Carnival will debut two new shows aboard the Carnival Panorama, set to embark on its maiden voyage on December 11. "Rock Revolution" is a concert-style show inspired by the Woodstock music festival of 1969, but it adds the high-tech twist of "dancing drones" that will fly throughout the theater and interact with the performers and the music. The second production, "Broadway Beats," follows a troupe of entertainers through New York's neighborhoods as they perform some of Broadway's greatest hits, with hyper-realistic LED screens depicting signature sights like the Manhattan skyline, subway cars and street art.

The 4,008-guest Panorama is the first new Carnival ship in 20 years to homeport on the U.S. West Coast. It will cruise weeklong Mexican Riviera itineraries from Long Beach, California. Onboard attractions include the first Sky Zone indoor trampoline park at sea, an onboard brewery and a new ChooseFun WaterWorks aqua park.

On Sunday, the brand-new Sky Princess will launch in Europe. After a series of Mediterranean cruises, the Princess ship will cross the Atlantic and arrive in Fort Lauderdale on December 1 for its U.S. debut. The 3,660-passenger vessel will sail seven- and 14-night Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale through early April 2020, calling at ports like Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, Roatan and Princess' private beach retreat, Princess Cays.

The ship has a no-kids Sanctuary with more private cabanas than previous Princess vessels, Movies Under the Stars, infinity-style pools and top-deck Sky Suites that boast the largest balconies in the fleet.

It also features the line's MedallionClass experience, which provides more personalized service thanks to OceanMedallion technology. The wearable OceanMedallion device is about the size of a quarter and performs an array of useful functions during your cruise, like unlocking your cabin as you approach or allowing you to order beverages on demand and have them delivered anywhere on the ship.

Oceania and Regent are introducing their own spa concepts to ships this winter, replacing the Canyon Ranch spa operations that have been on board. The programs for both lines present a multilayered approach to wellness on and off the ship, encompassing spa treatments, fitness classes, one-on-one personal training, healthy and flavorful menu choices and wellness-based shore excursions.

Oceania will roll out the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center to all six of its ships by January 22, 2020. Rejuvenating treatments include Himalayan salt stone massages, while the main restaurants will feature items like roasted butternut squash with arugula, mango, black radish and hearts of palm. On shore, guests can get a reflexology session on a rice barge on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok or pair a yoga class with a gourmet lunch at a boutique winery in Chile's Valparaiso region.

Regent draws spa techniques and ingredients from its sailing regions for the globally inspired Serene Spa & Wellness. For example, sea buckthorn -- a shrub harvested on the Mediterranean coast -- is combined with rosemary and sea fennel for the Regent Massage. Ashore, guests can soak in a mineral-rich thermal spring in Rome or join a tai chi class on a beach in Palma de Mallorca. Serene Spa & Wellness will be aboard all five Regent ships by February 6, 2020.

If you're thinking of taking a cruise and traveling solo, you probably already know that cruise lines charge an extra fee for an individual booking a cabin intended for two. Typically, the cruise line starts with the per-person rate based on double occupancy and adds 50% to 100% to the price for a single traveler -- the dreaded single supplement.

The good news? Vacations To Go has found or negotiated low or no single supplements on many prime cruise departures. These great solo deals are updated daily and listed here. Click here to see our Singles Discounts ticker now.
