Constantly being surrounded by couples and families while on vacation can become tiresome for unattached individuals. Luckily, there are plenty of vacation options for singles interested in meeting like-minded people while engaging in exciting activities, such as cooking in Tuscany or hiking in Idaho. For people looking for a more party-like atmosphere, singles
cruises to tropical islands are guaranteed to satisfy.
Carnival Singles Cruise
A singles cruise is one of the best vacation options for the unmarried set. Much like a regular cruise, the ship travels to popular spots, such as the Caribbean, Costa Rica, the Bahamas and the Galapagos Islands. Custom singles events include cocktail mixers, themed parties, costume parties and private dinners. Typically, these cruises last between three to 10 days, and travelers must be at least 21 years old to participate.

Italian Cooking Courses
This is the ideal alternative vacation choice for singles who don't necessarily want to go on a trip completely alone. The Italian cooking courses consist of spending a week at a restored Tuscan villa with other singles interested in cooking while traveling. The course offers tutelage from a group of professional chefs. The villa is located in the beautiful countryside with three rivers floating through it, making the location ideal for picnics and hiking.

Ranch Vacations
For singles with an adventurous spirit, a ranch vacation at Idaho's Red Horse Mountain is just the thing. Enjoy horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, trail rides and socializing by the campfire with other single men and women. Accommodations are either in a suite or cabin. Other amenities include cocktail hours, guided tours, a private horse, wireless Internet and a seven-course dinner.
