Australian based company, ‘Love Works’ are now planning their second singles luxury cruise which comes only 4 months after their first cruise went very well. For the time being you need to be a single person to get a ticket for the cruise and must have evidence to back up your occupation. “That is all that we ask of our passengers” states Mike Flemming, MD of Love Works. “They have the whole trip to get to know the ins and outs of the other holiday makers, which is typically 4 week long enough to get know someone pretty well we think.” The Mediterranean was the location for the initial cruise, which took over 2000 passengers and lasted just over 3 weeks. The cruise was a definite success according to the company, who have said that over 350 couples got together on the cruise and some are already planning to get married. Going forwards the company would like to localise by running river cruises and one is already scheduled to take place in Germany next year on one of the Rhine river cruises
Flemming has commented that the success of the new dating cruises comes from the fact people are more relaxed on the boat as they treat it as a holiday and they also are not forced to act quickly when meeting people as there is plenty of time for everyone.
