About Libby Shields

Single and a lover of travel, I developed this program after too many trips alone. Since its founding in 1995, World Travel For Singles has taken groups of singles on cruises and tours all over the world.

Traditionally solo travelers must succumb to the dreaded single supplement which typically is double the fare for cruises. Historically, it’s the largest group that receives the most amount of discrimination by the travel industry. The cruise lines want to make up for the “lost” revenue for that empty bed in your cabin, as one less passenger on board means one less person buying drinks, souvenirs, shore excursions, etc. Our roommate matching services allows for all travelers to be matched with a same sex roommate to avoid paying the additional single supplement. Particular attention is paid to matching people close in age and smoking & non smoking preferences. The cruise lines have come a long way in offering to waive single supplement on select sail dates and some cruise lines now offer solo cabins without double the cost.
