Where do I Sit in the Dining Room?
One of the benefits of cruising with a singles cruise group is that you never have to eat alone. There are separate tables of the dining room just for our group. We do not assign seats and we encourage you to sit with different dinner partners each night. We usually reserve late dining (8:00 p.m.) for our entire singles group.
Can we Meet any of the Singles on our Cruise before Departure?
Yes, you will be invited to join our Facebook cruise page so you can get to know other singles before your single cruise departs. Plus you have the option of sharing your email with your fellow cruisers too. We usually offer an optional pre-cruise hotel in the port city the night before the cruise departs along with a pre-cruise meet and greet.
What if I Need to Cancel my Cruise?
In the event that you wish to cancel your singles cruise, you need to email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
As soon as you book your cruise and your cabin is reserved with the appropriate cruise line, a $100 cancellation fee becomes effective. After the initial $100 please follow the cruise line's cancellation policy below. When calculating the days prior to sailing, the day of sailing should not be considered as one of the days. The day of sailing is considered the first day of the cruise, therefore, the penalty period will commence one day prior to the day of sailing.

The designation did not endure, however, for on later maps the islands were labeled the Caimanau, the Carib Indian word for "crocodile." The name "Caimanas" refers inaccurately to the iguanas native to the islands, which were perhaps at one point mistaken for crocodiles. Among other attractions, visitors to the island will enjoy learning about the turtles, visiting the town of Hell, exploring Seven-Mile Beach and enjoying the undersea world.

Pacific Coast Singles Cruise Itinerary
Cruise Day 1: Vancouver, British Columbia (Wednesday: October 19 / 4:30pm)
It seems unlikely that a character named "Gassy Jack" Deighton would be responsible for one of the most beautiful cities on the continent. But that's history for you.
During the gold rush, Gassy Jack saw a chance to make money from the hordes of miners on their way to the Yukon. The saloon he built became the focus of the shanty town known as Gastown. From that ragtag group of shacks, modern Vancouver was born. The provincial government persuaded settlers to change the name of the town to Vancouver, after Captain George Vancouver, who sailed the region's waters in 1792. Canada's third-largest city, Vancouver is a cosmopolitan place with a European feel and a personality all its own. It's a community with a rich ethnic mix - including the second-largest Chinatown in North America - and stunningly beautiful parks.
Cruise Day 2: Nanaimo, B.C., Canada (Thursday: October 20 / 7:00am - 6:00pm)
Located on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo is about 55 km west of Vancouver and separated by the Strait of Georgia, but directly linked to the mainland via BC Ferries.
Nanaimo began as a trading post in the early 1800s. In 1849 the Snuneymuxw chief Ki-et-sa-kun informed the Hudson's Bay Company of the presence of coal in the area, and in 1853 the company built a fort known as the Nanaimo Bastion. Subsequently the town was chiefly known for the export of coal. Nanaimo is home to Petroglyph Provincial Park, where visitors can view ancient petroglyph rock carvings and runes. Newcastle Island is another provincial park in Nanaimo, and was at one time a world-famous summertime tourist destination. The city lays claim to the oldest continuous community band in Canada, The Nanaimo Concert Band, established in 1872. Nanaimo is also known for its bathtub race during the annual marine festival, the famous Nanaimo bar dessert and for the cannon firing on the parapet next to the Bastion every day at noon during the summer months and for special events.
Cruise Day 3: Seattle, Washington (Friday: October 21 / 7:00am - 4:00pm)
Seattle is a young city with a rich history. Settlers first landed at Alki Point in 1851 and named the area after Sealth, the Suquamish Indian chief who befriended them. Rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1889, "The Emerald City" has a legacy of vision and strength. Seattle has hosted two World's Fairs (1909 and 1962) and is the birthplace of two modern marvels, Boeing and Microsoft. Known for its rainy climate, Seattle actually averages less annual rainfall than many East Coast cities. The mild weather, spectacular natural surroundings and rich cultural diversity attract visitors from around the world. Seattle tours are available to passengers with afternoon flights or an overnight stay in Seattle after their cruise.
Cruise Day 4: Astoria, Oregon (Saturday: October 22 / 10:am - 6:00pm)
As the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, Astoria offers a rich history for your exploration. It was first visited by Captain Robert Gray in 1792, by the Lewis & Clark Corps of Discovery in 1805, then adventuresome pioneers by the thousands. Now its your turn to experience the excitement of exploring Astoria. Within a 20 mile radius, one can see dozens of exciting attractions including Fort Stevens State Park, Fort Astoria, Heritage Center Museum, Flavel House Museum, Uppertown Fire Fighters Museum, Astoria Column and the Columbia River Maritime Museum, home to one of the nation's finest displays of model ships and nautical artifacts. Astoria offers other fun discoveries, such as historic Victorian homes and the beautiful 4.1 mile-long Astoria Bridge.
Cruise Day 5: At Day at Sea (Sunday: October 23)
to enjoy all the amenities of the Star Princess
Cruise Day 6: San Francisco, California (Monday: October 24 / 7:00am - 11:00pm)
Cable cars, the Golden Gate rising from the fog - welcome to San Francisco, arguably the most romantic and cosmopolitan city in the United States. San Francisco has it all: a colorful history, superb restaurants, sophisticated museums, world-class shopping, and that elusive air of romance and abandon that's part of the tang of the city.
Cruise Day 7: At Day at Sea (Tuesday: October 25)
to enjoy all the amenities of the Star Princess
Cruise Day 8: Los Angeles, California (Wednesday: October 26 / 7:00am)
The City of Angels always hovers between dream and reality. Once a near-forgotten colonial outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie colony. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century, from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is oft described as the "dream machine." In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic diversity and a sizzling culture. LA is the source for trends that migrate across the country and then the world. Where else can you enjoy a Thai taco or munch on a kosher burrito? Or travel from downtown's high rises to the beaches of Malibu, shopping in Beverly Hills along the way? Los Angeles is a port of embarkation and disembarkation for some cruises.
