Some singles avoid cruises for fear of being stuck solo on a ship. Many cruise companies, however, have begun catering to single travelers. Select a cruise specifically for singles and find yourself on a ship filled to the brim with eligible men and women. You can maximize your sightseeing potential by taking a cruise. On a cruise, you don't need to select only one exotic destination, but can instead enjoy the pleasure of visiting several ports of call. When on board, you can select from an assortment of activities, ensuring you have something to do with anyone you meet on your trip.
If you want to see the natural beauty of the great outdoors, but don't have a travel partner to accompany you on this quest, a singles outdoor adventure may prove an excellent option. Many companies specialize in setting up tour groups comprised only of singles. Select a singles tour to the destination you most desire, whether it's the Grand Canyon, California's Redwood Forest or the Smoky Mountains. By joining with a singles travel group, you can see the sights you desire, make some new friends or perhaps meet that special someone.
For many, a trip to Europe is the dream of a lifetime. As an established individual in your 40s, you may have the financial wherewithal to make this dream a reality. If a trip to Europe is within your means, don't hesitate to take it -- even if you must travel alone. The most popular European tourist destinations -- such as London, Rome, Paris and Amsterdam -- are rife with tourists, many of whom are flying solo like you. If you take a trip to Europe on your own, consider spending some time relaxing at coffee shops or bars and talking with other tourists, as well as with local residents.
If you want to test your luck, a gambling trip may be just the ticket. As an adult in your 40s, you're fully able to enjoy sites like Las Vegas or Windsor, where gambling is a popular pastime. Treat yourself to a plush room or suite in a swanky Casino. Spend some of your trip on the gambling floor and the rest cruising for other singles with whom to spend time, perhaps at the bar or casino restaurant. Play your cards right on this trip and you may return home not just with a bit more money in your pocket, but also a romantic partner.
