All of the cruises I've taken have been with others, so I really don't know how much a solo traveler aboard a cruise ship has to pay. I've heard that cruise costs for solo travelers are very pricey.
With that said, at least once cruise line, Norwegian Cruise Line, is offering deals for solo cruise passengers. It has been long in coming.
From Forbes:
For several decades, solo cruise travelers found themselves at a financial disadvantage compared to couples and families. Cruise pricing has long been based on double occupancy, with lines traditionally setting fares to fill cabins with two or more passengers, maximizing revenue through onboard spending.
For those wanting to travel alone, this model led to significantly higher per-person costs, with solo cruisers often paying close to the price of two fares, regardless of cabin size or personal preferences.
This pricing hurdle, coupled with limited options specifically designed for solo guests, has long made solo cruising an unappealing and costly choice.
However, recent shifts in the industry are finally offering solo cruise travelers a better deal, and one line is at the forefront of the change.
