In travel news for June 29, 2022 we have news from Celebrity Cruises, Viking Cruises, and a holiday update from Disney World.
Celebrity Cruise Drops Single Supplement
Celebrity Cruises will be waiving the “single supplement” on over 275 sailings. For those that may not know the single supplement is an additional price for single passengers aboard a cruise ship. Most cruise lines price based on double occupancy for a room, a single person in a room would loose the cruise line money. To make up for this they will usually add a fee to single travelers of anywhere from 10% to 100% of the base fare. Single travelers can now enjoy sailing on celebrity Cruises through March 30 next year for no additional cost. The promotion is combinable with other sales.

Walt Disney World's Holiday Plans
Walt Disney World has shared some of their winter holiday plans as part of their Halfway to the Holidays Celebration. Some of the highlights include Santa joining in on Mickeys Once Upon a Christmas Parade, with of course complimentary hot cocoa and cookies. Santa will also make appearances throughout Disney properties such as Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and other locations throughout the park. Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party will return to the Magic Kingdom for 24 nights between November 8 and December 22. These are just a few of the winter festivities, reach out to us or your Travel Advisor for more information about Disneys winter plans.
Viking Cruise Changes Their Name
Viking Cruises is dropping the word “cruise” from their name. The company feels that people associate the big ship cruise experience with the word. Viking offers river cruises, and small ship ocean cruises with unique destinations, excursions, and experiences. While many cruise lines try to be all things to all people, Viking is niche company. Their target audience is usually older, inquisitive, and thoughtful, wanting a more in depth connection to where they are sailing. Often Viking will have what they call “cultural Enrichment” lectures on the local culture and culinary offerings.
