Our “Baby Boomer” vacations cater to singles in their 50s and 60s but you will often meet singles ranging anywhere from 45-75. We generally have a ratio of 60/40, women to men. As a travel club, matchmaking is not our focus. Ages listed on our page are not restricted. They are simply used as a guideline. We offer an opportunity for single travelers to see the world in the company of other singles and do not guarantee ratios or ages.

We recommend that you meet the members of the Singles Travel International Community online where you may view and interact with members via “Who’s Going” on every trip page. This is the best way to find out exactly who will be on your vacation.

We also invite you to join our 50+ singles community when you are not on the road, before and after your vacation @ www.SingleLife.Today.

Singles Travel International hosts the Breakfast Club each morning and we’ll make dining reservations at convenient times for the entire group to dine together or in smaller groups as requested.

All dining requests are confirmed once onboard, not in advance and are at the discretion of the cruise line.

There are several a la carte and themed restaurants which are also included in your cruise package. Your Singles Travel International Concierge will assist with making your reservations at all times so that you may enjoy these restaurants in the company of other singles once onboard the ship.

Thailand:
Though Bangkok is a year-round destination, the best time to visit Bangkok weather-wise is from November to February. The weather is not-so-hot and mostly sunny, which is very suitable for sightseeing. The average temperature for the month is 89 F°.

Vietnam:
In February the weather’s bright and warm, with cooler conditions in the north of the country and hotter temperatures on the south coast. With occasional showers on higher ground, it’s worth packing a light rain jacket if you’re venturing to the north, along with warm layers for the colder evenings. The average temperatures for the month are 79-86°F.

Singapore:
The months of February, March and April see spring-like weather conditions, low rainfall and humidity levels, making it the best time to visit Singapore weather-wise. The average temperatures for the month are 76-88°F.

Hong Kong:
Hong Kong starts to warm up in February with the coldest temperatures behind in January, but it can still get chilly. Average temperatures still have a fairly small range, much like January. The average temperature for the month is 66°F.

There is no baggage limit onboard the ship.

Currently, most international airlines will allow you to check one bag weighing up to 50 pounds included in your fare. In addition, you may carry-on one bag plus a personal item such as a purse or briefcase. Please check with your air carrier for up-to-the-minute regulations and fees for checked baggage.

Cruising aboard Oceania is not too dressy, not too casual. We call it “resort casual”; you’ll call it being on holiday. When you’re ready for dinner, it’s collared shirts and pants or nice jeans for men. Slacks or jeans, dresses, skirts and tops are perfect for women. If you want to dress up and add a little glamour when you dine out, go for it. Singles Travel International members generally add a little class to any venue!

Swimwear, T-shirts and shorts are not allowed in the restaurants after 5:30 pm. An exception will be made with respect to shorts in the buffet and outdoor restaurants. Presentable jeans may be worn in restaurants in the evenings with the exception of a designated “dress up” restaurant. Daytime wear is casual and comfortable for touring/ shopping/ swimming.

Our Concierge Team will create several theme nights, and costumes are recommended, although optional. More information about themes will be disclosed closer to departure via our chat and direct emails from our Concierge Team.
