“Whether you’re single, widowed, divorced or simply have a partner who doesn’t fancy cruising,” explains Kate, “this is your invitation to join a like-minded community of women who love to explore in comfort and style: proof that travelling solo doesn’t always mean going it alone.

“We focus on both ocean and river cruises, offering a mix of escorted group trips (perfect if you’d like company) and options for those who’d prefer to cruise independently but still have a friendly support network. We also help you decide if you’d like to book your own cabin or if you’d be open to sharing with another lovely lady to help keep costs down – the choice is always yours.”

A series of monthly get-togethers in Stratford-upon-Avon are planned as a way for members of the club to meet up before they book or travel. From elegant afternoon teas to relaxed evening drinks, the idea is to chat about all things cruise: destinations, ships, packing tips, solo travel confidence and more.

“It’s a no-pressure, no-obligation space where friendships are made and plans are hatched,” adds Kate.

“So if you’ve ever dreamed of watching the world go by from the deck of a ship, with your own space and great company when you want it, come and join us. This is more than just a travel club – it’s a chance to make memories, build connections, and cruise the world your way.

“We’d love to welcome you aboard.”
