Riverside Cruises: Solo Travel Without Supplement Fees
Solo travel is experiencing significant growth, with an increasing number of people, from younger generations to retirees, choosing to embark on journeys alone.
According to a recent study by Road Scholar, 85% of solo travelers are women, 60% of whom are married but prefer independent adventures. River cruises represent an ideal choice for those who wish to explore on their own and discover themselves while visiting some of Europe’s most captivating destinations. However, the cost of traditional cruises, designed for couples, can be a barrier for solo travelers. Riverside Luxury Cruises has therefore decided to offer a selection of Harmony suites aboard Riverside Mozart and Melody suites aboard Riverside Debussy and Ravel without the single occupancy supplement, allowing solo travelers to embark on their European adventure without additional costs.

Jennifer Halboth, CEO of Riverside Collection Americas, emphasized that the elimination of the single occupancy supplement on some of the suites is aimed at making river cruises more accessible to solo travelers. In particular, the initiative targets women who wish to explore Europe independently. Whether traveling alone or with others, the company’s goal is to offer everyone the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience, tailoring their river cruise to their own pace and desires.
Riverside ships, with their size and refined atmosphere, provide the ideal setting for solo travelers seeking an exclusive yet social experience. The intimate environment fosters spontaneous encounters and authentic relationships among guests, offering the opportunity to form new friendships and share unforgettable moments. The service, characterized by a privileged guest-to-crew ratio of two guests per crew member, ensures personalized and discreet attention. Furthermore, the all-inclusive formula allows guests to fully enjoy the journey, free from concerns about extra costs or unexpected expenses.
Among the most popular itineraries for solo travelers is the Danube Medley, which touches three European capitals: Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest. This itinerary includes three days in lively Budapest, an ideal city for solo exploration, with the opportunity to relax in the famous thermal baths or discover the nightlife. In France, the Rhone Rhapsody itinerary is particularly favored by food lovers, with a visit to Lyon, the gastronomic capital, and a stop in the renowned vineyard of Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. Avignon, with its history and commercial streets, is another perfect stop for solo travelers. Finally, the Romantic Rhine Northbound itinerary offers some of Europe’s most breathtaking landscapes, crossing Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands, with the opportunity to admire the views from the deck of a luxury ship.
