shared cabin

Split sleeping space

A shared cabin is accommodation where unrelated travelers occupy the same sleeping quarters, typically on cruise ships or in hostels.

Unlike private cabins booked by families or groups, shared cabins pair strangers to split costs: Solo cruisers can book a shared cabin to avoid the single supplement.

The arrangement assumes basic compatibility—usually same-gender assignments.
