but just be with other people." A national business cater- ing exclusively to singles is Singleworld, based in New York. "They have blocked space on a lot of cruises," says Rotenberg, "and they sort of match people up according to age and sex. My nephew took a trip with that company several years ago. He was 23 years old, and he had a wonderful time. It was a group of singles between the ages of 20 and 35 . . . It was a 15-day tour to Europe. "That's an industry all by itself, to be able to block that kind of space and then pair people up." With more singles now in the population, Rotenberg wants to give them a local travel option, "for people to be able to know that there's someplace that they can call that really wants to promote singles travel, because there's a lot of people that are alone that would like to travel. But they don't want to travel alone." ❑ The trip at $1,835 per per- son is based on double oc- cupancy per outside cabin with third and fourth person rates available upon request.
