When GoingSolo.Life first began— originally launching as cruisebeyondhorizons.com — it was rooted in a love for maritime travel. While we quickly pivoted to focus heavily on fast-paced, 48-Hour City Travel Guides (and recently expanded into World Cup and NFL host city coverage!), travel is never static.
We know that independent travelers, solo adventurers, and anyone prepping for a future getaway often look to the open seas for their next journey. That’s why we’re bringing cruise coverage back into the fold — bigger, smarter, and more practical than before.
Here is a look at what’s landing on GoingSolo.Life:
🚢 The New Cruise Hub: Directories, Finders, & Community
We are rolling out a dedicated suite of tools designed to take the guesswork out of planning a cruise:
- Comprehensive Sailing Directory & Cruise Finder: Easily navigate options, itineraries, and ship details tailored for independent and solo travelers.
- Curated Facebook Group Connections: Direct links to the best, most active community groups for the world’s major cruise lines so you can connect with fellow sailers before you even step on board.
Current & Upcoming Line Coverage
- Now Live: Full guides and directories for Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Holland America.
- Rolling Out Next: Dedicated pages for Carnival, Princess, and MSC Cruises.
Coming Soon: High-Utility On-Board & Port Tools
Planning port days can be chaotic when you’re managing multiple destinations back-to-back. To fix that, we’re launching two custom planning tools in the coming months:
- Port-by-Port Tipping & Currency Guides: Clear, accurate local customs and payment guidelines for individual ports around the globe.
- Multi-Port Itinerary Cheat Sheets: A single, downloadable reference guide covering every currency, exchange note, and tipping etiquette rule for your entire sailing—ready before you even board the ship.
📰 More Industry Insights & Coverage
Alongside these practical tools, we’re expanding our editorial coverage of the cruise industry as a whole— offering straightforward analysis, solo-traveler news, cabin strategies, and ship breakdowns.
Whether you’re booking your first solo cabin, planning a multi-port getaway, or just mapping out options for 2027 and beyond, our goal remains the same: giving you clear, actionable travel guidance without the noise.
