Solo Travellers Saving Money: Part Two
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:
Cruise on lines that have programs to partner up solo
travellers.
Lines like Holland America and Princess have a matching program
where solo travellers can sign up to be partnered up with another
guest to share a cabin. Your travel agent or the line can manage
this. You do, however, risk sharing with someone who you do not get
on with.
Sign-up for solo travel site newsletters.
There are a number of sites that focus on finding and promoting
deals for solo travellers which they send out in their eMail
newsletters. They are a great resource for finding the best
options. I recommend http://solotravelerblog.com which
has become one of the largest online resources for solo travel
advice and deals. Sites like http://www.singlestravelintl.com
and Solosholidays.co.uk arrange
solo group cruises as well offering individual bookings and
deals.
