Which Are The Best Cruises for Singles?
Windjammer Cruises for singles can be described as a summer camp with a lot of water sports, land activities, parties and camaraderie.
Founded in 1947, the company has continuously provided unique experience to passengers from all over the world on a fleet of six vessels that are anything but typical. All but one of the ships, the Amazing Grace, is a traditional sailing ship. If you've always wondered what it was like to be aboard a tall, graceful ship, sails flapping in the breeze, Windjammer may have the best cheap singles cruises for you.
Star Clippers, another company putting to sea in traditional sailing ships, has received numerous awards for their services including the 2006 Conde Nast Traveler, the 2004 Travel and Leisure Award and the World Traveler Award from 1997 to 2006 continuously. The company makes an attractive option for adult singles cruises aboard either the Royal Clipper or the Star Clipper.
The Royal Clipper, built in 2000, has a maximum capacity of 227 with a crew of 106. The vessel includes all the comforts of modern technology and the pleasure of navigating without the sound of a motor. The Star Clipper, built in 199, carries 170 passengers and a crew of 72. The objective aboard these vessels is to give passengers the experience of sailing. Although land activities are available, they aren't numerous.
These companies can all be considered budget or mid-priced whereas Crystal Cruises, (considered a senior singles cruise with an average age of 50+) is a luxury line founded in 1988. The Crystal Symphony and the Crystal Serenity support 940 and 1,050 passengers respectively with beautiful appointments and exceptional amenities and services.
Silversea Cruise Lines has been voted the best small ship cruise line in the world. The company won the Conde Nast Traveler award nine times and the Travel and Leisure award six. Its fleet of luxurious ships is composed of the Silver Cloud, the Silver Wind, the Silver Shadow and the Silver Whisper.
The first two vessels have a capacity of 296 with a 212 man crew. The latter two carry 382 and a crew of 295. Both vessels have itineraries to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Africa, the Far East and the South Pacific among others.
As you can see there are several choices for cruises for singles. Budget, mid-priced or luxury, the options should tailor to any budget and personal temperament. Consult your travel agency for any deals on cruises for singles. Maybe you can find a great offer on one of the best cruises for singles.
Finally, remember that these trips require a lot of camaraderie of the passengers. You will have to share your time with other people. Don't expect to spend too much time alone. If you are reclusive, this may not be the right kind of travel for you. Adult singles cruises can be a lot of fun, but only if you really want to be part of the group.
