ClevelandKid Posted February 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Greetings all, We have a friend who has expressed an interest in joining the spouse and I on an Alaska cruise. I want to be able to give her some options - of course finding someone to go with is best, but if not, then how does Viking price out a single occupancy cabin? Obviously more than the DO per person rate, but do you pay the full DO rate, or is there a percentage that is used to price out a single occupancy? Thanks!

wheredowegonext Posted February 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi ClevelandKid; You’ve hit on my one and only criticism of Viking - 100% single supplement. I am a solo traveler, and to cruise with Viking I have to “buy” the entire stateroom, in other words pay as if I were two people. I do not want to share a cabin with someone I’m not related to, so I have had to find other companies to whom to give my business. I have heard that there are occasional specials with Viking, but I’ve yet to find one. Good luck to you and your friend! Cynthia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandKid Posted February 4, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks! Finding a second person seems to be the best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted February 6, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2021 FWIW, one can sometimes get a 150% single occupancy cost. This was the cash when my DMIL sailed with us on the March 2019 transatlantic. As I recall, this offer was included in a promo email relatively last minute-December for a March embarkation. The same emailed promotion was offering “free” air and a one category upgrade so obviously they were trying to sell out the ship (and succeeded). However, I seem to recall reading elsewhere on this board that some have been successful by asking for a discounted single supplement. As my Daddy used to say, “if you don’t ask, you don’t git”. LOL good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
