How are the meals?
One of the most important rules of a Club Getaway Cruise vacation is that no one goes hungry! Begin your day by breaking bread at the ship's bountiful buffet served on the outdoor terrace. For lunch, join friends and indulge in the luxury of the main restaurant or choose the lavish buffet on the deck. On the islands you can either sample some of the islands cuisine or go back to ship.

How are Dinners?
Our dinners are a glamorous 6-course Club Getaway event. Round robin seating will allow you to share each day's adventures with new-found friends. Cozy bistros serve authentic Italian pizzas, gelato, cappuccino and espresso. Make sure to leave room for the dazzling midnight buffet!

The best part is meeting new friends...
The best part about a Club Getaway Vacation is meeting lots of new people. Friendships flourish on a Club Getaway trip. That's because people have a great time. They kick back, relax and share common experiences and adventures. The friendships you make here may last a week or a lifetime. What If I am traveling alone? If you're traveling by yourself you'll find it easy to mix and mingle, and we'll pair you with a roommate.

Is this for singles only?
Our guests are predominantly singles, but if you were thinking of joining us with a partner, I can assure you that you will both have a great time.

Is it OK to travel on my own?
Absolutely. You will find that most of the guests that have booked so far have booked on their own. We will match you with a roommate for the week.

How many people do you have signed up?
We are expecting a sold-out cruise of 300 guests! Space will be limited so you need to book early. So don't leave it too late to make your reservation. This will be the best vacation that you will ever take.

The Ship (Costa Mediterranea)
The Costa Mediterranea is an Italian masterpiece! It is one of the newest and finest ships at sea. Europe's finest designers spared no expense to make her one of the most comfortable and elegant ships afloat. Club Getaway has reserved 300 berths of the Mediterranea's capacity of 2114 passengers. With a staff and crew numbering 920, it's the perfect size ship. The cabins are generously proportioned and luxuriously appointed. There are nightclubs, a disco, a casino, lounges, restaurants, fitness center and a spa to take your breath away! As well as tennis, basketball and volleyball courts. The outside decks are geared for fun and relaxation with swimming pools, a jogging track, bars, solariums and more!

What makes this cruise different from any other singles cruises?
Most other singles cruises offer packages that just include a cocktail party and the cruise ship activities. You are left on your own to work out what to do on the islands and what to do when you get back on the cruise ship. Whereas the Club Getaway cruise includes - * Excursions and activities in every port (at least two or three) * Sports and activities on board the cruise ship * Themed cocktail parties nightly (at least 2 FREE open bars) * Round robin seating (so that you can mix and match your dinner partners on a nightly basis) * Free Roommate Shares *Planned excursions and activities at every port (at an additional charge) Plus the cruise ship activities. We also take our own Club Getaway Staff on board as social hosts, whose job is simply to make sure that you are having a great time! All of these activities are exclusive only to Club Getaway guests.
