ClaireSmith49 Posted February 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I’ve been reading through this forum for a while and I’ve finally booked my first ever cruise on Iona in April, as they had some again it deals on. I’m travelling on my own and wondered what activities are available on Iona to do solo and is there anything you would recommend to try? Do they have a solo traveller meet-up?

Yes, they have an un-hosted meeting daily. They used to be hosted with tea/coffee but not now. A lot of people could turn turn up especially on Iona/Arvia.

Looking at the current Arvia Blog thread, they are having the solo meet-up at 9am every morning 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sarah1974 Posted February 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm toying with the idea of a solo cruise, not sure what's holding me back but think I'll go for it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardiff girl Posted February 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Claire, is there a roll call for your cruise? It's great to 'know' a few people before the cruise. On Azura there were loads of solos, with daily solo meet ups with tea and coffee every morning, though I didn't go on shore days. I teamed up with two ladies to share a taxi round La Palma. Am I allowed to mention groups on other platforms? Sarah, there are great solo offers at the moment with lots of first timers having a great time - go for it! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now done two solo cruises and many solo land holidays. I have another three cruises booked as a solo! I find travelling solo quite liberating as you have the freedom to do what you want when you want. Having said that though it's always nice, especially in the evening, to have a chat and drink with company. I think once you have done one solo cruise there will be no stopping you. Go for it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireSmith49 Posted February 21, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Thanks for the replies, I think I will go to the solo meet-ups as it will be nice to speak to fellow travellers 😀. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionboard Posted February 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Go for it! Best holiday for solos. Have done many and enjoyed most of them immensely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanseaboy Posted February 21, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2023 In my experience, the solo passengers and the gay passengers have the most fun onboard. I fall into both catagories (!) and have just come off 3 weeks on Iona. It was beyond fun - I didn't want to come home! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
