Senior? Single? Traveler? Here are some tour companies just for you

As a single traveler, sometimes its difficult to find tour companies that treat you more than just an afterthought to their coupled travelers.  Here are some tour companies that specialize in single, senior travel. 

As a provider of cultural walking adventures, culinary tours and family journeys to more than 60 destinations, Classic Journeys (www.classicjourneys.com), not only reaches out to solo travelers, they embrace them.

Singles Travel Co. (www.singlestravelcompany.com) branched out with trips just for the over-60 single traveler this year. They are starting trips in 2009 for women that will concentrate more on 'just the girls' activities and interests."

Singles Travel International (www.singlestravelintl.com) has a number of vacations for 50-plus and has a terrific Web site with the first international singles travel community. They have taken the guesswork out of the roommate-matching dilemma: Each of our tours has ages posted, and you may access the profiles of travelers already booked on each tour.

Should I Take Formal Wear On A Cruise? PDF Print E-mail


Q: I’m going on my first cruise since my wife passed away five years ago. We sailed together at least once a year through the 1980s. It’s a senior singles cruise, and I’m a bit confused. I’ve been told passengers can wear anything they want, including at the scheduled dress-up dinner/dance.

When my wife and I cruised, we always took good clothing, and on at least one night, went formal. Should I take my tux on this upcoming cruise? RFT, Milwaukee WI A: Cruising is much more relaxed these days. Even for that big last-night event, you’ll see only a few passengers in formal wear. We suggest you pack a dark suit, shirt and tie for the cruise. You may feel more self-confident when you wear it, and who knows. Maybe a certain evening-gowned lady will find you a fascinating gent.
