Have you thought about Findhorn in Scotland? Not as a cruise obviously, but as a spiritual retreat?
I have lived in various commune setups (in my youth) + been involved with self- sufficiency/organic farms so this is not quite what I was looking for in terms of a holiday. Thanks for the suggestion though.
PS: If it's a cruise or nothing. I don't know of anything, but maybe the magazine 'Kindred Spirit' would be the place to look or ask.
That could be worth checking out - thanks. I heard that one of the downsides of cruises (apart from the possible food poisoning, which can be rife) is that it can take hours to embark and disembark....but that sounds a larger cruise than what I was thinking of going on.
I have thought of cruises, but the possiblity of being stuck with people I cannot or don't wish to socialise with puts me off. I find the overload of empathic input from others far too heavy for any form of protection or shielding to stop, but the ideal of a nice balcony room cruising down the Nile might be tempting? The people that would want that might be somewhat interesting?
