1 Cruise the Canaries

Single travellers can face daunting supplements when cruising, but this seven-night holiday from Tenerife, including flights, hosts lone voyagers at a reasonable price. Horizon is an older, well-maintained ship that provides a no-frills package. From dancing to pottery, there’s lots to do on board in between stops at La Palma, Agadir, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. From £869 for a single cabin.

2 P&O Strictly Cruise

Relax for 14 glorious nights on board Britannia, the ship that boasts the gin bar with a menu sporting 20 different choices. You can enjoy Strictly themed evenings from the audience or don your dancing shoes and join in! You might even bump into Craig Revel Horwood. Departing from Southampton, you’ll visit Toulon, Cartagena, Alicante, La Spezia, Gibraltar, Barcelona and Rome. From £1,239, book early and receive up to £175pp spending money plus exclusive offers for third and fourth guests.
