First-ever “Cougar†cruise
The first ever international cruise for “cougars” – older women who are interested in younger men – left San Diego on its way to Ensenada, Mexico.
The cruise was sold out.
It was promoted as a cruise for the cougar who “knows exactly what she wants … (and) what she doesn’t want is children, cohabitation or commitment”.
Industry experts welcome the cruise, saying that older women should not be discriminated against because of a relationship with a younger man. And that it also could be a new trend.
"Age discrimination is perhaps the most pervasive prejudice in American Society," said Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals in the US, a sponsor of the cruise. He added:
"Older women, in particular, are victimized by our youth-oriented society. They are regarded as ‘non-sexy’… The truth is that there are millions of American men who find older women attractive, and we will prove it on the Cougar Cruise."
"We were surprised to discover that there has never been an International Cougar Cruise,” added Ann Thomas, executive director of The Singles Travel Company.
Tickets cost from $US125 ($138) per person, for double occupancy, according to the australian.com.au
