Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the best ways that I avoid paying that supplement is to book a cabin that is designed for just one passenger rather than being the sole occupant of a much bigger cabin designed for two, three, and sometimes even four different passengers.

Virgin Voyages in my experience are absolutely fantastic with solo travelers. There's so much going on and in fact at the start of the cruise there's even a dedicated member of the crew who will help to get that solo traveler group mingling and to help integrate socially.

I recently booked a regular ocean view cabin on board Norwegian Breakaway and was really impressed with both the price I paid and the fact that it gave me full access to all of the studio lounge and all of the activities that were organized on board, too.

I don't think MSC cruisers are bad for solo travelers. And in fact, I think they're one of the best cruise lines to cruise with if you're solo.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a cabin designed for one passenger to avoid solo supplement.
Check all cabin grades for pricing, as sometimes ocean view or balcony cabins can be cheaper than solo cabins.

YouTube Video Description

#Cruise If you're thinking about cruising solo, you're probably aware of solo supplements. Over the last few years, I've taken over 50 different cruises, and I've learned a few different ways to minimise my solo supplement. One of the best ways to avoid paying a solo supplement is to book a cabin that's designed for just one passenger, rather than occupying a standard cabin onboard. In this video, I'm going to show you FIVE of my favourite solo cruise cabins, and I'm also going to share with you my WORST. I'll also share a 'top tip' that might help you to book a much better cabin than you're currently planning to. If you enjoy this video, please hit both the THUMBS UP and SUBSCRIBE buttons!
