Making new cruising friends is rewarding like discovering gold nuggets in a Yukon stream. All types of people — singles, couples, groups; all ages, genders, nationalities, cultural backgrounds — book cruises for probably the same reasons you do — an exciting alternative to their usual life, exciting new diversions, and `life long memories.’

Part of those memories may be the conversations & experiences shared with other cruise passengers.  With thousands of passengers jam-packed in a huge cruise ship, participating in activities & Shore Excursions, …. you would have to ‘hide’ in your cabin to avoid making new friends.

Even during in-port ‘free times’ you & your new friends may embark on a Shore Excursion or just do a self-guided walking tour together exploring a port town's sites & cafes.  Such friendships enrich your travel experience and may stretch into lifetime friends & memories.
