Today is an exciting day in the world of solo cruising! 

 

The process of awakening the cruise lines to the changing demographics and increasing numbers of solo cruisers has been long and difficult.  However, they are beginning to listen... and more importantly make changes!

 

We all by now know that Norwegian has 4 ships (Epic, Breakaway, Getaway and Pride of America in Hawaii) with dedicated Studio Single cabins.  Royal Caribbean has retrofitted a few cabins on existing ships, but more importantly is building single inside AND balcony cabins on the Quantum Class.  Luxury, river and specialty lines such as Crystal, Azamara, Oceania, Compagnie du Ponant, Voyages to Antiquity, AmaWaterways, Viking and Uniworld regularly offer reduced and/or no single supplement sailings, some with dedicated single cabins.

 

But today, an iconic brand has announced they are bringing back single cabins.  Who, you ask?

 

Cunard!

 

The historic Queen Elizabeth II had a number of dedicated single cabins, most of which had originally been maids' quarters.  It was a sad day to lovers of classic ocean liners when the Queen Mary 2 was announced without similar accommodations.

 

However, after a number of conversations with Cunard over the years regarding the demand, they today are reviving the tradition of single occupancy cabins on the Queen Elizabeth!

 

There are 8 outside and one inside cabin available, starting with the December 16, 2014 sailing (Q422).

 

Called the Britannia Single Staterooms, they feature an ideal mid-ship location on Deck 2, close to the social hub of the ship, including the Empire Casino, Royal Court Theatre and the Queens Room.  Featuring single bed (47" width), large windows in the Oceanview staterooms, and all the lovely service and tradition of Cunard, these staterooms are exactly what we have been asking for!

 

Please help me in showing Cunard "the love" from solo cruisers by calling or emailing me now to book your cruise or voyage on the Queen Elizabeth in 2014, 2015 and beyond!  We need to show them (and by extension their sister brand Princess... hint hint) that if they build it, we will book!

 

As your solo occupancy expert, I look forward to assisting you in all your cruise bookings.  It is my mission to get you the best possible option for your vacation desires. 

 

Remember that even if you're not receiving a special mailing from me, I'm here to book your solo travel... as well as more "traditional" couples, family, meeting and incentive travel as well. 

 

Are you subscribed to my CruiseOne "corporate" emails?  While not targeted to solo travelers (and pricing is usually double occupancy), we do offer frequent booking incentives, including onboard credits, reduced deposits, included gratuities, even pre- and post-cruise airport transfers!  If you'd like to be notified of these promotions, just click over to Amber Blecker - CruiseOne and add your email and zip code in the green box on the right side (Sign Up for Exclusive Offers and Discounts).  You can even customize the offers you receive!


A reminder to you, if you have friends who might be interested in specials, but who sail double occupancy or in family groups, they can sign up for my double occupancy version of this newsletter at CruiseResource.com Double Occupancy Newsletter.

Do you know of other singles who might be interested in this newsletter? Please forward it to them! There's a convenient "forward to a friend" link at the end of this email. Tell your friends! Remember, this service is free to all subscribers. Thanks to your spreading the word, SoloCruiseResource is growing rapidly, which will enable us to offer even more special prices!

In addition to the different specials, all things cruise can be discussed there.  Have a question about a port, ship, or other cruise-related tidbit?  Feel free to ask it there! 

From time to time, I'll be running fun games, contests, and other events exclusive to Facebook.  So if you have a Facebook account, come join the conversation!
Don't Forget... 
In addition to the extra special offers I send out from time to time by email here, there are the regular weekly Happy Hour Specials on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity, the 125% supplement specials on Azamara, periodic no single supplement offers from various river cruise lines, and a host of other options I can offer you by email. 

I am now partnering with lines directly as well, like Voyages to Antiquity. Be on the watch for offers coming your way from there!

Be sure to watch Facebook, and know you can always call or email when you're looking for something.  I'm here for you! 
  
While there's nothing I can do if the cruise line isn't offering a reduced supplement, I know where to find them and can offer you advice and strategies so we can ensure you're getting the best deal as a solo cruiser.  Always.

Until next time,

Amber
