Riviera Expands Solo Itinerary Options

Riviera River Cruises has added three new solo traveller itineraries in France, Germany and the Netherlands next year, as well as 2020 departure dates for four existing solo itineraries.

On these cruises dedicated entirely to solo travellers, guests can Riviera’s five-star ships, fine culinary experiences and expert-led excursions without paying a single supplement.

“As interest in solo travel has grown in recent years, we’re proud to be the only European river cruise line offering departures exclusively for guests who are on their own – on these cruises, that means single occupancy in every cabin and suite across the ship, with no single supplement,” said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera River Cruises’ vice-president, sales and marketing, North America. “Guests will enjoy luxurious accommodations and fine dining while on board, as well as fascinating excursions into classic cities and lesser-known towns, all at an exceptional value.”
