Travelling as a Couple for the First Time

by Kosher River Cruise Kosher Tour Operator

They say you never really know someone until you live with them and you travel with them. You've ticked off the first box now it's time to jump the next hurdle. Going on a cruise is a great way to ease into traveling together. There are many options to choose from like Disney, kosherica cruises, and better yet Kosher River Cruises.

It's going to be nerve-wracking, and there will be times where you don't know how to handle yourself and your partner. Take down notes and book your next cruise because you're about to go on your first romantic getaway.

You will encounter many awkward silences, and that's okay

When you've been together for a while, you run out of things to talk about, even more so when you travel together. Relish in that silence; you don't always need to fill the air with words. The talking will resume sooner or later, allow yourself to walk in silence while you're on the tour excursion.

Come dinner time; there will be plenty to talk about. Food brings out the best in people.

Discuss your expectations beforehand

There are times to be spontaneous, but planning isn't something you can forego on. There are three aspects that you need to talk about:

Budget
Accommodation
Itinerary

In that order. You need to be on the same page before and during the travel; otherwise, it will cause plenty of confusion and tension when things aren't going as planned.

Give each other space when it's necessary

You'll be on a boat; there's literally no way to jump ship when things get hard. Give your partner space when they ask for it, the last thing you want is to be at each other's throats for the rest of the trip. People need to decompress now and then, all it takes is a 15-minute walk around the deck or reading a few chapters on the sun lounger.

The itinerary should consist of things that both of you like

It can't be one-sided otherwise it will feel like you're just dragging your partner around. Alternate the activities; it should be equal parts yours and equal parts your partner’s. Make your getaway fun for the both of you, not just one of you.

Going on your first adventure together can be exhilarating and nerve-wracking. It will be difficult at times, but it will all be worth it in the end when you've made memories to last a lifetime.
