    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten February 2025

      On our cruise 17 May - 28 May 2025 British Isles & Faroes we have a classic suite that can be booked as a single cabin with a single supplement 1.7. At the moment, there is a Valentine's offer with 15% discount per person. The discounted price for a Classic suite is USD 7 051 per person. The total cost of a Classic suite for a single use is USD 11 987. Please be aware that there is only one last classic suite available on this cruise, therefore if you planned on booking this cruise, it is better to make a booking as soon as possible.

    Asked on May 12th, 2024

    Please advise single rates

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten May 2024

      You requested for single rates and we would like to reconfirm if you prefer a single cabin or can share a cabin with other female-passengers? If you prefer a single cabin, we have specially priced single suites for those travelers who would like to stay alone but don't want to pay the full single supplement. A single suite will cost 10,795 euros. This price is lower than other single cabin prices because this cabin is located close to the bow of the ship and it's window is usually shuttered on sea days. If you are willing to share a cabin, please let us know and we will send you more options.

      Heidi

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      What other criteria is considered besides gender for triple suite-share occupancy? Will they be matched with someone of similar age as well?

    • H

      Heidi

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      In case the triple room is unable to be occupied with two more solo travellers, will I have to pay additional?

    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten April 2024

      We can't include the post-cruise arrangements in our package. These arrangements can be purchased separately by the customer.

    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten April 2024

      We try to match passengers by their spoken language when there is an opportunity. We can't match passengers by their age because we don't ask it at the time of a booking.

    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten April 2024

      No, it's our job to fill in the cabins. If the triple suite will not be fully occupied, passengers will just have more space, not additional charges.

    Asked on April 7th, 2024

    Are there other departure dates? I'm interested in July, August, September.

    Tour Details
    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten April 2024

      Unfortunately, this particular itinerary implies a certain timeframe when we can operate it, the closest date being 19 May - 30 May 2024. In July, August, and September we explore Svalbard, Greenland, and Iceland.

  • T

    Tara

    Asked on April 2nd, 2024

    Is there an extra cost for single accommodation

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Poseidon ExpeditionsOperatorWritten April 2024

      We have two single suits aboard Sea Spirit. The regular cost of the single suite is USD 11 195. To answer your question, yes, a single cabin always costs more than a sharing cabin because you will not have any co-travellers in the cabin with you. Our last minute offer allows you to book a single cabin at a half price - USD 5 598!
