Solo Cruising: How It Works

Published On Sep 11, 2024, 5:03 AM

The article discusses the rise in popularity of solo cruising since the end of Covid-era travel restrictions. Cruise lines are now appealing to solo travelers by offering reduced single occupancy penalties, such as Windstar Cruises, which has lowered its single occupancy fare to 120% of a double occupancy rate. However, as cruise bookings have surged and demand increases, many deals for solo travelers are disappearing, reverting to pre-pandemic pricing models. Despite rising prices, solo cruising remains a favored trend, with 59% of surveyed respondents indicating plans to travel alone in 2024.

Stock Forecasts

Based on the trend of rising prices in solo cruising and the recovery of bookings in the cruise industry, cruise lines may see increased revenue. The shift towards reduced discounts for solo travelers could position companies like Carnival Corporation to benefit from higher revenue per passenger as solo travel continues to grow in popularity.
