We often highlight the relative plight of solo travellers in the cruise world, with single supplements sometimes as much as 200% of the regular fare for two people in a cabin.
But Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines work hard to be attractive to solo guests, and have just introduced a ‘no single supplement’ on certain grades of twin cabins for sole occupancy, on a selection of 2014/15 cruises. These special ‘no single supplement’ deals, which came into effect this month, mean that a solo guest, occupying a twin cabin, will pay the same per person rate as a couple, on applicable cruises.

Once on board, solo travellers will
find exclusive gatherings for them to get to know each other, and staff on board
will seat them together for dinner, and arrange companions for solo travellers
when going ashore, if required. There are also Gentleman Hosts and Dance Couples to provide dancing partners for solo guests. The relatively
small size of Fred. Olsen’s four ships and the relaxed and friendly
atmosphere on board also make their cruises especially attractive for those
travelling alone.
These ‘twin-for-sole occupancy’ fares for solo travellers are now being offered on a range of
cruise itineraries, including (subject to
availability):
-
Balmoral’s eight-night
‘Norwegian Rivers &
Railways’ cruise, from Southampton on August 10.
-
Braemar’s
nine-night 'Canary Islands' fly-cruise, from Southampton on November 23 (flying back to the UK from
Tenerife at cruise
end).
- Black
Watch’s eleven-night 'France , Spain & Portugal ' cruise, from Newcastle
