Tips and Ideas
- Tip: NCL to introduce cabins for one.
Norwegian Cruise Line will market the 100-square-foot studio accommodations on its upcoming newbuild, the 4,200 passenger Norwegian Epic, to solo travelers.
The Epic’s 128 studio cabins will be designated and priced for single travelers, eliminating the so called “single supplement” common for cruisers traveling alone, a rate that is typically equal to the price of the second berth in the cabin. Literally paying twice the cost for one person in the cabin.
Prices for the studios start at $799.
Solo travelers have typically been ignored by the cruise industry, and NCL is taking the opportunity to eradicate this situation on the new EPIC ship. The studios, slightly smaller than standard inside cabins, have windows looking onto corridors. All passengers in the studios share exclusive use of the Living Room, a common space with a lounge, private bar and two large screen TV’s.
The single supplement rate has always been a ‘key barrier’ to getting solo cruisers. NCL’s goal is to break down that barrier and make it more comfortable for single travelers. Solo travel is well suited to a cruise. Cruising is perfect for people who want to travel alone but who do no want to be alone.
