A single trip is usually much more expensive and for a return trip with a family of 4 people with a car, you will quickly pay a total of around €700. For this you will get two nights on board and you no longer have to rent/book at location. Generally, the earlier you book, the cheaper it is. In addition, there are sometimes offers that you can take advantage of.
