Norwegian Cruise Line is adding 1,000 dedicated solo staterooms across its 19-ship fleet to cater for demand from single cruisers. This includes the launch of three new solo stateroom categories on sailings from 2 January 2024 – on sale now.
NCL debuted its solo staterooms aboard Norwegian Epic in 2010. After growing interest from individual travellers, the company will more than double its solo accommodation capacity with new categories: Solo Inside, Solo Oceanview and Solo Balcony.
On select ships, guests in the new solo stateroom categories can access the keycard-entry Studio Lounge – a dedicated space with a bar and daily snacks.
In addition to their own lounge, solo cruisers can also enjoy activities scheduled for single travellers to mix and mingle.
NCL President David J. Herrera said solo travellers can expect to pay less than a traditional double occupancy room with pricing and availability dependent on demand and destination.
“Since we first launched our solo staterooms in 2010 with Norwegian Epic, they have been quite popular with single travellers,” he said.
From 2019 to 2022, NCL saw an increase in guests booking accommodation as a single occupant in non-studio staterooms.
“After realising the growing demand of individuals looking to travel on their own, we have now expanded single occupancy staterooms across our fleet,” Mr Herrera added.
NCL recently launched its latest ship, the brand-new Norwegian Viva.
