  • B

    Barry

    Asked on July 26th, 2026

    I would like a price without sharing a room. I am a solo traveler.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

      On board the Grand Daphne we have a few different cabin categories that I will outline below with the single supplement costs and total pricing.

      The below two cabin categories can be shared with another solo traveller or you can purchase the single supplement to get the cabin to yourself:

      Upper deck twin/double - $8320.00 USD sharing basis / + $7400.00 USD single supplement fee = $15,720.00 USD total cost

      Lower deck twin - $7705.00 USD sharing basis / + $6785.00 USD single supplement = $14,490.00 USD total cost

      Single supplement would be mandatory for either of these double cabins as we cannot put solo travellers together in double cabins:

      Main deck double suite - $8730.00 USD + $7810.00 single supplement = $16,540.00 USD total cost

      Lower deck double - $7705.00 USD + $6785.00 USD single supplement = $14,490.00 USD total cost

  • C

    Carla

    Asked on December 30th, 2025

    Can you please tell me if you have any cabins left on your 17 Feb sailing to Galapagos?

    Price / Availability
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2026

      Sadly our Feb 17 date is all booked up :( Are your dates flexible? I can check other departures to see if there's availability!

  • B

    Ben

    Asked on September 11th, 2024

    I would like to know if the price per person I see is also valid booking for one person only or there are additional charges.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2024

      Price per person in a Lower Deck Twin is EUR €5,508. You can share a twin or triple room with travellers of the same gender, or a twin or double room with someone you're travelling with. Want your own room? Choose a twin or double room and we'll contact you to pay an additional cost to make it your own. Please note, there's limited availability, so we'll do our best to accommodate you.

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      Do I understand correctly you are holding the trip booking for 48 hours?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2024

      We typically are able to hold spots for 48 hours as long as we have the availability, However, it looks like you are interested in the 17SEP2024 departure which is too close for us to place a hold on, our apologies.
