Norwegian Cruise Line has implemented a no-single-supplement policy for its solo staterooms, which means that solo travelers can enjoy an expensive cruise without paying extra for single occupancy.

Cruise Experience for Families Today, families looking for a luxurious yet affordable vacation can find cruise tailored to their specifications. The Icon of the Seas and Independence of the Seas from Royal Caribbean keep their guests busy with the vast entertainment of waterslides and kids clubs on offer so that the grown-ups have fun too. Also, there are family suites and connecting rooms offered by many cruise lines to assure that families can stay together throughout the cruise. With these suites, families get a few extra perks like priority boarding and access to particular amenities that provide a little much-needed privacy for families on a cruise. Romantic Escapes for Couples Couples seeking a romantic getaway can choose from a variety of luxury cruise options providing intimacy and personalized service. Cruise lines such as P&O run adult-only ships with gourmet dining and live music-the perfect settings for romance. There is an array of spa treatments, private experiences, and fine dining possibilities on offer from many cruise lines-wined and dined, and couples can enjoy great company while relaxing in a luxurious setting. Solo Travelers: Embracing Luxury at Sea For a long time, solo travelers could only ever count on budget accommodation. Cruise lines are now awakening to growing demand for solo travel and hold offers just for solo cruisers. One is Aqua Expeditions, allowing solo travelers to explore the world's most bio-diverse of culturally significant locales aboard chic small ships, with no single supplements on selected 2024 and 2025 departures. Also, Silver Sea Cruises intends to reduce costs for independent travelers through the 'Silver Solo' program, which features cabins specially designed for solo cruisers with single supplements set at 25% on selected voyages.

Nebraska decides not to charge sales tax that would have hurt advisors
There will be no new sales taxes on travel packages in Nebraska, including travel advisors' professional fees. Senators in the state had initially sought to remove the state's sales tax exemption on "nonessential" goods and services to offset a decrease in property taxes, according to ASTA. That would have resulted in a sales tax of up to 7.5% on travel sold in the state. • Related: ASTA celebrates a legislative win in Louisiana As an example, the Society said, a $3,500 cruise vacation would be subject to a $262 tax. ASTA activated a grassroots campaign with advisors in the state who called and emailed their legislators, expressing the concern that travelers would simply seek an out-of-state advisor to book their travel instead of paying the tax. ASTA attributed its victory in Nebraska to those efforts alongside its lobbying work. Jessica Klement, ASTA's vice president of advocacy, said the tax would have had "serious financial consequences for both Nebraska travelers and travel advisors. "Nebraska legislators narrowly averted driving all travel booking from their state and harming small Nebraska businesses with this unfair and misguided proposal," Klement added. "I applaud the efforts of the travel advisors in Nebraska to successfully fight against this sales tax, protecting both consumers and their small businesses."
