Many more cruise lines offer single cabins these days, which is good for lone travellers. The downside is that to book you often have to pay a higher per person price than if you were sharing.
Exceptions include the studio cabins on Norwegian Cruise Line’s ( ncl.co.uk ) ships Epic, Breakaway and Getaway and the single cabins on P&O Cruises’ ( pocruises.com ) Azura, Ventura, Arcadia, Aurora and Oriana (and Britannia when that ship launches in March 2015). One to watch is Voyages to Antiquity ( voyagestoantiquity.com ), which often waives its single supplement.
On the rivers, there’s no extra charge for single cabins on Tauck’s ( tauck.com ) vessels Savor and Inspire, and the single supplement is waived for lone travellers booking lower-deck category 1 twin cabins on its other vessels. Riviera Travel ( rivieratravel.co.uk ) sells a limited number of lower-deck cabins with no supplement.
