      TravelerWritten February 2024

      So if I go with someone what would be the cost of the trip? I am confused that the cost is more money when going solo. Please clarify.

    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten February 2024

      If you want to share a room with other travelers of the same gender, a twin-share room costs $4,250.00 per person. A single room is more expensive than other room types because it has an additional single supplement.
