NCL to double number of solo cabins

Norwegian Cruise Line is to add more than 1,000 solo cabins, doubling its current amount as the line adds a renewed focus on catering for solos.

The company will also offer three new categories, solo inside, solo oceanview and solo balcony from January 2, 2024.

The investment means that there will be solo cabins on all 19 of NCL’s ships, more than doubling the current number of nine.

“With pricing and availability dependent on the destination and demand, solo travellers can expect to pay less than a traditional double occupancy room,” said the cruise line.

David J. Herrera, NCL president, said: “Since we first launched our solo staterooms in 2010 with Norwegian Epic, they have been quite popular with single travellers.

“After realising the growing demand of individuals looking to travel on their own, we have now expanded single occupancy staterooms across our fleet.”
