Prices are dependent on when you travel (it's called a bucket pricing system) and how many accommodations are left in the category selected, and the differences can be considerable. I priced one person for early October and got the following prices:
Coach Seat Minimum: $288 (no meals)
Sleeping from low of: $714 (meals included)
Sleeping to high of: $1033 (meals included)
All include vehicle cost
BTW, the scheduled travel time is 17 hours and 30 minutes. They do a good job of keeping to schedule since it's a non-stop trip with little commercial traffic to slow them down.
Also, if a second person is added, one needs to be able to climb to an upper bunk or birth, with the possible exception of a Family Room.
Here is a virtual tour of sleeping accommodations:
