Liveaboards with single cabins?

[scubaNYC16]

Me too but that’s not an option yet thru Jakarta.

Blue Manta just 10% single supplement.

Wow!

Wow!

They only allocate a few cabins for single supplement on each trip, I believe - but a great deal if you get one!

Hell yeah, I'm going on Solitude One to Tubbataha in June and the SS is 80%
Obviously I'm going to share with a stranger at that price lol

Thanks - I plan to arrive the day before, if at all possible, to be safe and stay at the Swiss-belhotel.

@Joneill In terms of routing, if you want to avoid a red eye flight from Jakarta to Sorong, you could consider flying Jakarta to Manado and then spending a few days (or more if your schedule & budget allow) in the area for muck diving before continuing on to Sorong.

Thanks - that would be tough as I’m pretty maxed out on vacation time for 2022: Aruba in June, Fiji in August, Truk Lagoon in October and the Raja Ampat December trip. Might be a thought for the back-end of the trip, though…

I'm trying to make a final decision between Resolute and Solitude One for the June 4 trip. What made you decide on the Solitude One?

I've replied to your PM mate.

What liveaboards are out there that have single cabins (or very low single supplements)?

If you're diving in the Maldives, Carpe Novo has a pair of very nice single cabins.

I'm surprised that the single supplement is not higher on some boats. It's a direct indicator of how likely they feel they will fill the boat so at this point, I'm not surprised it is lower but if we escape COVID hell I expect it to increase.

I've went solo on several trips and never paid a single supplement, getting a room to myself about 1/3 of my trips.

Renting an apartment in SF Bay Area equivalent to the room pictures shown would probably be $3K a month. If it had the view it has, more.
