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!

More about our solo cruises to Switzerland

On our Rhine cruise to Switzerland for solo travellers, you'll join a group of like-minded solo travellers, travel in the company of our expert Cruise Director and enjoy the privacy of your room while on board, with the flexibility to socialise as and when you want during excursions and in the onboard bar and lounge.

We'll stay moored in Basel as we explore Switzerland, travelling by coach to visit the beautiful city of Lucerne - a favourite of Queen Victoria. And we'll take a scenic alpine train ride through Bernese Oberland - described by the composer Mendelssohn as 'the most wonderful of all in this unbelievably beautiful country' - before cruising through the heart of Germany.
