  • T

    Taylor

    Asked on December 28th, 2025

    Does it say if there's an option of single supplement or finding roommate?

    Single supplement
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten December 2025

      There is a single room supplement option. That would be GBP 3495 to guarantee you a single room & cabin throughout the trip. If you would prefer to share a room, then we can record that request, and if we get another single female traveller wanting to share then we would pair you up. We do that in order of booking. However, if we didn't get a room share for you, then the single supplement would be payable.
