We’ve launched a world first - a river cruise ship just for solo travellers. No sharing, no supplements, just your kind of adventure.
Setting a bold new standard in travel, Riviera is proud to unveil a true world first: the MS George Eliot, which will be the only river cruise ship on the planet dedicated exclusively for solo travellers.
Every detail of the MS George Eliot puts solo guests at centre stage, from your own double cabin to welcoming communal spaces where new connections are made every day. There’s no sharing required - only the freedom to explore iconic rivers with like-minded adventurers who cherish the joys of going it alone, together.
With this pioneering ship, Riviera is not just opening new horizons; we’re redefining solo river cruising itself. Be part of travel history and secure your spot aboard the world’s first solo-exclusive river cruise ship. The journey of a lifetime awaits in 2027.
"We are so excited that from April 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
