Some people are tempted to think that as a solo traveler you pay more, but with Storylines, the opposite is true, a solo traveler actually gets a better deal than a double, let us explain

A typical residence might look like this on an annual basis
Zero PAX = $54,518
Solo PAX = $66,485
Two PAX = $81,080

What this shows is that to keep a residence vacant costs $54,518 which covers crew, insurances, fuel, etc, as all the costs still continue regardless if you are onboard or not.

It is just an additional $11,967 for a solo resident to come onboard or an additional $26,562 for a couple. There are no 75% singles loadings or anything like that. This is a fairer model, designed for everyone.

Below are the updated annual fee rates for children onboard the Narrative.

Age = Assessment fee

<13 = $15,000
14-17 = $20,000
18+ are considered adults and fall under the typical pricing structure

For a full breakdown of the package, inclusions see the page The Inclusive Life.

Annual assessments are determined in line with inflation and carefully calculated to accommodate shipboard operational, shoreside operational, and support costs of the vessel. Full insurance costs and emergency reserves have also budgeted to accommodate unforeseen mechanical failures.

Fuel is the largest cost that is out of our control, and although global fuel costs fluctuate, Storylines’ unique slower style of cruising, spending many more days in port, and 12-month, advance fuel purchase contracts all work together to reduce any impact this could have.  

Storylines reserves the right to require a special assessment for special circumstances.

Assessments are paid in advance, with the first nine months of assessments paid six months prior to sailing for provisioning and service of crew on the lead up to sailing.
Assessments will always be kept 3 months in advance.

Thereafter, payments for assessments are due at the beginning of each quarter. All financial information once sailing will be handled via your resident APP and available to you 24/7.

Annual assessments are based on double occupancy, but priced per person. Single occupants receive an 18% discount off the total double-occupancy assessment.

Assessments are annual fees which are calculated to cover a number of shipboard and shoreside operational costs even when the vessel is not underway.
