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.
