Sailing Solo Or on the Prowl - Either Way is Fun on Singles Cruises

Are you single and loving it or all alone and looking for someone?

Whatever - if you go on a singles cruise you'll be sure to enjoy yourself. Singles cruises are geared towards singles. And whether you want to fly solo and have a great vacation or meet a lot of new people, a singles cruise will work for you.

Are you a hermit or a socialite?

Many people enjoy their status as a single, and wish to keep it that way on their vacations. If that's you, singles cruises can be a perfect solution! If you're a single just looking to relax with negligible disruptions, these cruises have options that can facilitate this craving.

You can enjoy the spas, leisurely lounge on the deck, or sun by the pool - there are a multitude of ways to relax in solitude if that's your goal.

On the other hand, other singles go on singles cruises for the exact opposite reason. They want to party - make new friends and meet other singles.

In this case singles cruises are like floating singles resorts. There are tons of group activities like dances and concerts - or you can just hang out with your new buddies and/or lovers.

It's so easy to find people with common interests. When you disembark the cruise you will have made a lot of new friends that you'll be in touch with for a long, long time.

Where To Make Reservations

When it comes to destinations singles cruises are no different than other cruises. These cruises can take you just about anywhere you can dream of - Alaska, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Greece, Hawaii, and Japan.

Chances are any cruise line that offers regular cruises will also offer at least one singles cruise as an option. So check out some of your favorite cruise companies like Costa, Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Line and you'll find that they'll all be able to meet your needs.

Spending Like A Single

One of the big perks about singles cruises is that you'll get most of the entertainment and amenities that you'd get on standard cruises but they're only a fraction of the cost. These singles trips are a great way to save money.

Tons Of Fun, Alone Or Together

So whether you want to relax alone on your vacation or make it a whirlwind event and meet a lot of new people, singles cruises are a great option. With tons of fun activities, huge opportunities to get to know other people, and saving money a singles cruise is a terrific vacation choice.

And who knows? You could come on board single and leave the ship at the start of a brand new relationship.

Asia Cruises For 2010

Travel to the age-old traditions and dazzling modernity of the Orient, or the golden spires and emerald landscapes of Southeast Asia.

As cruise lines expand cruise offerings in Asia, they are beginning to add new and interesting ports of call. In 2010, new ports are included in Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea. We anticipate these itineraries will attract not only new passengers, but also those who have already cruised in Asia, that can now enjoy new ports.

Malaysia:

Sandakan: Founded in 1879, this bustling port was once the capital of British North Borneo and home to the greatest concentration of millionaires in Southeast Asia during the heyday of the timber industry. Today it is renowned as the gateway to exotic wildlife, including the endangered proboscis monkeys.

Kota Kinablu: Situated on the South China Sea, the capital of the state of Sabah is a favorite of nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. Nearby rainforests are inhabited by orangutans, and the coral reefs teem with marine life.

Kuching: The capital of Sarawak, Malaysia is reminiscent of a bygone era with its mix of ornate temples, historic buildings and Chinese shop houses. From here you can take a shore excursion to a village housing the once feared Dyak tribe which practiced head hunting into the last century.

Indonesia:

Padang Bay, Bali: More than 17,000 islands make up the Indonesian archipelago, and none is as enticing as Bali, with a rich Hindu culture that has produced some of the finest arts and crafts in Asia including exquisite wood carvings and sculpted masks. Bali's 10,000 temples are scattered across a lush landscape of terraced rice paddies, volcanic mountains, tropical rainforests and river gorges.

Semarang: Gateway to the mammoth Buddhist temple complex at Borobudur, it is also adjacent to the island of Lombok where villagers practice ancient Sask weaving techniques handed down over the centuries.

Komodo Island: Home of the fearsome Komodo Dragons, the largest lizards in the world, that roamed the earth during the dinosaur era.

South Korea:

Jeju Island: Known as the "Island of the Gods" and the "Hawaii of the Orient," Jeju has some terrific beaches and is famous for its shitake mushrooms and cactus plants. Dominating the island is 6,000 ft. Mt. Halasan, the highest point in Korea which last erupted in 1007 AD. It is a popular hiking spot.

Mokpo: Here you can sample exotic cuisine, visit the fascinating Mokpo Modern History Museum and take an excursion to stone age dolmens that make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Of course, popular ports are still being offered including Singapore, Hong Kong, Halong Bay, Phuket, Bangkok, Shanghai and Xingang.

In 2010, cruise lines offering Asia cruises are Costa Cruise Line, Azamara Cruises, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Royal Caribbean.
