Some are looking for romance, some for something more. But they’ve all chosen to spend their holiday with people they have never met before. And pretty soon, some will become good friends, some enemies and some lovers. And many of them will experience the unexpected, including their tour manager Eve, who perhaps has the biggest shock of all.

A singles’ holiday to India’s Golden Triangle – Taj Mahal, the pink city of Jaipur, tiger-spotting in Ranthambore, the noisy, crowded streets of Delhi – all go to make up a trip that is hot, humid and spicy.
Eve Mitchell, Travel Together’s tour manager extraordinaire has a couple of familiar faces in her little group of travellers and others that she hasn’t met before; sexy man-eating pensioners, a compulsive over-eater, a constant whiner and a man with a personal problem. And there’s a big surprise awaiting someone -and Eve – early one morning.
By the end of the tour, which sees our group travelling by coach, rickshaw, train and elephant, she will know rather more about some of their innermost secrets than she’d like. But Eve deals with all the twists and turns the trip throws at her as we come to understand what makes people travel the world with a bunch of complete strangers and appreciate the success that is a singles’ holiday.

On a sunny afternoon at the end of July The Viking Queen sets sail in all her splendour from the London Cruise Centre at Tilbury, down the River Thames towards the sea at the start of a cruise to Amsterdam and the Norwegian Fjords with some Travel Together singles on-board.
As the group is only twelve strong and she already knows three of them, tour manager extraordinaire Eve Mitchell naively asks herself ‘What could possibly go wrong?’ Before long she finds out. Eccentric twins; a grieving young widow; a pensioner with a very risqué part-time job; a myopic millionaire looking for love; a recovering alcoholic and someone who’s not quite what they seem all form the motley crew of shipmates who make Eve rue her words.
Professional and polished as always, as she weaves her tour manager magic against a backdrop of the majestic, magnificent mountains of the silent, resplendent Fjords, Eve’s personal life starts to unravel.
