Already love our solo holidays? From 2027, the MS George Eliot becomes the world's first river cruise ship dedicated entirely to solo travellers, joining Riviera's wider collection of solo-exclusive cruises and tours.
For years, we've been helping independent travellers explore the world through our collection of solo holidays, from river cruises and escorted tours to ocean cruises and worldwide adventures.
Now, we're taking the next step.
From 2027, the MS George Eliot will become the world's first river cruise ship dedicated entirely to solo travellers. While we already offer a wide range of holidays created exclusively for solo guests, George Eliot is the first ship in our fleet where every departure, every cabin and every onboard experience has been designed with independent travellers in mind.
You'll still enjoy everything that makes a Riviera river cruise special, from expert Cruise Directors and guided excursions to exceptional dining and welcoming service.
There's no sharing, no single supplements and no compromise. Just your own double cabin, inviting social spaces and the freedom to explore Europe's great rivers alongside like-minded travellers.
Whether you've travelled solo before or are considering your first independent adventure, MS George Eliot represents an exciting new choice within our growing collection of solo cruises.
"We are so excited that from June 2027 the George Eliot will become the world’s first solo-exclusive river cruise ship. This really shows our dedication to solo travellers and will allow us to offer a much larger choice of dates with solo river cruises operating all season."
-Linda Harris - Solos Product Manager
