their cruise. Bergen is a great jumping-off point to see fjords like Hardangerfjord, the country’s second-largest fjord. UNESCO World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord is known as the “crown jewel” of the country’s fjords, contrasting steep waterfalls with snow-peaked mountain caps. Go slightly off-the-beaten path to neighboring Hjørundfjord, where activities like fjord fishing and kayaking will captivate you.

Art & History

Explore Oslo’s famous Viking Ship Museum and see three expertly preserved vessels. Spend a while at the Munch Museum, dedicated to the painter Edvard Munch, known best for his painting “The Scream.” In Bergen, Bryggens Museum is a mighty testament to life in the town before a devastating fire in 1955, where excavations uncovered beautiful reminders of everyday Norwegian life. Bergen is also home to its own art museum that uniquely preserves the homes of famous composers throughout history. Time travel at Sunnmøre Museum in Alesund, an open-air exhibit featuring preserved homes and boats dating back to medieval times.

Craft Breweries

Norway’s distilleries and craft microbrewing scene is rapidly growing in cities like Bergen and Alesund. After decades of mostly serving lagers, microbrewers around the country wanted to offer more variety for beer drinkers, so they started to brew their own IPAs, pale ales, and stouts. Ever since, Norway’s cities have brewed hundreds of their own unique drafts. Unwind after a day’s hike and try something new on the menu.

Featured Ports

Bergen, norway.

Rows of deep red, burnt orange, and white houses near Bryggen Wharf is one of the top sights in the city. Enjoy a romantic wharfside meal or a cozy coffee there before you visit Bryggens Museum or St. Mary’s Church. Ride a funicular rail to the summit of Mt. Fløyen for incredible panoramic views of the city below. Explore the surrounding fjords on an unforgettable kayaking or hiking adventure.

Alesund, Norway

On a Norway cruise, you’ll visit the picturesque town of Alesund, frequently cited as one of the country’s most beautiful places to visit. Spend a leisurely day exploring the Art Nouveau District. Hike up nearly 500 steps to Aksla Viewpoint and admire the stunning vistas of the archipelago and breathtaking fjords beyond. The town is also the gateway to Geirangerfjord, one of Norway’s most famous natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled between imposing cliffs on all sides.

Oslo, Norway

Let Oslo’s metropolitan atmosphere energize you as you explore its opulent palaces and incredible museums. The capital of Norway is teeming with Viking history, from ships dating back to the 9th century at the Viking Museum to 17th-century art at the National Museum. Art lovers won’t want to miss seeing Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” in person. When you move on from historic wonders, grab a craft beer or sample local salmon at any of Oslo’s trendy eateries.

Norway Cruise Itineraries

Embark on an unforgettable cruise to Norway aboard Celebrity Silhouette or Celebrity Reflection. Sailing from May to August, our Norwegian fjord cruises last anywhere from seven nights to nine nights. Longer itineraries give you the chance to see towns like the mountainous Flam or the remote Geiranger. On a Northern Europe cruise, you’ll overnight in Oslo on the way to cities like Copenhagen, Bruges, and Paris, or visit the capital before venturing to Sweden and Finland.

When is the best time to visit the Norwegian Fjords?

The best time to take a cruise holiday to the Norwegian Fjords depends on the region you want to explore and the specific experiences you’re seeking.

The ideal time to visit the Norwegian fjords is typically during the summer months, from late May to early September. This period offers the most favourable weather conditions for exploring these breathtaking natural wonders.

During summer, the days are long with extended daylight hours, and the fjords are framed by lush green landscapes and vibrant wildflowers. It’s an ideal time for activities such as hiking, kayaking, and cruising through the fjords to appreciate their stunning beauty. Moreover, the weather is relatively mild, making it more comfortable for outdoor excursions.

It’s also essential to consider factors like local holidays, festivals and peak tourist seasons. It’s always a good idea to consult with one of our cruise agents who will give you the best advice!

Bergen - oslo, dates: 7/6/2024 to  7/13/2024.

Guest Speaker

This is where nature has shaped its most majestic masterpieces… Majestic fjords bordered by monumental cliffs cutting into the coastline of the North Sea, legendary lands featuring fascinating fauna, vertiginous waterfalls tumbling from immense rock walls. Norway will open its doors to you for a unique 8-day journey from Bergen to Oslo, through these ancestral lands, home to myths, conquest and geological wonders.

The seven mountains overlooking the old town and the Hanseatic wharf, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Norway’s former capital (in the 12th and 13th centuries) grow distant. You will head out to sea, sailing south for the charming city of Alesund. Fall in love with the Art Nouveau architecture of this historic city, which is surrounded by a ring of rocky islets, enchanting fjord inlets and majestic mountains. It lies anchored opposite Giske, the home island of Rollo, the great Viking chieftain renowned for his many Nordic expeditions to Normandy.

The fjords region , the highlight of your odyssey, is approaching. Beneath a misty sky, you will see the imposing dark rock walls of these natural wonders, whose calm waters were explored by Viking drakkars almost ten centuries ago. These geological treasures will immerse you in a universe that is as inhospitable as it is captivating. Hellesylt and its impressive cliffs with their vertiginous waterfalls; Olden and its closeness to the Jostedalsbreen National Park, which is home to the Briksdal Glacier , one of the last ice caps  in Europe; Lysefjorden and its mythical Preikestolen , a majestic pulpit-shaped cliff: these all offer a unique, stunning and unforgettable experience.   

You will now set sail south for the historic and wild southern tip of Norway. In Stavanger, plunge into the fantastic universe of the legendary and emblematic Vikings, who were explorers and traders but also pirates. Here, an immersion into the Iron Age awaits; you will discover the ancestral traditions of these larger-than-life characters as you visit a reconstructed traditional village or emblematic sites. Then, in Arendal , once known as the Venice of the North because of its many canals, you may take the time to contemplate this intact and preserved immense space, composed of conifer forests and long pebble beaches ; these bear testimony to the retreat of a huge glacier, around 12,000 years ago, which left an enormous amount of rock behind.

For its grand finale, your enchanting journey will end in Oslo , the Norwegian capital, a city buzzing with singular energy.

View all excursions

Giske & Godoy islands

Giske & Godoy islands

From the pier, you will start the tour with a short panoramic city tour through the Art Nouveau district of Alesund. The city's architectural character is in fact the result of a catastrophe - the great fire in 1904 and those young architects who participated in the rebuilding of the city were inspired by the Art Nouveau style.

Then you will drive up to Mount Aksla from where you have a beautiful view of the city, the islands and the Sunnmore Mountains.

Leaving the city you will drive through some of the world's largest undersea tunnels connecting the islands with the mainland. Today the approximately 6,300 inhabitants have a 'ferry-free connection' with the rest of Norway. To reach the islands you must traverse bridges and undersea tunnels, the longest being 2.5 miles. Reach Giske Island , which had a unique position during the Viking period.

The famous Gange - Rolv, or Rollo, was born on Giske. This great warrior conquered Normandie in 911 and became the ancestor of William the Conqueror, sire to the English Royal Family. The old marble church at Giske was built as a family chapel for one of most powerful families. The church is built in the Norman style and is a typical product of the architecture prior to 1200. In 1756 the church was restored. The local artist Jacob S. Giskegaard created the new interior including a new pulpit, and a new alter piece.

Continue your visit proceeding to Godoy Island and Alnes village located on the seaside. You will see a typical fishing village with a well-preserved and picturesque architecture. Its main attraction is its lighthouse . You will get the opportunity to climb up its stairs (87 steps) to enjoy a beautiful look-out to the Atlantic Ocean and the surroundings islands.

After this visit, you will return to your ship.  

  • For this excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes. Appropriate dress is recommended to enter religious sites (shoulders and knees must be covered). Please note the church may be visited from exterior only due to ecumenical services.

Total : €130

City walk & Art Nouveau museum

City walk & Art Nouveau museum

Ålesund, the largest town on the northwest coast of Norway, has a spectacular setting: stretching over three islands, near the ocean and backdropped by impressive mountain-peaks. The town centre was destroyed by a fire in 1904, but rebuilt shortly after in the characteristic Art Nouveau architectural style of the period. Today Ålesund has a population of approximately 40,000, but the town centre is relatively small and easy to cover on foot.

From the pier, you will start on foot with a visit to the Art Nouveau museum , located in the old pharmacy building. The museum provides interesting insight into the fire of 1904 and the creative Art Nouveau period.

After your visit, you will continue your walking tour. Your guide will put particular emphasis on presenting the importance of fisheries in Norway's biggest fish export harbour and, of course, you will be shown a multitude of examples of the picturesque Art Nouveau style that has made Ålesund famous.

The tour will continue uphill to the quaint little park at the foot of mount Aksla . Here, you will find exotic trees and plants as well as a memorial stone dedicated to the German emperor Wilhelm II, for whom the main street in town is named after. Furthermore, you will see the statue of the Viking "Gange-Rolf" who sailed from Ålesund to what is today Normandy (France), named after the Norwegian settlers. From the park, you could choose to continue to ascend mount Aksla, where your will be rewarded for your efforts with a spectacular view . Or you could wander about in the park or just sit and have a rest before the return to the pier and your ship.

Geirangerfjord cruise

Geirangerfjord cruise

On the scenic cruise from Hellesylt, you will discover the scenery of Geirangerfjord, which has attracted travellers for over a century, and for good reason. The fjord is like a blue ribbon carved into a mountainous landscape, providing visitors with access to a remote corner of Norway. Geirangerfjord has been added to the UNESCO’s World Heritage List due to the breathtaking scenery and has been described as “the world’s most beautiful fjord”.

Take this opportunity to get closer to the fjord by leisurely gliding through the dramatic landscape and feel the presence of the towering mountains surrounding you. As you cruise through Geirangerfjord, a guide will tell you stories about the people who defy the up to 1500-metre tall mountains to make a living on the steep mountainsides and the small farmsteads clinging to its rocky ledges.

The tour will pass at the Seven Sisters Waterfall, where water pummels from a 300-metre steep cliffside down to the fjord below, before returning you safely back to the pier.

Briksdal Glacier

Briksdal Glacier

Briksdal glacier is a part of the Jostedal glacier ice field, which is the largest glacier on the European mainland. The wild glacier is a fantastic work of Nature. Its slope plunges from a height of 3,937 feet (1,200 m) down to the lush, narrow Briksdal Valley. Briksdalsbreen Glacier lies at the end of enchanting Oldedalen valley.

Board your motor coach and start the tour. The trip through Oldedalen valley to Briksdal glacier is an amazing symphony of scenic splendours. From wild flowers to awe-inspiring mountains that are reflected in crystal clear lake waters, to great waterfalls that cascade from vertical mountainsides.

Your motor coach will stop at the mountain lodge, and from the lodge it is about 1.8 mile (3 km), a 45-minute walk on a gravel road up to the glacier . During your walk, enjoy the view onto the gigantic glacier.

If you don't want to walk that far, another option is to be driven by cars (7 seats in each) from the lodge, up to a parking lot which is a 10-minute walk from the glacier. Please note that you pay directly on the site for the transfer by vehicle. We will not be able to pre-book this service and unfortunately during the high season, vehicles are not always running.

Using the same way to get back to the lodge, you will have some more opportunities to take pictures walking down the path. At the lodge, enjoy a snack including tea, coffee and pastries, and some time at leisure in the well-stocked souvenir shop which will make your trip to Briksdal memorable.

  • This moderate excursion involves 1 h 30 of walking (3,1 miles) on uneven and sometimes slippery terrain and gravel paths. We recommend you to wear comfortable good walking shoes, sunhat and sunglasses, a warm jacket and a waterproof layer.

From fjord to sky

From fjord to sky

From the pier, drive to Stryn Lake. What makes Lovatnet so beautiful is the green color that comes from the melt water from the glaciers that lies on the mountain peaks around. The lake has an area of 10.4 square kilometers, and is 52 meters above sea level. Lovatnet has multiple streams from the Jostedals glacier and drains at Loelva to the fjord.

After a photostop, continue to Loen. Leaving the buses, board the new cable car (inaugurated 2017) taking you up to mount Hoven, 1011 metres above the sea – around 200 metres above the tree line in this part of Norway.

Before your return to the ship, you will have the option of strolling through Old Stavanger and the charming, picturesque and well preserved wooden houses in narrow lanes, which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The houses were originally built for seamen, craftsmen and businessmen. Old Stavanger is today considered unique and its rehabilitation and conservation is the city's most important project.

  • This tour involves walking on muddy paths and some inclines at the Iron Age Farm. We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes. Should you choose to visit Old Stavanger at the end of the tour, you will return to your ship independently.

Panoramic Gothenburg & canal cruise

Panoramic Gothenburg & canal cruise

From the pier, start your tour with a drive up to the Masthuggs Church , where you have a magnificent view of Gothenburg and the port.

In the heart of the city, you will pass Götaplatsen , with the famous Poseidon Fountain by Carl Milles. The Museum of Fine Arts, the Concert Hall and the Municipal Theatre are also located at Götaplatsen.

Drive along Avenyn , the main street and the Grand Boulevard of Gothenburg, with a great number of nice restaurants, bars and shops. At Gustav Adolf's Square , you will see the City Hall, the Court House and the Stock Exchange.

At Kungsbroplatsen, you will leave your coach and board the sightseeing boat , Paddan (“the Toad”), for a sight so typical for Gothenburg. The classic city tour on the Paddan boats shows off the beauty of Gothenburg from a waterside perspective. You will step aboard in the centre of the city and see the old moat and the canals that date from the 17th century, while learning about the history of the city's construction and defence. You will continue beneath the many low bridges, including the extremely low Osthyveln (“cheese slicer”) bridge, which brings you out into the fascinating harbour where the sights include traditional shipyards, the fishing harbour, new and old housing, expanding commercial and academic sites, and the maritime museum. 

  • This tour involves 0.5 mile (800 m) of walking on flat, uneven and cobblestones. We recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes. Due to the boat ride, this tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. This tour needs a minimum of 25 participants to be operated.

Seal safari by RIB boat

Seal safari by RIB boat

From the pier, meet your guide and reach the RIB boat. After a brief information and putting on the safety gear, take a seat in the RIB boat and start your adventure.

The tour begins with a ride though the harbour where you will see and hear about the harbour sceneries and activities. At Alvsborg Fortress, accelerate speed and navigate to one of the seal colonies in the area close to Vinga lighthouse. The seal colony consists of 20 to 40 animals. Seals hunt and are active in the dark hours so you will most probably be seeing them resting on the rocks during the daytime.

After the visit to the seals colony, turn south of Branno and Kanso with nice views of the picturesque archipelago. Pass Langedrag, the sailing metropol on the return ride to the pier.

  • Participants must wear warm wind-proof clothes and flat sneaker shoes. This tour can be cancelled on short notice by the RIB guide if the weather turns bad. This tour is not suitable for passengers with back problems or with limited physical abilities. This is a high activity tour that at times can be strenuous and the RIB boat can reach high speeds. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. This tour is limited to 10 participants.

The Swedish west coast

The Swedish west coast

On this excursion, you will discover the Swedish West Coast , now one of Sweden's most popular vacation areas, with its many charming little coastal villages.

You will meet your guide on the quay and leave Gothenburg for a short trip North.

You will pass through the historic little town of Kungälv , with its impressive ruins, including Bohus Fortress , which dates back to the 14th century. You will continue through the town of Stenungsund , which, along with the islands Tjörn and Orust , are collectively called the "Best Coast". Those two large islands surrounded by many smaller islands, to the west of a forested mainland create an incomparable natural combination! The islands are connected through impressive bridges, the longest being the Tjörn Bridge, which streches across the Askerö Fjord. Here, a photo stop will be made.

Then, you will drive across the bridge and continue through the magnificent Tjörn landscape towards the old fishing village of Klädesholmen , where, in the 19th century, the foundations for a fish processing industry were formed. After a guided walk of this charming fishing village, you will continue on to the main village of Skärhamn , a vibrant and important shipping center, where, as they say that "the sea lies just outside the window". In this small village of Skärhamn, the shipping industry employs over 2,000 people. Enjoy some free time to stroll around the village, or discover the Nordic Watercolor Museum.

After exploring the west coast, you will return to your ship in Gothenburg.

  • This tour involves approximately 1.6 km of walking on flat and sometimes paved surfaces. It is recommended you wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Lunch at the hotel.

After lunch, the excursion will continue by coach.

You will make your way through Norway’s sheer natural beauty to the Hardanger Juice and Cider Factory, located in the innermost part of the Hardanger Fjord at the Lekve fruit farm in Ulvik. Here you will have a guided tour of everything the farm offers. They make apple juice and cider, which has played an important role in the farm’s production since 2004. In 2009, it also began producing apple brandy. Hardanger Cider, the fairy-tale drink, is also on the menu and is still being made according to the old recipe, just using modern tools. You will get a chance to taste the produce as part of your visit.

Afterwards, you will return to the hotel for dinner.

Day 3 – Voss/Flåm/Bergen

Breakfast at the hotel and check-out.

You will leave the hotel in the morning by coach for a second day of exploration.

On leaving the Voss area, you will travel across several landscapes to reach Flåm.

Flåm is 2 meters above sea level, situated in the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord, and is 90 sea miles away from the North Sea. You will have some leisure time in this quiet village, before lunch in a local restaurant.

After lunch, your journey continues with the famous Flåm railway. The Flåm railway is one of the most interesting pieces of engineering in Norway. Only 20 kilometres long, it runs from sea-level Flåm station up to Myrdal with an altitude of 867 metres. Enjoy the unique and impressive views up the steep valley between towering mountains and the Kjosfossen waterfall where the water cascades between dark cliffs and the splendid panoramic views that unfold before your eyes.

Upon arrival at Myrdal station, situated on a ridge above the Flåm valley, you will change trains for a scenic trip down the Bergen Railway taking you through the beautiful West Norwegian countryside. You will pass through the Graqvhalstunnel and the picturesque Raundal Valley before reaching the beautiful Vangs Lake at Voss. You will continue on along the Voss River, well-known for its salmon fishing, and down to the Bolstadfjord to the industrial centre of Dale, followed by the narrow Sørfjord, finally arriving in Bergen.

You will be transferred to the Opus XVI Hotel 4* for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 4 – Bergen

Breakfast at the hotel and leisure time, followed by check-out.

In Bergen, which was founded in 1070 AD, you will start your guided tour of the city with a local guide at the fish market where you will enjoy lunch, and see the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen, the picturesque wharf that helped put Bergen at the centre of the Hanseatic League. Explore King Haakon’s Hall, which was built between 1247 and 1261 as a royal residence and feasting hall.

The tour will end at the pier for embarkation.

Your hotels:

Amerikalinjen 4*, Oslo

This is where the journey began for thousands of hopeful Norwegians, who set off for the land of opportunity with Amerikalinjen (Norwegian America Line). The headquarters of the company opened in 1919 and the iconic building was reborn 100 years later as a vibrant boutique hotel, designed for the modern explorer.

Fleischer’s Hotel 4*, Voss

In the mountains of Western Norway, in the centre of the Voss, you will find a modern hotel, with many traditions, which was built in 1889 in the popular Swiss style. Fleischer's Hotel is known for its venerable atmosphere, grand dining room and attentive host. The hotel has been serving tourists in Western Norway for more than 150 years and has thus helped build Voss as a tourist destination. It is also environmentally committed and obtained the Eco-Lighthouse Ecolabel for the first time in 2013. Its owners are passionate about sustainability and they work systematically to limit their environmental footprint.

Opus XVI Hotel 4*, Bergen

The family name of the owners, Grieg, will surely ring a bell. They are relatives of the very famous composer and pianist Edvard Grieg, who was born and died in Bergen, in 1907. The hotel has unique architecture, with the main hall and its airy appearance, solid granite walls and Ionic columns in polished marble. The building was designed by the architect Herman Schirmer and was later extended in two phases. Architect Schak Bull – who also designed the home of Edvard Grieg – was responsible for the last expansion in 1918. Wonderful beds, an excellent location and attentive service: here, you will enjoy a unique atmosphere, based on the rich heritage of Grieg and with the historic Vågsallmenningen 16 as a backdrop.

Plan Your Cruise With AAA

With many cruise lines now catering to the single crowd, going on a cruise as a single adult can be a great way to meet interesting people to make new friends, new connections and lifelong memories.

No matter what you envision from your dream singles cruise, you can find a ship and a series of destinations that will create unforgettable memories. There are a lot of options to explore, however and the sheer range of choices can quickly feel overwhelming. To help, we've highlighted several of the best cruises for singles. Keep reading to learn what, exactly, sets these expeditions apart.

1. Celebrity Millennium: Bali, Malaysia and Thailand

Many singles gravitate towards exciting adventures in exotic destinations such as Bali, Malaysia and Thailand, which hold appeal simply because they provide such distinct scenery and such powerful cultural experiences.

Not all singles are willing or prepared to navigate these destinations on their own, however and this is where the Celebrity Millennium comes into play: an upscale cruise removes the hassle of planning and, instead, encourages you to relax in style.

This particular Celebrity Millennium adventure spans nearly two weeks, incorporating a unique blend of serene island adventures, cosmopolitan exploration and meaningful temple visits. Onboard, globally inspired menus and resort-style lounges are to be expected, along with plenty of adults-only spaces that will appeal to singles.

2. Celebrity Apex: Norwegian Fjords

If Norway's iconic fjords are on your bucket list, you can't afford to miss this awe-inspiring Celebrity Apex trip . Departing from Southampton, the eight-night cruise meanders along the coast of Norway, hitting pleasant spots such as Geiranger or Kristiansand for spectacular scenery and outdoor adventures. Side trips are available and, with up to ten hours docked, there is plenty of time to explore at your own pace.

Accommodation options abound and, when traveling alone, the staterooms' king-size mattresses feel extra spacious. An adults-only solarium will appeal to relaxation-oriented solo travelers, while abundant dining and entertainment options make it easy to find and connect with new friends.

3. Celebrity Summit: Grand Heartland Adventure

If you're struggling to choose between glamorous onboard experiences and outdoorsy experiences on land, you're in luck: Celebrity Summit provides the best of both worlds with its various Cruisetour offerings. There are many excellent options that depart from Vancouver, Anchorage or Fairbanks — but the Grand Heartland Adventure is worth considering if you crave something new.

During the Grand Heartland Cruisetour, you'll explore the stunning Inside Passage by cruise ship, before docking in adventure-oriented destinations such as Juneau and Sitka. From there, you'll continue to observe national treasures such as the Hubbard Glacier. Further exploration takes place aboard a glass-domed railcar and even a riverboat.

There's also a lot to experience onboard. The AquaClass stateroom represents a true oasis for single travelers, but the exclusive cocktail lounge and martini bar also warrant a visit. With nearly two weeks of cruising and exploration, you'll have plenty of time to unwind on your own but can also form fast friendships with similarly adventurous travelers.

4. Celebrity Edge: Taste of Luxury

Cruises for singles over 50 often emphasize the finer things in life, like elevated cuisine or exquisite wines. These sophisticated details are in abundant supply aboard the Celebrity Edge, which offers a decidedly elegant experience with its Taste of Luxury tour. Although often frequented by retired couples, Celebrity Edge's trips work well as singles cruises.

Available for three or four nights, this remarkable journey begins in Sydney and primarily emphasizes curated on-board experiences. That being said, there are enticing opportunities to explore while docked in Tasmania. With such glamorous suites, restaurants and clubs on board, however, the best attractions can be enjoyed without ever leaving this luxury cruise ship.

5. Disney Wish: Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral

Don't assume that Disney cruise adventures are only for kids or families. If you are a proud Disney adult, you can make amazing memories aboard a thematic cruise for singles. This is a popular vacation among theme park enthusiasts, who enjoy a dose of Disney magic while also finding valuable opportunities to indulge and relax.

Disney Wish's three-night Bahamian cruise is also an excellent option for singles who crave a sea-based experience but only have a few days to spare. Yes, young travelers will be around, but there are plenty of adult-only spaces, including sports bars, dance clubs, dedicated pools and even an onboard spa and salon. Musicals, 3D films and fireworks encourage you to embrace your inner child.

6. Oceania Cruises: In the Path of Cartier — Boston to Montreal

As we've mentioned, smaller ships provide some of the best cruises for singles over 50. Not everyone desires a river-based trip, however and with Oceania Cruises , there is no need to choose between exclusivity and ocean liner grandeur.

A signature experience can be found aboard Oceania Cruises' iconic Nautica ship, which is calming, yet elegant. Echoing the journey of the famed explorer Jacques Cartier, this tour provides a powerful introduction to Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick.

The land-based excursions are highly educational and, of course, beautiful to behold, but there's also a lot to love on board. Belgian chocolate, Bulgari amenities and turndown service await, with many accommodations also providing spectacular views. Open-seating dining makes it easy to interact with other vacationers while wine-tasting and guest lectures promise plenty of onboard enrichment.

7. Oceania Riviera: Ancient World Wonders — Athens to Istanbul

Another appealing option for singles who prefer slightly smaller ships, Oceania Cruises' Ancient World Wonders tour provides stops at some of the world's most iconic locations, such as Santorini and Corfu. Adventures in Dubrovnik and Istanbul can also be expected. On board this remarkable vessel, you'll gaze in awe at the Lalique Grand Staircase and, in general, enjoy a refined ambiance.

Be prepared to try new flavors and forms of expression as you explore unique offerings such as the Artist Loft and Culinary Center. Deep relaxation awaits at the Aquamar Spa or within your luxuriously contemporary stateroom or suite. This ten-night voyage provides plenty of time to lose yourself in the grandeur of the ship and the treasures of Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and Turkey.
