Singles Cruises: What Precisely is a Singles Cruise?
Broadly speaking, singles cruises are merely cruises that you take by yourself. You, a single person, are going on a cruise, and the English language denotes this concept with the words “singles cruise.” But of course the phrase “singles cruises” has more complex connotations, and not all of them have to do with dating or romance, contrary to popular belief (if indeed there is any sort of popular belief surrounding the meaning of “singles cruises”). It is the purpose of this article to give a brief overview of some of the general features of singles cruises, and as a consequence we won’t be delving into any specific singles cruise vacations you can take.

Antarctic Cruises: Which Cruise Ships Sail to Antarctica?
Antarctica is a distant land to sail to, and it certainly isn’t a routine destination for a cruise vacation (in contrast to places like the Caribbean or Alaska, for example).

Antarctic Cruises: What Can You See?
Antarctic cruises are one of the more radical cruise vacations that an individual can take. Given Antarctica’s placement on the globe (it’s the southernmost continent), a cruise to Antarctica will be a fairly lengthy undertaking, although this of course depends on where you will begin your trip. More likely than not, you’ll have to book a flight to a port that is far south of the equator – a port like the one in Ushuaia, Argentina, to which two British cruise ships were recently denied entry – and once you arrive to port, your journey to Antarctica is only beginning. However, when you do finally arrive to the Antarctic region of the world, you’ll be rewarded with views that are rarely seen by human eyes. Read more […] -
