Cruise times are changing. They always are. Here’s one of the latest…<\/p>\n

Cunard<\/a> announced a refurbishment of the Queen Mary 2<\/a>, and with it comes news that 15 single staterooms will be added. The rationale from Cunard is that single rooms are necessary because not only are more people cruising solo, but there are more family groups traveling together that include singles. There are already single staterooms available on fleetmates Queen Elizabeth<\/a> and Queen Victoria<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There is no single supplement for these cabins. In other words, you pay the same per-person price as you would if two to a cabin.<\/p>\n

Other cruise lines have been ahead of that curve for some time. The Epic<\/a>, with 128 solo cabins (some connecting) was the first in the Norwegian<\/a> fleet with the highly-popular option for single travelers. There’s also a Studio Lounge, for the exclusive use of passengers who book in the solo cabins. With no single supplement they sell out quickly. Surprisingly, there are fewer single cabins on Norwegian’s latest ships, the Getaway<\/a> and the Breakaway<\/a> (59 on each). <\/p>\n

The Escape<\/a>, being launched in the fall, will have 82. <\/p>\n

Royal Caribbean’s<\/a> Quantum of the Seas<\/a> and Anthem of the Seas<\/a> each have 28 single staterooms, and Ovation of the Seas<\/a>, also arriving this fall, will apparently also have 28 solo cabins. No single supplements apply.<\/p>\n

Costa Cruises<\/a> has 17 solo cabins on at least two of its ships, Costa Favolosa<\/a> and Costa Fascinosa<\/a>. There is a single supplement, although not exorbitant.<\/p>\n

Carnival<\/a> does offer some value-priced solo cruise fares, with some supplements as low as five per cent.<\/p>\n

One thing is certain: In the cruise world, singles are being heard.<\/p>\n
