Holland America’s New Koningsdam Solo Staterooms are Here!

Holland America Koningsdam solo staterooms really measure up.

It’s not rocket science. It’s all about revenue. That’s the reason the cruise lines have dragged their heels for so long about solo staterooms. Holland America has always known that solo travelers existed and aside from the usual 150-200% single supplement, Holland America is the only cruise line that still offers a Solo Share Program with same-sex passengers.

But what if you want your own space? The Koningsdam solo staterooms fit the bill. The Koningsdam, which launched last month, is the first ship in Holland America’s innovative Pinnacle Class and the first to offer purpose-built solo staterooms.

Located forward on the Main Deck, the 12 single ocean-view stateroom range in size from 127 to 172 square feet. The difference in square footage depends on the location of the stateroom; there are six on each side of the ship towards the bow. The first solo staterooms are smaller and they increase in size the further back you go.

All of the solo and traditional double occupancy staterooms feature Holland America Line’s signature Mariner’s Dream bed, bathrobes to use during the voyage, a modern shower head, flat-panel TV with video-on-demand, mini fridge, complimentary fresh fruit on request and bath amenities from Elemis Aroma pure . Also included are ice service, shoeshine service and nightly turndown service. All the staterooms are equipped with bedside USB ports, too.

As can be the case with other cruise lines selling solo staterooms, sometimes solos staterooms are priced higher than a lower category double occupancy stateroom, even with a 150-200% single supplement. A price-check today revealed that this is not the case aboard the Koningsdam. Their solo stateroom compared with a similar double occupancy ocean-view stateroom, was nearly $500 less that the double occupancy room.

Thank you for your question…I’m sure it will be helpful to others, too. Holland America, and other cruise lines as well, have accessible staterooms. If the ship only has a bathtub with shower (as with many of Holland America’s older ships) then you could ask for an accessible stateroom. These will have a walk-in shower with at least two grab bars.

As for solo staterooms, many times you can book a double occupancy room for the same price as an actual solo stateroom. Solo staterooms are sort of a novelty item. While you don’t pay the single supplement, you will probably pay more for something unique. Koningsdam has beautiful solo staterooms, but I’m not certain if any of them have a walk-in shower.

Thank you again for reading my Koningsdam article. I hope you are able to find the best stateroom for your needs. Have a wonderful cruise!

Hi, I am a Holland America Mariner. I have recently separated. So, I do wish to begin cruising again. Obviously in a single room, other issue for me is, that I need an ambulant type of room. I cannot shower over a bath, so I need grab rails at least in the bathroom. So, can that be accommodated on a Holland America ship? Sorry about the drama. Helen Mildenhall

The Best Cruise Lines with Solo Cabins (and the Best Cruises for Singles)

It used to cost a small fortune if you wanted a cruise cabin to yourself, as you were basically paying the price for two people.

But then solo cruising became one of the hottest trends in travel.

Indeed, Google searches for “solo cruises” by U.S. users have recently more than doubled .

“I've seen an increase year after year in the solo travel community, especially among single females,” says Shelby Frenette, a solo travel expert and manager of the TravelFun.Biz agency, which caters to singles. “Their desire to travel is so strong that most major cruise lines are starting to design their ships with solo occupancy cabins to accommodate this growing population.”

Most importantly, they’re pricing these cabins for individual travelers. And they’re also waiving or reducing the dreaded “single supplement” fee, which charges vacationers for two full cruise fares even when they stay alone in a double-occupancy room. That supplementary cost can be a budget-busting 100% more.

But it’s not just affordability that defines a good cruise. To help lone travelers feel welcome on board, cruise lines are also rolling out additional opportunities for them to meet other singles at exclusive receptions, get-togethers, and group dining just for solo cruisers.

Unfortunately, demand still outstrips supply on most of these lines, so if you want one of these special rooms, you have to book early, and you should always make sure you’re getting a special single-cabin rate and not paying a single supplement to stay in a room categorized as a double.

Based on price, cabin options, and a solo-friendly environment, here are 10 lines that are now offering smoother sailing for cruisers traveling alone or who want a private room. (Pictured above: a specially designed Studio cabin on the Norwegian Epic)

Cruise lines with solo accommodations

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: celebrity cruises

Celebrity Cruises ’ commitment to singles is evident in its mast-high growth in solo bookings, up an annual 225% over the past two years. Perhaps that’s because its ships offer great options for cruisers on their own. Celebrity offers interior, windowless cabins to solo bookers, but the premium line's two newest vessels, Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Ascent (which launched in December 2023), each stock 32 single staterooms with the line’s so-named Infinite Veranda (pictured above). That's a hard-sided, ocean-facing balcony with motorized slide-down window that turns an interior sitting area into an oceanview space. That feature extends the 184 square feet of cabin space by an additional 42. Celebrity Apex features 24 of them, while Celebrity Edge (which debuted them in 2018) is home to 16. Each has a queen-size bed, rare for single rooms. Celebrity Silhouette has four inside digs-for-one at 103 square feet each.

These one-person cabins, which have the same upscale amenities as double-occupancy ones, charge no single supplements. The Infinite Veranda staterooms are especially popular, with 71% of Celebrity's solo travelers booking these rooms with a view. Guests on their own can also take advantage of special promotions that waive the single supplement in standard cabins, but only on select voyages.

Celebrity offers events for travelers on their own, including a gathering hosted by the activities team, which helps break the ice. An un-hosted solos table is also available every night for those who want to dine with new friends, but you can also eat alone if you choose. All that is why Celebrity Cruises won industry awards in the Solo Travel category from Travel Weekly 's 2022 and 2023 Magellan Awards.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: Cunard

Cunard is famous for its elegant liner-style ships that evoke the Golden Age of ocean voyages. But in a departure from that traditional era, three of its four ships now offer solo cabins ranging from 178 to 183 square feet in size: Queen Mary 2 (15), Queen Victoria (nine), and Queen Elizabeth (nine, including one pictured above). All have twin-size beds and especially large windows with coveted ocean views, except for one inside cabin on both the Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth . Cunard's Queen Anne is not slated to include solo staterooms when it begins service in 2024.

Singles pay a solo fare for these cabins far less than the single supplement of 175% for staying in a double-occupancy stateroom.

Cunard also hosts coffee meet-ups and cocktail receptions for its solo guests. Select voyages also have “gentleman hosts” onboard to serve as dance partners and shore excursion escorts.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: Holland America

From its solo-oriented activities to its cabins for one, Holland America ’s commitment to singles is full steam ahead. Since 2016, it has introduced 12 single staterooms in each of its three Pinnacle Class ships, Nieuw Statendam , Rotterdam , and Koningsdam (pictured above). At 127 to 172 square feet each, they have ocean views and the same amenities as double-occupancy cabins but with a double bed.

The single cabins are priced for one. Single supplements for double-occupancy staterooms, meanwhile, are as much as 100% extra and are rarely reduced or waived.

But Holland America, which attracts older cruisers, stands out for its Single Partner Program, whereby singles can join a wide variety of activities for solo passengers, from mixers and cocktail parties to game nights, cooking classes, wine tastings, and line dancing. Plus, some shore excursions are geared just to singles, from solo parasailing and ATV adventures to private day touring. Finally, those traveling alone can also arrange to dine together.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: MSC Cruises

As European-owned MSC Cruises rapidly expands its fleet of 22 ships, it’s making leeway on accommodating travelers who are on their own. Six of its ships have a total of 136 cabins for one, 38 of which have windows and 20 with prized balconies. All have twin-size beds. The World America, set to debut in 2025, will also feature solo staterooms. MSC’s shipboard ambiance is international with a cosmopolitan vibe.

Solo cabins carry no single supplement on MSC. But a single traveler choosing between solo cabins and comparable interior or balcony ones designed for two would save an average of 40% for a balcony and 25% for an interior. Lone cruisers have to pay a single supplement of 100% if they book a double-occupancy cabin, which MSC sometimes discounts.

Solos looking to meet other single travelers can attend a special hosted cocktail party.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: Norwegian Cruise Line

The pioneer in solo cruising, Norwegian turned the tide when it introduced 128 studio cabins designed and priced exclusively for one on the Norwegian Epic back in 2010. Yes, they were small, at just 100 square feet, but they enabled solo travelers to consistently avoid the single supplement. Located on the inside, they had a full-size bed and a window feature, but not one that faced the water.

Today, this line known for its specialty dining is still trailblazing. It’s the first one to offer a wide variety of cabin categories dedicated to singles. As of Jan. 2, 2024, the line introduced solo inside, solo oceanview, and solo balcony categories, bringing to 1,500 the number of solo cabins across its 19-ship fleet—although some of those are regular double-occupancy rooms that are assigned single-occupancy status on a per-voyage basis . More than 150 Studio cabins feature true oceanview window rooms and more than 300 have balconies, a rarity for solo accommodations.

In addition, guests staying in the solo category staterooms can meet other single travelers, relax, and get cocktails during limited hours at the dedicated Studio Lounge (pictured above) for the exclusive use of guests who booked these cabins. Lounges are available on Norwegian Bliss , Norwegian Breakaway , Norwegian Encore , Norwegian Epic , Norwegian Escape , Norwegian Getaway , Pride of America , Norwegian Prima , and Norwegian Viva . It’s not surprising, then, that Norwegian was named Best Cruise Line for Solo Travelers six years in a row by Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine and was named Best for Solo Travelers by CruiseCritic.com's U.S. editors in 2023.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: Oceania Cruises

Small, intimate, and easy to navigate, Oceania Cruises ’ six ships are especially conducive to solo travelers and the line is stepping up to meet the increased demand from this group. Its four 600-passenger ships— Regatta , Insignia , Nautica , and Sirena— each have 14 solo oceanview staterooms, while the newest ship, Vista (launched in May 2023), has six 270-square-foot solo cabins with prized oversized balcony verandas. Although these Concierge Level Veranda units only have twin beds (pictured above), they entitle cruisers to keycard-only access to a Concierge Lounge with extra amenities. Oceania’s upcoming 1,200-passenger ship Allura , scheduled to launch in 2025, will have solo accommodations similar to Vista ’s.

Solo cabins cost less than comparable double-occupancy rooms (though not quite half as much). But travelers can also book regular cabins with a reduced single supplement of up to 50% for specific categories, along with 2-for-1 Cruise Fare deals. Oceania also creates special opportunities on board for solo cruisers, including welcome cocktail receptions and group dining tables—the line is known for its high-quality cuisine.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: Royal Caribbean

Famous for its megaships—including the world’s largest ones for passenger cruises—and for first-at-sea attractions, Royal Caribbean knows how to stand out. If you want to sail on a behemoth vessel with a tidal wave of amenities and attractions, this line is for you, especially if you’re traveling alone.

Five of its blockbuster Quantum Class ships— Anthem of the Seas , Odyssey of the Seas , Ovation of the Seas , Quantum of the Seas , and Spectrum of the Seas —harbor 28 studio cabins for one. They represent a mix of inside cabins with virtual balconies (false windows that are digital screens projecting real-time views from outside; pictured above) and balcony rooms with 55-square-foot open-air terraces, generous for solo accommodations. Studios range in size from 101 to 119 square feet and have full-size beds but might lack features such as couches. Two additional vessels, Harmony of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas , offer 15 solo staterooms starting at 96 square feet located in both inside and outside locations. However, the highly anticipated Icon of the Seas, new in January 2024 and the largest cruise ship ever, has no solo cabins.

Royal Caribbean's studio solo cabins don't charge a single supplement, while regular cabins come with single supplements up to 100% over standard double-occupancy fares.

best solo cabins on cruises: best single cabins for cruising: Virgin Voyages

Young, hip, and for adults only, Richard Branson’s Virgin Voyages is taking its appeal to sole cruisers seriously. Each of its superyacht-style ships— Scarlet Lady , Valiant Lady , and Resilient Lady— includes 46 cabins for one with full-size beds, including 40 Solo Insider rooms and six Solo Sea View ones that provide rare forward-facing views of the water. That's a significant number dedicated to travelers alone out of 1,330 cabins on each ship. At 105 to 130 square feet each, they may be smaller than some competitors, but they display the sleek, stylish design that’s a hallmark of the line.

Solo cabins are priced for one, while singles in a double-occupancy room pay about 20%–30% less than two people, a substantial savings compared to other lines. That extra amount is sometimes waived on special promotions.

Virgin’s young, adult-focused atmosphere hits the mark with sole cruisers looking to have fun with other singles. From an organized “grog walk” (Virginese for pub crawl) through the many shipboard bars to solo meet-ups to a dedicated solo travelers’ table in each signature restaurant, the line ensures lone travelers aren’t lonely. In fact, finding new friends seems like half the point.

Norwegian Cruise Line offers this category on nine of the 19 ships in its fleet, including the newest ship, Norwegian Viva. These cabins, at an average size of 100 square feet, are designed and priced with the solo traveler in mind. They have no single supplements – and studio rooms on board Norwegian Bliss even boast virtual windows.

Guests of the studios get access to the private Studio Lounge. In this exclusive space, you can socialize with other solo travelers and enjoy complimentary refreshments. There are also singles meetups throughout the voyage and plenty of fun-filled onboard activities to mingle with like-minded cruisers.

MSC World America, set to debut in 2025, will also feature the solo studio staterooms.

Three of Holland America Line's newest ships each offer 12 solo cabins to accommodate single travelers: the Pinnacle-class Nieuw Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Konigsdam. These ocean view staterooms range in size from 127 to 172 square feet and feature the same amenities as the double occupancy cabins but with a double bed. The cruise line's Single Staterooms are priced for one person. If a guest chooses to book a different stateroom, single supplements for double occupancy cabins are as much as 100% over the standard fare, depending on the voyage and the cabin category.

Long committed to solo travelers, the line offers many activities where guests can meet other singles such as wine tastings, cocktail mixers, exercise classes, daily quizzes, sports challenges and more. If you're a solo traveler and a member of AARP, Holland America is now the exclusive cruise benefit provider to AARP's members.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do carnival cruise ships have single cabins.

Carnival cruise ships do not offer any single cabins. All ships in the Carnival cruise fleet are 100% double occupancy.

As a solo traveler, you can book a double occupancy room, but you have to pay 100% single supplement fees.

While Carnival doesn’t particularly cater to solo travelers, it is a popular choice with some younger adults who are looking for a fun atmosphere. You can find out more in our best Carnival singles cruises .

These 8 cabins are great for travelers cruising alone

If you're new to cruising, you might not know that cabins on most ships are designed for a minimum of two people.

This means the lines expect each room to bring in revenue in the form of at least two cruise fares. If you choose to sail by yourself in a stateroom meant for two or more, you're almost always charged the double-occupancy rate (the fare for one person plus a "single supplement"), meaning you'll pay two full cruise fares even though it's just you in the room.

With solo cruising on the rise, cruise lines are beginning to take notice by adding accommodations for one to their newest ships. Some have even outfitted older vessels to offer accommodations for solo travelers. Although they can be pricey, single cruise cabins usually represent some savings versus what you'd pay for a voyage in a cabin meant for two.

These are the best types of cabins for solo cruisers to book across the major cruise lines.

Royal Caribbean's studio staterooms

Royal Caribbean boasts the most single cruise cabins of any line, with about half of the ships in its fleet housing at least two. However, the most impressive are Super Studio staterooms with balconies, found on Anthem of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Spectrum of the Seas and Odyssey of the Seas.

Reaching up to 199 square feet with 55-square-foot balconies, these cabins are outfitted with a mix of bedding types and plenty of space for one person.

Oceania's Concierge Level Veranda staterooms

Vista, Oceania Cruises ' newest ship, offers six 270-square-foot solo cabins. Dubbed Concierge Level Veranda staterooms, they all have balconies and entitle cruisers staying in them to Concierge Level amenities. This includes free laundry service, room service from the dining room menu, exclusive keycard-only access to the dedicated Concierge Lounge , priority embarkation and a complimentary bottle of Champagne.

The cabins also each include an ultraluxurious Tranquility memory foam bed, a seating area that overlooks a private balcony and ample storage space.

Oceania plans to add solo cabins to four more ships in its fleet in late September 2022. Each of the four vessels — Regatta, Nautica, Insignia and Sirena — will have 14 solo oceanview cabins.

Celebrity's Infinite Veranda solo rooms

Cruisers looking for a little bit more space on a line that falls somewhere between Royal Caribbean and Oceania will have luck with Celebrity Cruises ' Infinite Veranda solo cabins. Unlike traditional balconies, Infinite Verandas extend the overall square footage of the cabin, featuring a window that raises and lowers with the push of a button.

Passengers can find 16 of these 131-square-foot staterooms on Celebrity Edge, 24 on Celebrity Apex and 32 on Celebrity Beyond.

Norwegian Cruise Line's studio cabins

Norwegian was a forerunner in the solo accommodation space, introducing its studio cabins on Norwegian Epic in 2010. The rooms are on the small side at roughly 100 square feet. They're also insides on most ships, so there's no view. But, they're great if you're not planning to spend much time in your room. Plus, the lines new-builds will have a larger number of single cabins moving forward, as well as a larger variety of cabin types that include ocean view room with windows and balcony accommodations.

What's unique about NCL's studios is that they allow occupants access to the studio lounge, where they can meet other cruisers sailing alone and partake in daily snacks. Studio cabins are available on Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Encore , Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Bliss, Pride of America, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.

Cunard's oceanview Britannia Single staterooms

Three ships in Cunard 's fleet offer solo cabins, but only one — the iconic Queen Mary 2, which most often sails transatlantic voyages between London and New York — has 15 that feature ocean views. The line's Britannia Single staterooms are anywhere from 178 to 183 square feet in size, and they include large windows and single beds.

Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria each have nine single cruise cabins, but they're a mix of oceanviews and insides with no view at all.

Holland America's oceanview single cabins

From its Alaska itineraries to the impressive music scene on its newest vessels, Holland America might be more up your alley. In its lineup of accommodations, HAL includes 127- to 172-square-foot solo cabins on Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, Rotterdam and the new Ryndam.

Each of the single rooms on these ships has an ocean view and a twin bed.

Virgin Voyages' Solo Insider and Solo Sea View Cabins

Virgin Voyages is new to the cruise industry, but it knows what's up. Positioning itself as a hip anti-cruise line, it has built its vessels — Scarlet Lady , Valiant Lady and Resilient Lady — to include 46 cabins for single passengers, 40 of which are insides and six of which provide rare forward-facing views of the sea.

They're a bit small at just larger than 100 square feet, but these Solo Insider and Solo Sea View rooms are cleverly appointed with full-sized beds and sleek, stylish furniture, decor and bathrooms.

MSC's solo inside rooms for one

MSC Cruises has undertaken a shipbuilding boom, rapidly increasing the size of its fleet in a bid to make itself the largest cruise line (in terms of number of ships) by 2030. As the line's ships grow in size and amenities, they have begun to add cabins for solos. Currently, MSC Meraviglia , MSC Virtuosa, MSC Grandiosa and MSC Bellissima are outfitted with rooms for one.

However, they are all insides with a single bed and roughly 129 square feet of space.

Bottom line

Cruising solo may sound like a daunting feat, but many cruise lines are making it easier and more enjoyable. Here, I showed you my favorite solo cruise cabins. Each offers a unique experience for the solo cruiser that won't break the bank.

Holland America Line

Konningdam - single occupancy

Krazy Kruizers

The ship does have cabins for solo cruisers.

There are 12 of them on Main Deck -- all the way forward.

In trying to do a dummy reservation I found that one must specify a particular cabin rather than just cabin type as you can for inside cabin.

If you indicate on HALs booking site that you are booking for one person...then the single cabins come up - for example, 1020, 1015, etc. All the way forward on the Main Deck.

cruisemom42

They do have cabins for solos on the Koningsdam. I have one booked. :D

freestyling

Please let us know your thoughts about the single when you have completed your voyage. Thanks

The 12 cabins for solo passengers are ocean view -- not inside.

I did a dummy booking for June 2016 -- once I selected ocean view, the site asked me for a specific cabin. Typed that in -- could have had it if I wanted it.

Not a problem.

Thanks for the information. I guess I didn't try hard enough. I was able to do a dummy reservation by specifying a ocean view and was able to get one of the solo cabins.

Thanks everyone for that info. When I spoke to the future cruise person on Ryndam (and he gave me a set of the ships specs.) he didn't say a thing. That is why I brought it up. I have not had time to look them over, but now I see them. Good for HAL. (and its about time)

OK all I stand corrected!! hehe!!!

About time. Every cruise that we've been on always had solo cruisers. They always talked about having to pay single supplement, which adds a lot to the cost of a cruise. I'm sure this will be welcome news to all solo cruisers.

Allan & Marlane

take us away

If anyone sails in one of the single cabins - please take lots of photos and upload for HALFACTS so we can all see!

Sure -- keeping in mind it's still over a year away. ;)

On some cruise lines the solo cabins are almost the same price as having a regular cabin with the single supplement (sometimes the same or even more).

I'll have to try a dummy booking for the new ship and see how the prices compare.

Please post what you find.

Was curious about the pricing so did a dummy booking for the 12 Oct sailing with cabins next door to each other and what I found was:

Single cabin #1011 at $3541

Single occupancy cabin #1013 at $4508

Double occupancy cabin #1013 at $2729 each

Thanks for this. Interesting.

This looks like good news to all those single & solo cruisers. Hope in future new ship builds they include more single cabins.

I'm considering booking a solo oceanview cabin for the 4/15/16

sailing round trip Rome. What date did you book?

InTheWASide

so about a 30% markup as opposed to the 50-100% markup taking place on various categories at the present time... Not bad at all.

Thanks for taking the time to do a dummy booking for us.

EbayCruiser

Does anyone know when we will be able to book reservations for the U.S.? It arrives in November 2016 but couldn't find where you could reserve.

GeriatricNurse

Did you 'phone/email HAL to enquire? :confused:

I tried a couple of dummy bookings with fairly similar results (slightly smaller supplements). It took me awhile (HAL's website is not the easiest to try dummy bookings) to find one where the cabins were close to each other. Here is my latest result.

OV cabin 1024 - $1519 per person/double occupancy

OV cabin 1024 - $2430 single occupancy - 160% of above

OV cabin 1018(single cabin two away from 1024 and one of the largest single cabins)- $1899 - 125% of cabin 1024's pp/do rate

These figures were from the 31 July, 2016 7-day Viking Saga cruise.

^^That's not bad at all. At present I don't need single supplement, but my hubby isn't real big on vacations unless it leaves out of San Diego.

The 13 Best Solo Cruises for 2024 (No Supplement Fare)

W hether you're embarking on your first cruise alone or you've been on solo cruises before, single travelers will find more options than ever when it comes to cruising solo. Many cruise lines offer single staterooms with the same amenities as other cabins, at a price similar to what you'd pay with double occupancy fares. You'll also find special promotions where the single supplement fee is reduced or waived, making it more affordable to reserve a spacious stateroom or luxurious suite with even more amenities – including personalized butler service, an added perk of booking with many luxury lines .

You're probably already enrolled: How cruise loyalty programs make travel easier, cheaper

"Easy Travel” is a ten-part series focusing on how to reduce bumps during vacations, anticipate roadblocks and be ready when things aren’t going your way. If you'd like to contribute to our future reporting and share your experience as a source, you can click here to fill out this quick form .

When Barbara Van Elsen takes a cruise, she packs much less than she used to.

The 70-year-old has sailed her way to the fourth tier of Holland America Line’s Mariner Society loyalty program, which comes with complimentary laundry and pressing service on board, making it easier to travel light.

She has been cruising with the line since 2011 and has sailed for as long as six weeks at a time. Having an easy – and free – way to refresh her wardrobe throughout the trip makes a big difference.

“I always try to just do (a carry-on and small checked bag) if I have to take the plane to the ship, and it really helps a lot with that,” said Van Elsen, who lives in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Free laundry is one of many perks that come with cruise line loyalty programs, which can help streamline travel and save guests money – but not all programs are created equal.

What are the benefits of cruise line loyalty programs?

Cruise line loyalty programs offer members a variety of perks, from before guests board to the time they get off the ship. Each line’s program is different, but the benefits generally get better – and more plentiful – as guests move up the ranks.

Those may include priority embarkation and disembarkation or exclusive access to onboard lounges, according to Jared Feldman, owner of travel agency Jafeldma Travel. Van Elsen said she has received priority access to tender boats, saving her the hassle of a long wait at certain ports.

Passengers can also get amenities that typically cost extra for a lower price. For example, drinks may be included or discounted, which Feldman called “one of the most lucrative benefits,” and members can get deals on Wi-Fi.

Jason Wallace, 43, is an Emerald member of Royal Caribbean International’s Crown & Anchor Society, and said the perk he and his family uses most is a 50% discount on coffee drinks . “I mean, we all grab coffees every morning,” said the real estate agent from Joplin, Missouri, who has cruised often with his wife and two sons.

The line serves complimentary coffee at the main dining room and other venues on board, but premium coffees come at an extra charge (though the discount excludes Starbucks).

Guests may also receive access to reduced cruise fares and other offers unique to loyalty members, said Deborah Banks, a travel advisor and franchise owner at Cruise Planners with her husband Isaiah.

How to qualify for cruise line loyalty programs

Cruise lines typically enroll passengers automatically so they can start gaining loyalty status. “It’s not like you have to sign up for the program,” Banks said. “Most cruise lines, you sail with them one time and you automatically will become a member of their program.”

They are free to join, and guests accumulate loyalty points during each sailing, typically at a rate of one point per night for standard accommodations. “So, if I’m going on a seven-day sailing, I may accumulate seven points,” Banks said.

However, Feldman noted that passengers in “the equivalent of a junior suite or higher” generally earn twice as many points, as do solo travelers in double occupancy cabins who pay a single supplement. Each passenger in a stateroom is eligible to earn points.

The requirements to move up in status vary from line to line:

Carnival Cruise Line: Members of Carnival’s Very Important Fun Person Club start at Blue with their first sailing. They move up to Red with their second sailing and 24 points, Gold between 25 and 74 points, Platinum between 75 and 199 points, and Diamond at 200 points or higher.
Royal Caribbean: Crown & Anchor Society members start at Gold with 3 points and move up to Platinum with 30 points, followed by Emerald with 55 points. Guests can advance to Diamond once they hit 80 points, Diamond Plus at 175, and Pinnacle Club at 700.
Norwegian Cruise Line: The Latitudes Rewards Program begins with the Bronze tier at between one and 19 points, followed by Silver between 20 and 44, Gold between 45 and 74, and Platinum between 75 and 149. Members reach the Sapphire tier when they accumulate between 150 and 349 points, Diamond between 350 and 699, and Ambassador at 700 or higher.
Holland America: Mariner Society members start at the 1-star tier after completing their first cruise, and advance to the 2-star tier when they accrue 30 cruise day credits (each credit is equivalent to one overnight on board). Travelers reach the 3-star tier at 75 cruise day credits, 4-star at 200 cruise day credits, and 5-star at 500 cruise day credits.
Princess Cruises: The Princess Captain’s Circle begins with the Gold tier after guests take their first cruise. They reach Ruby after taking three cruises or sailing 30 cruise days, Platinum after completing five cruises or sailing 50 cruise days, and Elite after 15 cruises or 150 cruise days.

Unlike some other travel rewards programs, cruise line loyalty members don’t have to worry about renewing or earning their loyalty status for the following year, according to Feldman. “Once you attain a certain level, you’re that level for life,” he said.

Easy travel: Your ultimate road trip planner, from saving on gas to driving with kids

Are cruise line loyalty perks worth it?

Given how much sailing is required to reach the top tier on some lines, the biggest advantages of membership may seem far off for newer cruisers. While Feldman said some passengers are “intent to climb that ladder,” others would sail with a given line anyway.

Wallace, who has been on more than a dozen Royal Caribbean cruises, said if he compared the money he’s spent on sailings to what he’s saved as a loyalty member, it’s “probably not going to look great.” But it’s the good service and laid-back atmosphere that keep him coming back, and anything that makes the trip easier or saves him some money is just a bonus.

“I’m going anyway, so if I get things (out of it), that’s cool,” he said. “That makes me happy.”

Like to book solo stateroom on Koningsdam, but how? Solo staterooms are not listed. Please advise

Single cabins at last. But only 12?

Thank you HAL for the single cabins. I booked Passage to America. Would be nice to have a chair in the room as I like to read in quiet. Still the price is great so will find another place to read.

Solo cabin! Finally. Hope to make 500 days this voyage. Can hardly wait!! First time on an inaugural voyage. Any special mementos?

Will the ship remain in Europe or will you be moving it to the Americas also?

Very interesting that you took off any comment dealing with the size of the ship!

Our first trip wash in November 2013 with the Noordam to the Caribian for 21,days,and whe fall in love for cruising with the HOLLAND AMERIKA LINE,Our next trip is with the KONINGSDAM four 19 days ,(MY TRAVEL AGENT told me whe are the first with a booking from the NETHERLANDS FOR THIS TRIP) whe love this new ship,to the mediterenian ,whe hope the same top class services,.. like the Noordam ,but whe now its not a problem. Whe say in the Netherland when their is a new ship built and make his first trip ,BEHOUDEN VAART VOOR SCHIP EN BEMANNING. AND CONGRATULATIONS Holland Amerika line wtth this new SHIP ,i am aDUTCHMAN AND BE VERRY PROUD WITH THIS NEW SHIP.

I’m glad to hear that HAL will provide solo cabins on the Konigsdam. This is long overdue, and HAL should consider incorporating solo cabins into the refitting of their other cruise ships. Given the interest shown in this blog for solo cabins, I’m surprised that only 12 cabins are solo. Didn’t HAL do any marketing research on the demand for solo cabins?? There is a huge market out there!

Congratulations for the new ship … had a lot of memories with HAL …

Single cabins, FINALLY!

Booked for the Apr 16 cruise to Istanbul. Looking forward to sailing in this new ship. Had fun in 2008 with the Eurodam inaugural to Norway.

12 SINGLE CABINS!!!!!!!! Is that correct out 2650 people? Or is that supposed to be a joke.

Thank you for thinking of us singles. Paying double can be costly. Can’t wait to find out more on the cost and details.

Clever use of a mirror in the interior cabin to give the appearance of a window. Also better lighting.

Very pleased that HAL has thought of the singles, as nowadays there are more people like us yet we have to pay heavily on the supplements. I do like HAL.

Very interested in learning more about the single cabins and pricing.

We did the premier trip on the European and many other HAL trips. Love them all. We are doing the Princendam this Christmas

We did the “Eurodam” premier vojage in 2008. We did book also the first trip with the ‘KONINGSDAM” and hope it will be as good as our trip from Amsterdam. We also would like to know about a possible inauguration event like the one for the “Eurodam” in Amsterda 2008.

glad to hear about the single cabins.

it is my dream to make ones more a trip to sales by HAL I dit go in 2011 en 2012 bij norwegian but is was not so good, so if i had the money i go just for the last time, but i tink it is to expensif for my, if you can five my Sam time to pay you back in 24 monhts i wil go. I no it is not posible but so you get my point, tank you for you time. Pieter en Fanny brouwer from holland. We are 65 and 67 years old.

Very interested in booking on this beautiful ship. Would like a 2 week cruise preferable late spring or early fall. Bucket list a must. Love traveling with Holland America.

Looks great, so we just booked for the Premiere Voyage in febr 2016 out of Rome. We enjoyed the hospitality already on the MS Volendam to Alaska in 2012. Can’t wait ..

We took the Alaska Cruise but due to hurricane wind our trip was cut short to one destination. I’m so excited to try this new ship someday for my honeymoon. Congratulations to Ms Koningsdam!!!

Awesome would be in heaven if I was first to be on a ship like that.

would be wonderful to try this new ship she looks beautiful, we have only been on the Ryndam which we loved but she is coming to the end of her time with HAL.

Glad its sailing around Europe to start with, long haul flights from the UK are hard work for us. I would love to do the premier voyage or the second itinerary on the premier sailings. We have visited several of the ports on offer during previous cruises but that doesn’t matter to us, as long as we are sailing on a HAL ship we will be happy and a new ship would be just perfect.

My I joint whit your company

Interested in knowing more about the single staterooms. If there are veranda and the prices of all available.

I’m interested……..I will have to talk to my Family about a Mediterranean Cruise

we would love to be on the Premerie Voyage. We have been to the Antartica,two years ago. Very impressif. We where so lucky with the weather around Chrismas and New year. We can always look back on the c.d. if we want to. We will never forget that amazing trip.

very interested in single cabins

can’t wait for all the details.

We are looking for a family trip next year to celebrate our 50th anniversary. 7 adults, 3 children 8, 10 & 10.

Cannot wait to sail on her, Well done HAL.

looks amazing. Wish we could do a med cruise. It’s on my bucket list. Maybe one day!

Love the look of staterooms, a very beautiful ship. Hope to sail with it one day.

I am very excited that there are single occupancy rooms.

We would like to know when this ship will do a grand voyage cruise , we’ve done a 45day and a 69day on the Masdam , but that ship is so old it needs to be sunk..

In the Vista and Verandah SR’s it appears the TV is in an awkward position to be viewed from the couch? It looks like the best view is from the bed?

6o years married in 2016. Hopefully can arrange a cruise!

Would love to cruise the new ship. 60 years married in June 2016. Maybe we can arrange a cruise!

Looking forward to seeing what the price structure will be .

Booked for the first voyage !

Single cabin! Finally. ☺

Holland America Line

Cost of 'single person' in cabin?

For inside and outside cabins it's generally 150% of the double fare. For verandahs and suites it's usually 200% of the listed fare.

In general, the single supplement for an inside cabin is 50% more than the per person, double occupancy rate. Outsides are higher (90%, I believe) and veranda cabins are double.

So, if your mother-in-law and brother-in-law each want an inside cabin for themselves they will be paying three fares.

Have they considered the single share program? They would pay the per person, double occupancy rate and HAL would find a roomie. If HAL fails to get a roomie there is no additional charge.

I've done it three times for cruises of 33, 34, and 35 days. Twice it worked out very well. The third time I did not violate the "nothing overboard" rule. ;)

Solo Cruiser

Generally speaking, cruise ship cabin prices are based on double occupancy. When I cruise alone I pay the fare for 2 people in the cabin. Now, I don't have to pay port fees or tips for a second person but it still usually works out to: take the lowest price you find and double it.

I have only cruised in inside cabins and they have never had a negative impact on me. Placement of mirrors and lights make it seem larger and less confining than it probably really is.

Each line has it's own policy in regards to solo cruisers. HAL doesn't charge double fare for insides or outsides as most lines do. One big reason I look to cruise with them.

luvtravel- I suggest you go poke around some travel websites to see what the fares would be with two people in a room and with just one. As Ruth mentioned they do offer a single share program. There are no real discounted fares or cheap deals for solo travelers.

I checked an online booking engine for the last cruise of the season before the Noordam returns to NYC. An inside can be had for about $950 with a Mariner status. The per person fare is $642. These quotes include port and taxes.

This means, as others reported, a 50% single sup for an inside.

everyone for your replies and information....exactly what I needed to know! HAL sounds very fair with their 50% suppl. for inside and outside. Hope they decide to go and enjoy HAL like we all do. Thanks again.

As hammybee has done, it's very simple to go to the HAL site and price any cabin on any cruise of interest first as double occupancy and then as single occupancy.

I just tried it for a C cabin on my next cruise and came up with a 47% supplement.

And chances are the brother-in-law would probably wind up having the cabin to himself anyway ... since fewer men tend to cruise on their own. Chances are the mother-in-law, however, would probably get a roomie.

You are brave. Are you going to tell us a roomate from Hell story? I once worked in Thailand (many years ago). It was basically vounteer work (well not really, but Thai wages were about $5.00 per day). They provided room, breakfast, lunch (lunch is typical to workers), laundry and a maid in a PH of the office buildings. Anyway, they gave the guys their own rooms (well one from Japan brought along his wife and children), but decided to put me with some other women. She was a nut. Fortunately I only slept in the room there and there was other space in the PH.

I think that the "cost" is dependant on the type of cruise. My father in law is going to Alaska with my husband and I on the BIG "Z" in two weeks and he is a solo cruiser. His VA cabin cost the same as ours. No discount. Meaning HAL didn't want to lose any money on this very popular cruise.

Oh, and we are ALL Mariner status. (US= 40 days; FIL= 12 days)

Just thought I would throw this info out there. :)

Holland America Line charges 150% of the cabin cost and 150% of the port charges for category C - N. Verandah cabins are now 200% of the cabin cost and 200% of the port charges. The surcharge that is added to port charges is new this year.

OK, I went back and did some math. My TA had quoted me a per person rate and then doubled it. But the rate she quoted me to begin with was so good that even doubled it comes out to a substantial amount less than the single rate that HAL was charging for the same cruise. Since math is not my strong suit goodness knows :rolleyes: , I will just continue to go with "I'm so excited, I am going to go on a cruise for a price I can afford and have the bathroom to myself" theory LOL. Thanks for the information.
