      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Could you please answer my question about if possible to have 3 people travel in 1 room and I need price in dollars for extension

    • Explore!OperatorWritten April 2025

      Solaris has triple rooms so you could have 3 people sharing a triple room on the Solaris - subject to availability. on the Amazon Extension you would have to have 1 twin and 1 single room - we do not offer triple rooms on the Amazon Extension. the cost of the Amazon extension in dollars is USD 1770 sharing a twin room or USD 2010 in a single room.
