How to Travel as a Single on a Cabin Cruise

Cruise lines are sensitive to the needs of the single traveler. Most cruise prices are based on double occupancy, but occasionally single people do book a cabin alone. When this happens, most cruise lines will expect you to pay for the double-occupancy cabin. Taking the time to plan ahead will expand your options as a single cruiser.

      Plan your cruise. Call the cruise line you want to book with and ask for a personal vacation planner. Each cruise line may have a different name for their planners, but they all serve the same function--to help you book the best cruise for your lifestyle and interests. Personal vacation planners also have the power to negotiate a lower price on your double cabin.
