Coral Expeditions has added a new “Solo Share” program to complement its existing offering of Solo Supplement, Solo Standby and the Solo Specials, which have been long-standing options for guests.
Under the new Solo Share scheme, any guest can secure a booking in a twin cabin at a single rate with no additional supplement to pay. Guests must be willing to share the twin room with another guest of the same gender. This program allows guests to secure travel immediately, with no more waiting for a potential room share match to be made. Guests will be notified of share guest confirmation and introduced prior to departure. If no match is made with another single, guests will travel alone on the single rate. This program is available immediately for bookings.

Existing Solo Traveller programs are as follows;
- Solo Supplement – offers a dedicated inventory of staterooms on every departure that can be booked by Solo Travellers with a supplement, allowing them to secure their travel alone at the time of release.
- Solo Standby – allows guests to book a single occupancy cabin with no supplement fare if there is availability within 30 days of the cruise departure. Subject to management approval.
- Solo Specials – Coral Expeditions will regularly update the website and Facebook community with reduced supplement or no supplement specials when released in the sailing schedule. No-sol0-supplement offers are available on multiple itineraries for 2023 including some of the most popular voyages;
