We set out to find a cruise that does not charge a hefty single supplement
for solo travellers.
Question: Having been on a cruise I would love to go on another,
alone. Is there any company that does not charge a hefty single supplement?
Not sure where to go, have just been to the Red Sea, the world awaits!
Answer: Thank you for your e-mail. It seems that single supplements
are one of the most complained about aspects of travel. With more and more of
the UK population now falling into the singles category and with a growing number
of people holidaying alone without their partners – for example to take
part in a particular activity based holiday such as painting or cooking, more
Brits are falling foul of the single supplement!
While there are ways around the single supplement – travelling off peak
or sharing – these are not really ideal. Cruises are notorious for adding
on extras, but there are a few options available for you if you are looking
for a cruise without having to pay the additional single supplements.
