Single travellersme too, solo cruising is a great way to see lots of destinations. Although I also solo travel on land as well. On a recent trip to Hawaii and Alaska I made friends with quite a few female solo travellers.ViewDate:

Advice for a first time cruiserI love cruising, and you are never too old to start either. My sisters and I took our grandmother for the first time for her 99th birthday, she loved it so much we took her again for her 100th. We even got her into the Jacuzzi, her face was a picture, such memories. This year I went to Alaska on my own, it is what you make it. You can do as much as you want or as little. I thoroughly enjoy cruising but understand it is not to everyone's taste. If you want any specific questions answered give me a shout. Happy sailingViewDate:

What are your favourite travel destinations and why?I've been to quite a few places over the years and solo more recently. I love Italy and Slovenia; Malta also a favourite (been about 14 times now). Egypt was amazing went from Luxor down to Aswan and then onto Abu Simbel and also into Tut's tomb. The Atlas mountains in Morocco :). Turkey is amazing, did a tour starting in Istanbul and ending up in Antalya, stopping at Gallipoli, Troy, Ephesus, Pamukkale, brilliant. In May I went to Hawaii, via Seattle, stayed at Waikiki on O'ahu, then went on to Vancouver (Whistler, Granville Island, Stanley Park) and from there got a cruise ship through Alaska then back to Seattle. Awesome trip. The Norwegian Fjords are stunning. Also like Sweden, Stockholm is very interesting. Absolutely love the USA New Orleans is fantastic, Tupelo, Natchez, Vicksburg, Memphis and Nashville, (anything Elvis), would go again at the drop of a hat. The world is vast, so many stunning places to visit; but, in the UK Dorset, Devon and Cornwall are fabulous too :) Happy travels - I'm off to Santorini next!ViewDate:
