It is not always possible to find a partner to accompany you for a cruise vacation. So, instead of going on a cruise vacation all alone, it is better to join one of the many singles cruise vacations that are organized by tour operators. These singles cruise vacations have only single people on the cruise who have come to have a good time and to meet new people.
Different cruise lines offer different singles cruise vacation packages; there may be black singles cruise vacations, Christian singles cruise vacations, or maybe Jew single cruise vacations. The reason for this theming is so that singles of a similar category get to mix and know each other. So before you actually join a singles cruise vacation, it is better to check out these specialty cruises.
One of the benefits of a singles cruise vacation is that you will not be penalized by the cruise line. Most of the cruise liners tend to penalize the single traveler by making them pay more than half the amount a couple has to pay for a cruise. This rule is usually applies to hotel rooms too. However, on a singles cruise vacation, nothing of the sort occurs; the solo passenger stands to save money on these vacation packages.
These cruises provide many activities for the solo passenger to enjoy. There are introductory cocktail parties, games, icebreakers and get-togethers. Some cruise vacations even organize wine tastings and group shore excursions. With these activities, the singles get to meet each other and get to know each other on a social basis. However, those who don’t actually want to meet others have other amenities to keep them busy like swimming pools, Jacuzzis, elegant dining, spas, etc.
