Best boats for solo travellers

Our top recommendations for single travellers 

Whether you’re travelling solo or in a couple, the Kimberley coast is for you! Over the past 26 years, we’ve found the perfect cruise option for solo travellers. Some are happy to ‘share with a stranger’ to avoid a single supplement, which some boats offer. Meanwhile, if you’d prefer to have your own cabin there are a few good options for that, too.

Paspaley Pearl by Ponant: No single supplement

Enjoy travelling with a small group aboard Paspaley Pearl and the best news is, there’s no single supplement for the Ocean Twin Staterooms! These are beautiful, big cabins. Click here for prices and itineraries.

Lady M: No single supplement

The forward cabin in the Lady M is set aside on each trip for single travellers and the best news is – there’s no single supplement. Below is a photo of the forward cabin. Yes, the toilet is in a strange spot, but we’ve never received bad feedback from anyone after cruising aboard Lady M (in fact, it’s always the opposite). Here’s a testimonial from a single traveller:

This trip has been one of the best I have done. The boat, the crew everything about it has been fantastic. Great experience.

There are 6x twin share cabins (shaded in grey in the picture above) and one solo cabin, which is at the front of the boat.

Eco Abrolhos is a 35m catamaran, accommodating 32 guests. The vessel has 4 custom tenders, with steps for beach landings.

Must do – No better way to see the Kimberley. The crew were amazing, had all the facts, they made the experience extra special.
