Solo Travel FAQs
Yes! While travelers of all ages are welcome, our European river cruises and guided tours are thoughtfully designed with the preferences and pace of travelers aged 50 and above in mind. We focus on cultural enrichment, comfortable accommodations, and a relaxed travel pace that allows you to fully enjoy each destination.
No. Small ships (typically 100-200 passengers) create an intimate, friendly atmosphere ideal for solo travelers. River cruising is perfect if you want to see multiple European destinations with like-minded people and without constantly packing and unpacking. You'll wake up in a new city each day while enjoying the comfort of the same cabin. River cruises offer a relaxed pace with daytime cruising through scenic landscapes and evening arrivals in historic cities
On select departures, we waive the single supplement fee, which means solo travelers pay the same per-person rate as those traveling with companions. This can save you hundreds of dollars. These special departures are limited, so we recommend booking early. Our travel specialists can help you find the best no-supplement options for your preferred dates and destinations.
Yes – Riviera Travel cruises are widely considered excellent value because so much is included in the upfront price. Fares cover accommodations on premium river cruise ships or in 4-star hotels, daily breakfast and dinner, guided tours, expert tour managers, transportation between destinations, and Riviera’s all-inclusive drinks package on river cruises. There are no hidden costs, so what you see is generally what you pay, aside from optional excursions and personal expenses. For solo travellers, Riviera also waives the single supplement on selected departures, meaning you pay the same per-person rate as guests travelling with companions – a saving that can often amount to hundreds of dollars.
