Planning a Singles Cruise

Planning a Singles Cruise
Open yourself up to a new and exciting opportunity by going on a singles cruise. Singles cruises offer a way to meet new people. When planning such a cruise, do your research and know which cruise line to choose. Pick a cruise line whose amenities fit your personality. You don't have to travel alone on a singles cruise. Bunking with someone else will often lower the price of the room.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:
  • Travel agent Internet access
  • Travel agent
  • Internet access
Step 1
Find cruise lines that offer exclusive singles packages. Some cruise lines will charge you more money if you want a room meant for a couple. Compare the deals and prices of cruises on lines that sell singles packages.
Step 2
Book a cruise with friends. Cruise lines often offer discounts for groups, and you won't feel out of place by bringing along your single friends.
Step 3
Decide which cruise line suits your tastes. Cruise lines often offer themes. For instance, a cruise line may offer a fitness cruise for individuals who enjoy exercising. Choose a theme that matches your personality. You may not have fun on a cruise whose theme doesn't fit you.
Step 4
Select a cruise that offers a nonstop trip or one with stops. Stops along the way give your more to do if you go on a cruise with friends, while a cruise that does not stop gives you more time to meet people. Research the ports or countries where the cruise stops to get an idea of places you might meet other cruise members with similar interests.
Step 5
Find out the age limit of the cruise. Cruises often offer special services to people over 40, and you do not want to be the youngest person on board.
Step 6
Locate a travel agent to help you find a singles cruise. Travel agents have access to databases. But if you don't want to pay the fees associated with a travel agent, book your cruise directly after you've done your research.
Step 7
Attend the recreational events on the cruise. To meet people on a singles cruise, you must mingle at events during the cruise. Look into these events before you book a cruise to find one with the right activities.
