About the Club
Created by cruisers, for cruisers.
Cruise Companions Club is a community for people who love cruising but don't always have someone to cruise with.
We're here to make it easier for cruise lovers to meet like-minded people, form genuine connections and enjoy more of the cruises they've been dreaming about.
Some members are looking for people to meet onboard. Some would love a shore excursion companion or someone to join them for dinner. Others hope to make cruise friends they may eventually travel with again.
CCC gives those connections somewhere to begin.
You can arrive solo. You don't have to cruise alone.
Why we created Cruise Companions Club
Cruise Companions Club began with a problem we'd both seen firsthand.
Steve had been travelling solo for more than 10 years and had taken more than 30 cruises, including world cruises. Along the way, he met countless people who loved cruising but didn't always have someone to travel with.
I had heard the same thing throughout my years working in travel:
"I'd love to go on that cruise — but I don't have anyone to go with."
Sometimes a partner didn't enjoy cruising. Sometimes friends weren't available. Sometimes life circumstances had changed. And too often, an incredible cruise simply didn't happen.
Fittingly, Steve and I met while we were both travelling solo on an Azamara cruise.
That shared experience, Steve's years of solo cruising and my background in travel became the starting point for Cruise Companions Club.
We wanted to create the kind of community we'd seen people looking for — somewhere cruise lovers could meet others who understand their love of cruising and form genuine connections.
That might mean finding someone to meet for dinner onboard, a shore excursion companion, a friend on the same sailing, or someone you get to know well enough to plan a future cruise with.
You can arrive solo. You don't have to cruise alone.

Founders, Cruise Companions Club
Cruising solo shouldn't mean feeling alone.
There's a big difference between choosing to travel solo and wanting to experience every part of a cruise alone.
Sometimes it's simply nicer to know someone else onboard.
- Someone to meet for a drink.
- Someone to join for dinner.
- Someone interested in the same shore excursion.
- Someone to say hello to around the ship.
- Or perhaps someone you connect with well enough to cruise with again.
Cruise Companions Club is designed to help those connections happen naturally.
CCC is not a dating site.
And finding a companion does not mean agreeing to share a cabin. Members decide who they connect with, how they interact and whether a connection ever moves beyond the Club.
Find the kind of connection that suits you.
Meet onboard
Find other cruise lovers who may be sailing when you are and make a familiar connection before you embark.
Share the experience
Meet someone for dinner, an onboard activity or a shore excursion — without needing to travel together.
Make cruise friends
Connect with people who share your cruising style, interests and enthusiasm for being at sea.
Plan a future cruise
Sometimes a connection made through cruising becomes someone you'd happily cruise with again.
Your connections. Your choice.
Meeting new people should feel exciting, not pressured.
That's why Cruise Companions Club is being built around member choice, privacy and sensible ways to connect.
- Member profiles
- Cruise Profile and companion preferences
- Connection requests
- Private member-to-member messaging
- Profile visibility controls
- Blocking and reporting tools
- Community standards and safety guidance

Built from real cruising experience.
CCC combines two perspectives that shaped the Club from the beginning.
Steve brings more than a decade of solo travel experience and more than 30 cruises, including world cruises.
Natalie brings years of experience working in travel and helping people turn "I'd love to go" into an actual journey.
Together, those experiences shaped a Club built around a simple idea:
Not having someone to cruise with shouldn't stop you from cruising.
Cruise bookings are handled through CCC's trusted licensed travel-agent partner.
Your next cruise could start with a hello.
Join a community of people who understand why you love cruising — and start discovering who you might meet along the way.
