Every one of our travellers gets the same treatment – crafted and planned holidays to satisfy your travelling desires.
Whether you’re someone who prefers personal comfort or likes a bit of “you time” mixed with the company of like-minded people, there are options for everyone on a solo European river cruise.
Stand on the deck of one of our five-star ships with fellow travellers and soak in the glorious landscapes along the likes of the Rhine and the Blue Danube. Settle into a roomy cabin and get comfortable as our floating hotels take you on spectacular voyages. Swap stories with fellow travellers and make lifelong friends, pointing out the beautiful scenery and stopping at an array of ports along the way. Will you choose a cruise passing through Porto (the home of port wine, so it'd be rude not to have a tipple) or meander along the Seine, stopping in Rouen (one of Europe’s finest medieval cities we may add) and visit the delights of Monet’s Garden – the Japanese inspired water garden. Exquisite.
And through all this, you will be accompanied by a Riviera Travel Cruise Director. They will be your trusted guide on your journey and will look after you throughout, ensuring everything runs smoothly and giving you insider tips on how to spend your spare time ashore, should you need it.
"A trip full of surprises that excelled all my expectations."
"My first river cruise and full of trepidation. But this all disappeared with all the care and attention from the cruise management and boat crew.
It was a solos cruise and there was a great social element that I had not expected at all!"

It was my first solo holiday and I've loved every second. I felt very safe, met some lovely people. The ship was beautiful and the staff were wonderful. They were so kind and helpful. The food was delicious and the entertainment was good. I can't praise Riviera Travel enough. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

Solo River Cruise FAQs
A solo cruise is a great introduction to the joys of travelling solo. You can enjoy your own company, but there are also plenty of opportunities to socialise and explore new places together. River cruise ships are smaller than ocean liners, offering a relaxed atmosphere and gentle pace. There are also fewer passengers which creates a more intimate experience with a chance to get to know your fellow travellers.
Cruises for singles are one of the safest ways to travel solo. When on a Riviera Travel solo holiday, we have staff available 24/7 and extensive security measures to ensure you always feel safe during your trip.
Cruises for solo travellers don’t have to leave you out of pocket. Our solo pricing has no unexpected costs, and you’ll also benefit from our solo-only perks. On top of the flights, transfers and meals (and more!) we offer to every UK guest, we'll also meet you at your UK departure airport and help you through check in. On arrival, you can enjoy welcome drinks and dinner with your fellow explorers to break the ice and when you're ready to rest, you'll do so in a luxurious, private double cabin. Explore our fantastic deals and find the trip that is perfect for you.
A solo cruise is not a lonely experience. There are plenty of opportunities to socialise and meet other solo travellers. To get to know your fellow travellers, you’ll enjoy a welcome dinner and drink at the beginning of your holiday. Our Riviera Tour Managers specialise in solo travel and will ensure you feel safe and welcome at all times.
