double occupancy

Room for two

Double occupancy describes a hotel room or cabin priced for two guests sharing the space: The cruise package is $899 per person, double occupancy.

Travel pricing often assumes two people will split a room, making single travelers pay a supplement.

The term appears constantly in hotel and cruise advertising, where it signals the base rate rather than the total cost.
