Seven questions, in the order they actually matter. Every answer is measured from the fares we capture rather than repeated from a brochure.

Work out what one guest actually pays
NCL quotes per person assuming two share, and one guest pays more. How much more depends on the cabin, not on a rule: the middle Inside runs 59% above the two-sharing rate, the middle Haven 93%.
The single supplement, measured → -
If you are sailing alone, look at Studios first
A Studio is built and sold for one person, so it has no double-occupancy fare and no supplement at all. 1,832 of the sailings we track sell one.
Sailings with Studios, priced → -
Pick the ship before the itinerary
The 21 ships are not interchangeable: only 12 of them sell a Studio at all, and the cabin mix, the supplements and the home ports differ ship to ship. Each has a page with her cabins, her ports and her fares.

Check where she leaves from
40 ports in the sailings we track are somewhere a cruise actually begins — the list with a flight and a hotel night attached, rather than every port the fleet touches.

Read the port before you book anything ashore
62 ports have a researched guide: where the ship ties up, how long you really get, and whether the walk into town is a walk.

Decide how you are booking excursions
We have opened 6,054 independent tours one by one across 61 ports. 994 carry a return-to-ship guarantee, which is the only part of the decision that matters if the bus is late.

Find the people on your sailing
A roll call is the Facebook group for one specific departure. Every one we list has been opened and read first — we do not publish a link we have not seen.
