Let me introduce to you Cougar Cruises (seriously!), a travel experience catered to single older women with an affinity for younger men.
The discovery of Cougar Cruises continues last week's theme of features like the crowing of Miss Cougar USA, cougar conventions and the new hit TV show, Cougar Town.
The International Cougar Cruise sails from San Diego, CA to Ensenada, Mexico, from December 4-7, 2009. The ship is the Carnival Cruise Fun Ship Elation which disembarks just in time to snag a beau for the holidays.
If I could I’d argue that I’m not a puma, but with the quantity of cougar articles I’ve been writing, I’m afraid I’d lose the argument. I’m just here to point out patterns and cougars—or older women after younger men—are a hot topic. If Cougar Cruises aren’t enough to convince you, check below and see for yourself.
