    Asked on April 12th, 2026

    What's the price difference for a private room if there's only one person?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • We do not have availability for single private rooms on this tour, all our private room options are sold out. If there was availability the cost thereof would be 1779.00 USD.

    • A

      Annette

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      What if he wants to book a double room so he can stay by himself and not have to share? How much would that cost?

    • A

      Annette

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      You mentioned that private room options are sold out, but also indicated you could "request a room for the guest" at the cost of $1,779 USD, provided the tour is booked. Could you clarify — is this $1,779 the cost for a single traveler occupying a double room alone (sole occupancy of a twin/double), separate from the base tour price? Is this sole occupancy option actually available for the June 20 departure, or is it also subject to availability like the private room? To confirm: if my client books the tour, you would formally submit a request to your team to ensure he is not paired with another traveler in his room — and the $1,779 covers that guarantee?

    • While the standard My Own Room (single supplement) option is currently sold out for the June 20 departure, we may still be able to submit a request for sole occupancy on your client's behalf once the booking is confirmed. The $1,779 USD refers to the single supplement cost, which would allow your client to occupy a twin/double room on their own (i.e., no roommate). This cost is in addition to the base tour price. This option is not guaranteed at this stage and remains subject to availability. Upon booking, we would formally request this with our operations team. If confirmed, the supplement would ensure your client is not paired with another traveller. If having a private room is essential, we recommend booking as soon as possible so we can submit the request and advise on confirmation.
