Singles Cruise Vacations

Published: February 19, 2007
Singles cruise is perfect for those cruising for singles. Rather than searching out singles at a local bar, speed dating, or surfing the Internet, try a vacation to meet singles. People tend to be more relaxed and at ease on vacation, making it easier to really get to know someone. Doesn't that sound better than the old-fashioned, stressful methods of meeting others? It doesn't just sound better - it is better.
Singles cruise vacations vary by length of trip, activities, price, and ports of call.
It makes sense that the trips are specialized to meet the needs of any single person – everyone has different backgrounds, beliefs, and interests, that should be taken into consideration when going on a singles cruise vacation. Before booking a trip, it would be a good idea to know what preferences another single person would need to have to be ideal. This knowledge will make looking for a singles cruise vacation a lot easier and more fun.
There are as many different cruise ships for singles to choose from as there are singles to meet. Religious affiliation-based cruises are an excellent way to meet others with the same beliefs and ideals, while hobby-oriented cruises focus on what singles really love to do. For example, a photography, wine and food, culinary, or a wellness cruise might be the perfect fit. Want to meet singles over a certain age? There are many age-based cruises available. Large cruise operators such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and Crystal have singles events on every voyage.
Singles Cruise, the largest singles cruise operator in the U.S., has many cruise ships for singles listed on their website. Cruising the crystal clear Caribbean for seven days will range from $700-900. The prices are best in February and March, around $700, then they get closer to $900 in April. A seven night cruise to the Mexican Rivera or to see the Fall Foliage in Canada will be around $700.
Cruise Mates has a cruise calendar showing all scheduled singles cruises for the year. This site is perfect for a beginner in the process. Each listing gives a short paragraph of the type of singles cruises given by each company and then a list of dates and a few specifics about the singles cruise. Booking through a travel agent is advised if a choosing a cruise that is not singles only, so that any special requests are noted and followed through such as a Gentleman Host, dining requests, or shore excursion partners.
Once a cruise line and date has been settled, there will be a few questions about what to do next. Cruise operators understand that there might be some nervous, butterfly-ridden stomachs, and are prepared to help make travelers comfortable from the start of their vacation. Some vacationers travel solo, others with single friends. Singles cruise ships are set to accommodate both. Solo Cruiser offers an interactive roommate finder and has options for those not wishing to share a room. Many cruise lines have online forums established so that singles can begin to meet before the ship leaves the harbor. This is a great amenity - knowing a few people at the first social function will make the singles cruise more enjoyable.
Now the planning is done and the fun begins. Singles cruise vacations offer so many wonderful opportunities to meet people. Take advantage of the on-board and shore activities, utilize any message boards or forums before the cruise, meet interesting people, see new sights, relax and recharge. Enjoy your vacation!
