New Years Eve Cruise on the Queen Mary 2 (December 2007)

    I had the best time last week...thanks to your staff, great ship, and good people. I'm sure I'll book something soon again. I'm now convinced it's the only way for me to travel as a single woman.

  • — Mira L., New York

    I just wanted to let you know what a fabulous experience the Queen Mary 2 Cruise was for me. There was never a dull moment through the entire week. The food and service was excellent. I greatly enjoyed the various types of entertainment and dance lessons offered each day. I made so many new friends. I just spoke to a woman I met from Florida and she and I are planning to take the cruise again next year as roommates. The men all looked so handsome in their tuxedos and the women were stunning. You all worked so hard to make a memorable vacation. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • — Pat S., New York

FOURTH OF JULY CRUISE on the Queen Mary 2 (July 2006)

    Thank you for a wonderful, enjoyable, NON-STOP-FUN trip on the Queen Mary 2! I can speak for almost everyone when I say that you and Mary Delia were terrific host leaders. You aim to please and showed it with your warm hospitality, smiles, and so many choices for activities. Thank you again for a memorable experience.

NEW YEAR'S EVE CRUISE (December 2006)

    Just wanted to say thanks again for a wonderful cruise last week. You and your entire staff were all terrific. And the weather was absolutely perfect. Kevin and I had a blast!

  • — Vicky W, Speedway, IN

    I wanted to send you a quick note thanking you and everyone on your team for such a wonderful time on the New Years 2005 cruise. I was hesitant to take such a leap forward and head out on a singles cruise but found it very exciting and refreshing, particularly the beauty contest. Do I get a crown? My employee's would also like to thank you for sending home such a different guy; I still have that silly Cheshire cat grin stuck on my face. Thanks again for such a wonderful time and what a great group of people.

  • — Noel C., Dana Point, CA

    I really enjoyed the group and I will certainly consider trips with you guys in the future. Since I've returned I've been talking up your group to anyone I know who is single and forwarded your web site to a few too. This being my first time doing anything like this, I was a little apprehensive. But the moment I met you it all dissipated and I felt like I was with friends. Thank you for that.

  • — Diane S., Hicksville, NY

    Thanks again for a great trip. You and your staff did an excellent job, I will definitely recommend your trips to my friends. Looking forward to taking another trip with you in the future.

QUEEN MARY 2 - TRANSATLANTIC VOYAGE (September 2005)

    I loved it! Mary Delia was awesome! We all had a great time. I spent a lot of time in the Canyon Ranch Spa, and I loved the ship itself. I definitely want to be on this ship again. My roommate was awesome. I could definitely be her roommate again. We got along great. Thanks for treating us to Todd English. I loved that restaurant, and the chocolate cake. Amazing! I even took a picture of the chocolate cake! I will be signing up for another trip, but I am just not sure which one yet. Thanks so much for everything!

  • — April C., Austen, TX

SCANDINAVIA & RUSSIA CRUISE (July 2005)

    The trip to Scandinavia & St Petersburg aboard the Jewel of the Seas was fabulous! Mary Delia Allen was great. I am so happy that I decided to travel with your group. The other singles were wonderful and we really felt at home with each other. I am looking forward to another trip with your group in the future. Thanks again.

20th VACATION WITH STI

    Over New Year's Eve 2004, I went on my 20th trip with Singles Travel International. Over the ten past years, I have been to Italy, Paris, Monaco, Amsterdam, Belgium, Costa Rica, Spain, Greece, Santorini, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Caribbean, New York, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Mexico, Las Vegas, Alaska, & New Orleans. All of the trips were very well run and enjoyable. They expertly handle all the details and offer many creative and fun activities. There has been white water rafting, late night dancing, mingling at sidewalk cafes, majestic scenery, great music, sunning on the beach, tours of historic landmarks, bathing in hot water springs, dining in a castle, fine wine tastings, scavenger hunts (I won't mention what I had to find!), and more. Now you know why I've done 20 trips. So, if you want to meet new friends, eat great food, see exotic places, and have fun, this is the way to do it. All you have to do is sign up and go!

ALASKA WILDERNESS (June 2005)

    My Alaska trip was fabulous. Thanks so much for making this happen for me...and in such a short length of time. (Attached is a picture of the moose we saw while white water rafting.) You have a great concept with STI... I love my friends dearly and I've traveled with family and friends many times (and I've traveled by myself, too). But, when you travel with family/friends you always have to make compromises because everyone may have different interests or different things they want to see and do. With STI, although you start out with a group of strangers...everyone has the same interest, the same skill level, and is on this trip for the same purpose. I really like that....you get to do what YOU really want to do. Please put me on whatever 'list' you have for upcoming/future trips.

  • — Jan F., Arlington, VA

    The Alaska trip was awesome! The activities, accommodations and food were fantastic. All of the guides were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely recommend Singles Travel International to other solo travelers. Thanks for a vacation that I will remember for a long time.

  • — Mark C., East Point, MI

QUEEN MARY 2 (February 2005)

    Mary D. Thanks for your great energy and work. Best vacation I've ever had!

  • — Hector A, Santa Fe, NM

    Excellent beyond words. The STI staff was so helpful, friendly and courteous. Absolutely fabulous time thanks to your lovely people. Looking forward to my next trip with you.

QUEEN MARY 2 (July 2004)

    My cruise with Singles Travel International aboard the QM2 during it's inaugural season was by first trip with the group and nothing short of spectacular. It would seem that you couldn't top being on the QM2 but Tammy and Mary Delia did a great job of arranging extras that made it even better. Not only did I meet a nice group of people but I met Richard. Here we are on our most recent "cruise". I must admit a pontoon boat pales in comparison with the QM2 but we are happy to have found each other. Thanks!

  • — Lisa A., Greenville, N.C.

    Thank you so much for all the efforts you put forth to make our spectacular cruise such an enjoyable and memorable one. It's great to be in "your hands.

  • — Elaine F, Oak Brook, IL

    I want to tell you what a MARVELOUS job you and Mary Delia did on the QM2 cruise to Norway. All of our friends who went are also raving about how personable, tireless, kind, funny and pretty both of you were (are)! Thanks for making it such a good experience for everyone.

  • — Jim P, Oak Park, IL

    Thank you for a most memorable vacation. As always, those little extra touches made the trip special. Thanks for another job well done.

SOLO TRAVELER-2004

    There I was, standing in cold, wet, dark Pennsylvania and I wanted out. For years I had priced travel packages and was always hit with the double occupancy charge. I called the travel editor of the Philadelphia Enquirer and asked if there were any agencies that helped singles. He recommended that I call Singles Travel International. When I called, the office was closed, but Tammy Weiler, the president, was there to hear my plaintiff message. "I want to get out of here, can you help?" YES, she did. The next day I had confirmed air and cruise plans within my budget, met wonderful people, lay in the sun, the whole nine yards. Thank you Tammy!

  • — Kaye B, Malvern, PA

SPORT & ADVENTURE TOURS (2004)

    I can't speak highly enough about Singles Travel International trips. I am a small business owner where organization, attention to detail, and flexibility are extremely important. When I am on vacation, though, having someone else take care of all the arrangements, and with impeccable organization, attention to detail and flexibility is very valuable to me! With Singles Travel International, individual attention to specific needs is always given. Our leaders really do aim to please by offering options for everyone. They work hard on the trips, but seem to enjoy every minute of it and make it all look so easy! And it's always fun to be in the company of a great group of other equally independent travelers who appreciate the variety of great Singles Travel International destination options. I have been on two trips with Singles Travel International, with a third upcoming soon, and hopefully more beyond that!

FALL FOLIAGE CRUISE (September 2003)

    I just want to thank you again for last week. You did your usual wonderful job and I really appreciate the extra time and effort you took to ensure that my sister had a good time. You are a very special person because you don't just do your job; you go out of your way to make everyone comfortable and at ease. Last week was an especially stressful one and could have been a really bad time for all of us. You are like a ray of sunshine making everyone smile. I can't thank you enough for making another vacation wonderful.

  • — M. Becker, New Orleans, LA

    Because of the way dad and I were treated in Miami, I have been very leery of cruises, but you single-handedly have shown me how marvelous cruises can be, and I for one thank you so much. I certainly will see you for the New Years Eve cruise, and I hope for many many more. Thanks again.

THAILAND & HONG KONG (November 2002)
