Marketing travel services to a narrow niche group of travelers is on the upswing as sellers of travel continue to differentiate themselves from one another.# Catering to a specific interest or group, once just the domain of a hand full of theme cruise promoters, has gone mainstream with agencies specializing in cruises for just families, men, women, the handicapped and more.# Now, a new agency caters to mature, single African-Americans, crafting vacations specifically suited to let 50+ African-Americans enjoy the “companionship and camaraderie of like-minded singles” says new web site and travel agency SoulSinglesAtSea.com.
“We’re not match-makers, date-makers or hook-up artists,” says Amber Young, Cruise Coordinator and Owner of SoulSinglesAtSea.com. “We specialize in providing groups for adventurous travelers wanting more than a solo traveler experience. We are perfect for those singles not wanting to feel like the 5th wheel when traveling with friends who are all coupled-up … nor want to be amongst the masses on the well-known larger scaled cruises.”
To facilitate the experience and alleviate cold-meeting on the ship, SoulSinglesAtSea.com hosts a pre-cruise meet & mingle allowing everyone an opportunity to comfortably get together while enjoying complimentary cocktails and snacks. This casual meet-up not only extends the vacation, but also allows extra time before embarkation in case of hold-ups due to bad weather, airport security, luggage delays, and other travel delay stressors.
“There is something for everyone,” Young says. “Cruises range from the basic and short-term to the luxurious all-inclusive and longer-term cruise experience … a few ships offer single rooms at a fair price; yet, the vast majority of cruise lines will charge a single supplement of up to double the individual rate.” For solo travelers wanting a roommate, SoulSinglesAtSea.com offers to help in that effort.
