How are roommates
chosen?
We match roommates on the following criteria: gender, smoking
preference, sleeping habits (early bird or night owl), snoring concerns, geographic
location, and age. Once you have signed up for the trip you will receive
a trip application asking for the above information. Then 2 weeks before the
tour you will receive notification of roomate assignment. Unfortunately, we
cannot guarantee the compatibility of roommates or your other travel companions on
the tours but we assume that everyone will act like the mature adults that we are
and treat others as we would want to be
treated.
Can I meet my roommate
before the trip begins?
If your roomate agrees, once the assignments are made (see choosing
roommates) you will receive your roommates email and phone
number.

confidential and not be resold or distributed to anyone without your express
written permission.
What are the hotels like?
Most hotels used are moderate to first class or 3-4 star properties
and are twin-bedded with private bath. Single room accommodations outside of the
U.S. are usually a single bed in a much smaller room than U.S. standards. Please
note that hotel rooms, especially in Europe, are often older, smaller, and less
equipped than the American equivalent and are mush higher priced during peak travel
seasons. Sometimes standards and service are not what we are accustomed to, but is
all part of the adventure of travel and exploring the world. Hotels are subject to
change, but if a change becomes necessary, hotels substituted will be equivalent to
those listed.
Is Travel Insurance
mandatory?
No, though we strongly recommend it. This is an insurance
policy that covers you if you need to cancel your vacation plans for medical
reasons after you’ve paid money on the trip. If you decline trip cancellation
insurance for a cruise or tour and cancel your plans for any reason after the
specified period of leeway, chances are that you won’t get a refund.
Therefore, we, and our tour operators, highly recommend cancellation
insurance. We have information on travel insurance and many tour/cruise
operators offer their own protection policies. Some policies offer lost
luggage reimbursement, medical coverage, etc. Make sure you know what
qualifies as an acceptable reason for cancellation (personal or business
conflicts usually do not) and read all the fine print before signing.
Processing your claim can take 6 weeks or
more.
What type of people
travel with Singles Travel?
Our travelers are usually 30 to 50 years of
age, single, professional, friendly, and looking to
visit interesting places and meet new friends. We are not a dating
service, of course, romances do happen, but our main goal is to provide a
wonderful travel opportunity for you as a single traveler.
Do I need a Passport
or Visa?
A valid passport is required for all travelers
on international tours; and most countries require passports to be
valid for at least 6 months after your trip date. For tours
requiring visas for U.S. citizens, detailed visa information will be sent to
you after we receive your deposit. Non–U.S. citizens must consult with the
appropriate consulates to determine if a visa is needed. Acquiring
the visa is the responsibility of the individual
traveler.
How many pieces of luggage am I
allowed?
One suitcase is allowed on tours, two for cruises. Airlines
have their own restrictions and are imposing limits, especially on carry-on
luggage. So check with the airline on their restrictions. No
responsibility is accepted for loss of or damage to baggage or any of the
passengers’ belongings. Baggage insurance is highly recommended and can be
purchased with travel insurance.
What if I have
special needs?
Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to
us at the time the reservation is made. We will make reasonable attempts to
accommodate the special needs of disabled tour members, but we are not
responsible in the event we are unable to do so, and we are not responsible
for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other
independent suppliers. Most touring motor coaches are not equipped with
wheelchair ramps. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a
tour member for walking, dining, getting on and off motor coaches, and other
transportation vehicles or other personal needs. A qualified companion must
accompany travelers, who need such assistance. Special diet and dietary
restrictions cannot be guaranteed.
More about Singles

We reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or change any trip
or tour itinerary that does not meet the minimum requirements to operate and/or is
deemed necessary for operational requirements and we are not responsible for any
other expenses incurred by the client in relation to the trip being canceled,
including non-refundable air tickets. Most trips are guaranteed departures. Group
trips will have a social escort and/or a professional tour director. Social escorts
are responsible on trips as hosts only and to assist in making sure the group runs
smoothly and cohesively. They do not represent or replace professional tour guides
used on some trips. We cannot assume responsibility for any actions of travelers on
our trips and we do not screen our travelers. We operate many types of trips, so
make sure you are aware of the type of trip you are signing up for. Some trips are
bus tours with professional guides and may be incorporated with other larger group
tours. Most of our singles tours are all singles but a few may be incorporated with
another tour operating WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE SINGLES. This ensures a guaranteed
departure. Most trips will depart no matter how many singles are on that trip. We
cannot be held responsible for the number of singles participating on any group
trip.
