As a single traveller the majority of cruise liners will charge at least 100% supplement on a twin berth cabin for sole occupancy; this is actually double the price which in my view it is just ridiculous. It isn’t fair and it’s not acceptable and it’s about time most cruise liners understood that a lot of their guests do travel alone.
Well my good news is that Fred Olsen are doing special offers for solo travellers, eventually a cruise liner that has listened to their guests.
The deal Fred Olsen are offering is that a solo guest occupying a twin room will pay no single-supplement on bookings made from February 1, 2017 until March 1, 2017.
The cruise line is offering the deals on the following itineraries in 2017/18 (on selected grades, subject to availability):
- Boudicca : 08/05/2017, 8 night cruise departing from Belfast ‘Lochs of Scotland’ (adult-only) – no single-supplement for a Superior Ocean View and standard Ocean View. Prices start from £1,199 per person for a standard Ocean View.
