A Christmas market cruise is a great way to ease yourself into the festive season, and we've launched new departures exclusively for solo travellers.
Picture this. Getting into the festive spirit with your woolly scarf and hat on with the backdrop of beautifully decorated markets, with delicious treats just waiting to temp you. Festive breaks in Europe are magical, as towns and cities are transformed into winter wonderlands. Wander around world-famous Christmas markets, sipping mulled wine and buying presents, while Christmas carols fill the air.
Each of our solo festive cruises gives you the chance to see exciting cities and towns allowing you to explore and shop for that perfect yuletide souvenir. They’re the ideal mix of our classic river cruises that we’re known for, with that added festive sparkle. And, as with all of our solo holidays, there are little touches to make you feel at home, such as welcome drinks to get to know your fellow guests.
Travel solo, yet never alone
The Riviera holiday begins from your departure point
A Riviera team member will greet you at the airport or Eurostar station, assist you with check-in, and travel with you. Occasionally, this role may be fulfilled by your Tour Manager instead.
Less is more with small group sizes
The maximum group size of our solo tours is just 25 people. This gives a more intimate and personalised experience. For ocean and river cruising, it depends on your ship size. Our yacht cruises having a maximum of just 19 cabins, so just 19 guests!
Expert Tour Manager looking after you throughout
Our Riviera Tour Managers are hand-selected for their sociability, empathy and ability to connect with solo travellers. They’ll ensure you feel supported and welcome, making your trip one to remember – and you’re bound to learn a lot from them too!
Break the ice at the welcome dinner
To help you get to know your fellow travellers, your holiday begins with a welcome dinner and drink – the perfect way to settle in. And when it comes to mealtimes, you’ll always have company if you want it, thanks to your wonderful Tour Manager.
