it goes without saying - partner/family then friends. but not only does there have to be an interest, there has to be a capacity. i mean traveling well together, because its possible for one person to pay for everything.

personally, i am single and travel with one person. i look forward to eventually traveling with others.

if OP has never met potential friends / travel partners while traveling at properties discussed here, i find that very disheartening from a personal standpoint, but i remain optimistic.

not really. FS explorer and oberoi zahra highly likely. american safari cruise (et al) maybe.

(seadream and ms europa might be regarded ok here. not sure about residensea.)

i did seabourn crossing and silversea alaska. i only met one couple of note, on the silversea alaska, who were actually better traveled than the regular here. probably in line with vuittonsofstyle, but different destinations. but while they have been to many properties discussed here, they book through tours like A&K and the even higher end boutique tour operators.

for travelers like here, at a luxury property i met a small group of a larger group that travels together. not sure how large the group is when they stay at properties discussed here, but they said theyve done trips with scores of people. friends and their multigenerational families.
