"World’s First International…
Cougar Cruise!

3 Night Getaway Cruise! December 4-7, 2009
A festive pre holiday fun weekend of dining, dancing and partying!

Carnival Cruise ShipCome join us on the world’s first International Cougar Cruise, for younger men/older women, departs from San Diego, California to Ensenada, Mexico, December 4-7, 2009, aboard Carnival Cruise Line’s Fun Ship Elation for 3 nights of festive pre holiday fun-dinner, dancing, and partying! The cruise is co-sponsored by The Singles Travel Company and The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization. Adults of all ages are welcome.
On our 3-day weekend getaway, we’ll visit Ensenada, which has grown from a sleepy fishing village to become a popular beach resort and one of Mexico’s most successful cities and a famous Baja destination. Among its popular locations are its pristine beaches, the waterfront promenade, the fashionable shops of Avenida Primera and a winery founded by the Dominicans in 1888. Not far away is La Bufadora, a sea geyser that puts on a highly dramatic show. After a fun day of sightseeing, maybe stop in at a lively cantina to enjoy some local color and a frozen margarita or cerveza!
Our day at sea will have an array of activities offered by the cruise staff or we can just sit back and socialize with a cool tropical drink, relax in one of the many pools or jacuzzis or enjoy a tantalizing host of other on board services.
So come join us! Relax by the pool or shop for fabulous bargains. Workout in the fitness center and pamper yourself in the spa! Watch the sun set over the sea as you stroll the decks of our floating resort and then enjoy incredible gourmet meals, lavish nightly shows and the chance to dance the night away with great new friends.
