When you think of holidays you probably think of getting away from work for a bit, topping up your tan and maybe letting your hair down. However, one of the fastest growing sectors in the holiday industry is the singles holiday, especially luxury cruises singles holidays. On these holidays, people travel to destinations where they can meet lots of other single people and maybe make a connection with someone that lasts. Below we look at some top tips for meeting the right person and making a good impression when you do.

Get a base tan. If you are going to a hot location like you might do on silversea cruises, you really don’t want to be turning up looking like a milk bottle. First impressions are the most important thing when meeting someone so make sure you have some color to you. Don’t get carried away and end up looking like you’ve emptied a whole body of fake tan on yourself, a healthy glow will do

Relax. Those people who do not open up and share their thoughts and feelings, or are just too nervous to speak to anyone, rarely build relationships. You’ll find that everyone on these types of holidays are in the same situation and will much more willing to communicate if you let your guard down, if only just a little bit. If you were introduced to a very nervous person, you would wonder what they were worrying about and advise them to just be themselves. This is because it’s the best advice so make you follow it

Have fun. Following on from the last point, finding someone and living happily ever after should not be the be all and end all of your holiday. When all is said and done, holidays are about having some time to enjoy yourself and not worry about things, and this should be the same wherever you are at whatever you’re doing. Not everyone finds happiness the first time, but there is no reason why you cannot try again. For singles cruises try AMA waterways cruises
