Dance the nights away at sea (dance hosts)

Do you enjoy dancing the nights away at sea? You might think that the tradition of the gentleman host is a fading tradition... but not really.

Break a leg!

Cunard Line

Cunard Line embraces the tradition with dance hosts on EVERY sailing, with 4-8 hosts onboard:
  • Queen Mary 2 - World Cruise Sailings: 8 dance hosts
  • Queen Mary 2 - all other sailings: 6 dance hosts
  • Queen Elizabeth - World Cruise Sailings: 6 dance hosts
  • Queen Elizabeth - all other sailings: 4 dance hosts
  • Queen Victoria - World Cruise Sailings: 6 dance hosts
  • Queen Victoria - all other sailings: 4 dance hosts

Holland America

Holland America offers dance hosts on select sailings (some may be broken into segments):
  • January 4, 2014 - ms Amsterdam - Fort Lauderdale, roundtrip - 113 nights
  • January 5, 2014 - ms Prinsendam - Fort Lauderdale, roundtrip - 68 nights
  • February 7, 2014 - ms Maasdam - Fort Lauderdale roundtrip - 49 nights
  • March 14, 2014 - ms Prinsendam - Fort Lauderdale to Rome - 57 nights 
  • September 21, 2014 - ms Amsterdam - Seattle to San Diego - 78 nights
  • October 31, 2014 - ms Maasdam - Fort Lauderdale, roundtrip - 42 nights
These are all gentleman hosts, in the tradition of having the male dance partner available on board for ladies sailing alone.

But it's not just for women sailing solo. I know of one couple who take advantage of the service, as she loves to dance, and he doesn't. Picking a cruise with a dance host onboard is the perfect solution for them.

If you're interested in learning more, or would like to book aboard one of these sailings, please get in touch.

Uniworld River Cruises: Solo Traveler Savings

Uniworld Boutique River Cruises is offering both waived and reduced single supplement savings on a number of sailings.

I particularly like Uniworld's offers for solo cruisers, as they completely waive single supplements on many sailings, while still reducing them on others. Their offers strike me as fair, as they work hard to provide the greatest value on a wide range of cruises from their collection.

International river cruising is Uniworld's specialty. These vessels tour the great rivers of Europe, Asia, and Egypt. Uniworld's river cruises offer conveniences and amenities you wouldn't expect to see on small vessels. Most shore excursions are included in the cruise tour price. TO EDIT

Holland America: Sailings to/from Vancouver - 2014

Vancouver, BC, Canada is growing as a cruise port. We are seeing more interesting cruise itineraries either ending or beginning in Vancouver. Some are repositioning cruises (when the cruiselines relocate ships for a season, for example, from the Caribbean to Alaska), while others are either world cruises, segments of a world cruise or just new cruise routes. In addition, there are more roundtrip sailings being offered from Vancouver, other than to Alaska. All this is exciting for Vancouverites, British Columbians and anyone planning to travel to Vancouver.

Here are some of Holland America's Vancouver offerings in 2014 - some will sell out quickly, so be sure to book early if something catches your eye (or heart!):
