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 wooly 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 or our solo festive cruises gives you the chance to see exciting cities and towns along the while you explore and shop for that perfect yuletide souvenir. They’re the ideal mix of our classic river cruises 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
The Tour Manager will meet you at the airport (or Eurostar station), check in and travel there with you. Where this isn’t possible, a Riviera team member will greet you at the airport, help you check in and introduce you to other members in the group.
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 specialise in solo travel. They’ll ensure you feel safe and welcome, making your trip one to remember (you should learn lots from them too)!
Break the ice at the welcome dinner
To get to know your fellow travellers, you’ll enjoy a welcome dinner and drink at the beginning of your holiday. It’s the perfect start to the holiday. Your wonderful Tour Manager will ensure you never dine alone (unless you choose to).
