Cruises for singles or couples are great fun. They are designed for people who wish to make the holiday a totally new experience alongside new friends. Such cruises are often multi-national affairs, which make them especially interesting. There is quite a lot of space per person on a 25 to 35 meter boat considering that every passenger has private quarters and jointly used decks, saloons, etc.
This combines the relative privacy expected on a yacht with the feeling of security that a bigger vessel offers. Yet, the feeling of anonymity common to a large cruise ship is alien to a gulet voyager. Even total strangers who meet for the first time on a gulet, end the tour in an aura of sincere camaraderie.
A gulet can best be compared to a small hotel afloat. Which has brawny engines that drive them along at 8 to 11 knots easily A gulet voyage is also the best introduction to yachting for those who have kept away from the sea thinking that it is ''unaffordable''. The rates are more or less at the same level as a 3 - 4 star hotel. |
