Ocean Cruises for Solo Travellers

Explore

Join like-minded solo guests on a luxurious ocean cruise exploring southern Europe - Greece, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro or Turkey.

You could explore the Adriatic coastline on a yacht cruise with an exclusive guest list. Here, secluded bays and idyllic islands make the perfect spot to stop for a swim in the warm turquoise waters, and historic limestone cities are waiting to be explored. We'll sail between smaller islands and ports, showing you the spectacular coastal views that large cruise liners can't and introducing you to the quiet coastal towns that most tourists miss when visiting Croatia.

Or perhaps you'll choose a voyage on Celestyal Journey, a 219m cruise ship with all the facilities you'd expect from a floating resort - countless bars and restaurants, onboard wellness facilities, and so much entertainment you'll never be at a loss for things to do. With two itineraries to choose from, you can visit a mixture of coastal towns and cities in Greece, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey, exploring their legendary history and breathtaking natural beauty.

What's more, you won't be travelling alone! You join a group of like-minded solo travellers on an epic ocean odyssey. You'll meet your Tour Manager (or another member of the Rivera team) at the airport and travel together. Get to know your fellow guests during welcome drinks or dinner at the beginning of your trip and enjoy excursions and swim stops together - with the freedom to retreat to your private room for a little "you time" whenever you want.
