 Cruises are one of the best ways to meet people, yet up to now cruises for singles were quiet expensive. Prices are often 150 to 200% more than the double occupancy.
Things are about to change! Norwegian Cruise Line just announced a completely new concept to make cruising more attractive to solo travelers on the company’s largest and most exciting Freestyle Cruising ship to date, the Norwegian Epic, launching this July.
Each Studio stateroom, at approximately 100 square feet of living space, features a contemporary design with a full-size bed and separate areas for the bathroom, sink and shower. There is also a flat screen TV and small desk.
These Studios cabins will have private access to the exclusive Studio Lounge. Here, guests can have a cup of coffee, kick back, watch their favorite show or sporting event on the big screen tvs, or have a drink before dinner. Since many of the Studio staterooms are connecting, there is also the opportunity for friends to travel together, while giving each their own private space.
Great concept, but is 100 square feet big enough? Probably not, if your claustrophbic, but if you want to meet people and spend very little time in your cabin, it’s a great option. The cabin will have a window where you can see out to the corridor, but others cannot see in.
Currently no other cruise line sailing in the Caribbean waives the single supplement charge on all sailings. Some do offer it on select sailings, while Holland America Line does offer a cabin “share” program to match single travelers, but then you have to be willing to room with someone you don’t know in order to save money on the cruse fare, leaving these studio cabins as the best option out there for single cruisers.
These specially designed and priced Studio staterooms available on all of Norwegian Epic’s sailings – with no single supplement – go on sale Monday, January 18, 2010.

 Adult guests who purchase a POSH pass for the day or the week, will take a private glass elevator to enter this luxurious and exclusive outdoor entertainment complex styled with Mediterranean flare. During the day, guests can lounge on white-cushioned day beds and in private cabanas and cool off in the 35-foot long cascading waterfall while the POSH VIP Host and crew cater to every whim.
At night, things heat up as POSH Beach Club becomes an open air night club, complete with VIP bottle service, while the DJ sets the vibe for the non-stop party. Four POSH experiences a day are delivered:
- Early Morning (6 to 9 am)– POSH Vive
Guests awake to yoga classes and body-and-soul treatments in private cabanas as the sun rises and the day starts anew.
- Morning (9 to Noon am) – POSH Rehab
Guests can relax and recover from a night out with Salty Dogs, Bloody Mary’s, and mimosas combined with chill out tunes.
- Afternoon (Noon to 6 pm) – POSH Sol
The best nightlife in the daytime with guests lounging on day beds, enjoying funky beach music and spiked POSH snow cones while chilling under a lit waterfall.
- Evening (8 pm to whenever) – Pure POSH
A pure, sizzling, sexy, nightlife experience where guests enjoy sparkling drinks and bottle service served on silver trays. Look out Vegas, the vibe here is hot — guests can dance all night under the stars or lounge on a POSH bed.

 Inspired by the original ice bars and ice hotels in Scandinavia and one of only 14 ice bars in the world, the cruise industry’s first true ice bar is the ultimate chill. This frozen chamber of iced vodka is set in changing hues of blue, green and purple LED lighting that simulates the Northern Lights and creates a distinctive arctic atmosphere. The centerpiece is a giant ice cube that glows and changes colors as the hottest techno beats add to the energy of this unique nightlife attraction.
In addition, NCL’s Ice Bar features a bar, walls, tables, stools, glasses and life-size sculptures all made from ice. Located on deck seven, Ice Bar will accommodate 25 guests who will be given fur coats, gloves and hats to keep them warm, since the room’s temperature will not rise above 17 degrees Fahrenheit – creating the ultimate chill. To enter, guests will pay a cover charge with a drink or drinks included.
