Everyone needs a vacation from real life and from work.  Most people assume that they need to sail away with a group of people, but you can take a cruise alone as well.  This can be a wonderful opportunity for you to relax, contemplate life, write, read, and detach from the world.  There is nothing else that can give you quite the same feeling as sailing away on a boat.  If you start to feel lonely, you can always meet some new friends once you get onboard.  

If you think that taking a cruise on your own is out of the realm of possibility, then you will be happy to know that you are wrong.  It may take a little more money to sail away on your own, but this cost of approximately an additional 25-percent may be well worth it to get away from it all.  

If you don’t mind sharing your cabin, then your cruise line will try to find you a roommate to share the room and the cost with.  They find you a same sex roommate and they take your preferences like smoker or not, etc. into account.  If they are not able to find you a roommate that you will be happy with, then you can pay the extra charge and have the room all to yourself.  It is entirely up to you.   

If you would rather pay the extra cost than share your room with someone, then you may want to check into the luxury cruise lines.  They will charge you less for using a double cabin and you may even find that you get some more luxurious features at the same or comparable price.  The key is to research different cruise lines and their offerings to find the right price and amenities for you.   

You can wait until the last minute before sailing and try to get a cabin onboard the ship.  This can save you money, but you are not assured of getting a cabin.  If you are willing to take the chance, then this might be an option that you will want to consider.   

When you board the ship, you can find many different things to do.  Staying in your cabin is not necessary if you are alone.  Join in the activities and meet some people.  You will be amazed at the people who are traveling alone that you can hang out with and have fun with.   

If you are looking to make friends, then don’t miss dinner.  It is a great place for you to meet other people on the cruise.  Most cruise lines try to place people of the same age, etc. together, so this could be an opportunity for you to find someone that you have something in common with.  If you don’t like the people that you are seated with, then you can ask to be moved.  There are hundreds of passengers on board the ship, so you will surely find someone that you can talk to.   

Taking a sailing vacation can give you that relaxing break that you need and want.  You will have time to spend thinking, having fun, and seeing new places.  What could be better than that?
