Solo Travellers Saving Money: Part Three
The cruising industry is looking at making cruising financially
more attractive to solo travellers who usually have had to pay
large surcharges to stay in cabins designed for twin occupancy.
Over the next few episodes I will share tips for solo travellers
wanting to go cruising, for example:
Consider European river cruising.
Many of the river cruising lines, including Tauck and Uniworld,
operating in Europe waive surcharges on many of their cruises
through the year. This form of cruising usually offer more deals
for solo guests than their ocean counterparts. It is with asking
your travel agent to check which are offering deals when you want
to travel and sign up for the email newsletters of lines to get
alerts of deals.
Set up a Google alert for solo travel deals.
If you google “cruise deals for single travellers” or “cruise deals
for solo travellers” you will find the latest deals. If you set up
an alert and define how often you want to receive them (e.g.
Weekly, daily etc) you will be alerted when lines are offering
lower surcharges, or waiving them all together, on specific
sailings or over a certain period.
