A Short History of the Singles Cruise

Many people will not be surprised to learn that cruising has become the vacation of choice for many single people. Being single and joining a singles cruise does not necessarily imply that you holiday completely independently in the hope that you will meet others; while this may be an avenue taken by some, plenty of singles take cruises with groups of similarly single friends to share the fun experience. Why cruise when single? It makes sense that a cruise vacation is preferred by many single people. Cruising is so often a social type of holiday during which you have the opportunity to take part in many different adventures and pursuits and meet new people. On a cruising holiday, there are many excellent opportunities to meet other singles â€" perhaps at dinner, at drinks occasions, by the pool, in the nightclub or on a day expedition. The great thing about a singles cruise is that while having an incredibly enjoyable time, the context is perfect for making new friends and having a whole lot of fun away from the rigmarole of everyday life. Before you cruise: organise travel insurance! As with any holiday, it is very important that you are organised before departure and ensure that you have all the documentation and protection needed to give you a safe and fun holiday. Travel insurance is incredibly important when taking a holiday outside of Australia and, while you may rightly believe that nothing unpleasant, untoward or dangerous is likely to occur as part of your cruising holiday, you can never know this for sure. It is far better to have travel insurance cover in place than to regret not taking out an appropriate policy or having to pay exorbitant sums and being incredibly stressed and inconvenienced in the event that something unexpected does happen. There really is no reason not to take out adequate insurance, particularly when so many cheap travel insurance policies are available, offer flexibility to meet your needs and match with the type of holiday you will have. Added to this, travel insurance can be easily purchased â€" online, over the phone or via travel agents â€" and so the time and effort required to prepare for your holiday in this way is negligible and well worth the investment. Back to the singles cruise… Of course, cruises have been a popular type of holiday for many years. However, it seems that the image of the cruising holiday has had a complete overhaul; no longer only the domain of the retired or families, all sorts of people opt in for cruising holidays because of the variety, value, service, convenience and breadth of experience they provide. Singles cruises have grown markedly in popularity since the early 1990s. Since this time, a strong history of success in delivering a fun holiday experience that is professional, high quality and great value for money, has been created. Singles cruises of varying duration, to highly desirable locations and offering a range of activities have been specifically created to appeal to the desires of the target market. Forget the clichés: The fact that singles cruises have been popular for at least two decades proves that this style of holiday is relevant to single people and eliminates many of the stereotypes of single cruises. These misconceptions include: Singles cruises are all about ‘getting intimate’. While this may be the case for some, far more people do not join a cruise with sexual intimacy as their main intention. A greater majority of singles choose a cruise in order to have fun, relax and make friends. People go on singles cruises in an attempt to meet a ‘soulmate’. Naturally, some singles would like to meet Mr or Mrs Right on their cruise, but most view this possibility as a bonus rather than an expectation. Many more people are delighted to form new friendships and enjoy the company of others without the pressure of searching for a life partner. In fact, many choose a singles cruise to avoid travelling alone and because they want a holiday that presents them with different experiences than they would have when travelling with friends who are ‘coupled up’. Singles cruises are an increasingly popular form of holiday and are a great way for single people to make new friends, share fabulous experiences and have a lot of fun with like-minded others.
