I would like to book this one, can you please confirm that the price is for a solo cabin?

We are excited to start the planning phase with you and are happy to answer any questions. For these trips we do not typically offer single supplements as there are very limited cabins available onboard and our max group size is only 16 people. The current price that has been quoted for you is for a twin share, and you would be paired with another solo of the same gender. However, if you did want to book a single supplement we would have to reserve an entire cabin for you so the cost would be just under double the published rate as you will be taking up 2 spaces.
