FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Valentines Day, SinglesCruise.com is celebrating the couples who have met and fell in love onboard one of their organized singles cruises. The company brings together single travelers from all over the world who want to enhance their cruise getaway by meeting and mingling with other unattached vacationers.

"I am really thankful and blessed that through SinglesCruise.com I have met and made lifelong friendships with amazing people including my soul mate," said Texas passenger Carrie Vargas. "My fiance and I had a connection that we knew had begun on the Halloween 2004 singles cruise and was just getting stronger and better on the Mexican Riviera 2005 singles cruise. He proposed during my family vacation, and we are now planning a fall 2008 wedding with a small reception onboard the upcoming Halloween singles cruise to celebrate with our friends."

"I believe we create real love connections simply because we introduce people and not email addresses," explained Shelby Bergeron, SinglesCruise.com's lead cruise director. "There really is no substitution for looking someone in the eye and starting an actual conversation. SinglesCruise.com provides a setting where you can meet real people, plus enjoy a great vacation!"

SinglesCruise.com hosts their program onboard 25 cruises a year on a variety of cruise lines and itineraries. Through dedicated singles cruise directors, the company provides exclusive entertaining events and activities for the solo passengers to participate in throughout their vacation at sea such as theme nights, cocktail mixers, games, dance classes, karaoke contests, beach parties, speed meeting, wine tastings and more.

"A singles cruise gives you the opportunity to meet other interesting people and create friendships from all over the world," said another past cruiser Lori Sgarbossa from Toronto. "I went on my first singles cruise in April 2005 not looking for that special someone, but for fun and sun. I had such a great time and met so many new friends, some of whom I stay in touch with to this day. On my second singles cruise over Halloween 2005, I still wasn't looking for a serious relationship, but I ended up meeting my future husband Jim Robertson from Vancouver."

"I love that I met my wife Trish swimming with the stingrays in Grand Cayman," said past cruiser Jason Garrett. "We have such a great 'how they met' story! I had tried meeting people through various dating services, club scenes, etc., but this gave me a 'no-pressure' approach during a fun vacation. I never thought that I would meet the woman of my dreams at sea!"

"It's hard to tell exactly how many love matches our cruises produce because not everyone lets us know afterwards, but we typically hear from about five to ten couples a year who have become engaged or married after meeting onboard as well as a number of couples who are in a serious relationship," added Bergeron.
