Celebrity Millennium does not have designated solo occupancy cabins onboard, and generally does not have reduced single supplements if you wish to travel solo. Since cruise fares are marketed as per person, double occupancy, a solo traveler will pay for the entire cabin minus the taxes for the second passenger.

We suggest if you’re interested in attending solo, that you post your interest in the various social media groups focusing on bourbon and whiskey and see if you can find someone with whom to share your cabin.

We know not everyone is a whiskey enthusiast, and we wanted to make it less expensive for those not participating in the expo events. So if your traveling companion/partner/spouse/family doesn’t want to take part in the seminars or tastings, they aren’t charged the fee.

The expo fee is $75 per participant. This covers the administration costs for the logistics surrounding the event, and the costs for the tastings, seminars, etc. At least one person in each cabin must pay the expo fee.

There is a whole ship for them to enjoy while you are in seminars! We want to include them as much as possible, so they may still attend the cocktail parties, whiskey pairing lunch, and Key West Bar Crawl, but they will not be served the featured brands. Onboard the ship, they can be a part of the group dining in the evenings and can use their included beverage package to order the drinks of their choice in any of the venues, but in the case of the Key West Bar Crawl, they will have to purchase their beverages separately.

Within a week after booking, you will be emailed a link to the expo fee payment page.

The Expo Fee is non-refundable* and must be purchased within 30 days of cabin deposit.

*In the event the sailing is cancelled by Celebrity, full refund of the Expo Fee will be given.
