Riverside Waives Single Supplement

Solo travel is booming, with everyone from Gen Z to retirees getting onboard. A recent study from the Road Scholar found that 85% of their solo travellers are women - 60% of whom are married but choose independent adventures. River cruising offers a compelling option for seeking independent exploration and self-discovery in some of Europe’s most intriguing and safe destinations. However, the cost of traditional cruises, often designed for couples, can be a barrier for solo discovery. Recognizing this, Riverside Luxury Cruises offers an allotment of Harmony Suites (aboard Riverside Mozart) and Melody Suites (Riverside Debussy and Ravel) with no single supplement added, allowing all solo cruisers to embark on their European adventures without incurring additional costs.

Cruising on Riverside’s intimate ships fosters a sense of community and camaraderie, making it an ideal travel experience for guests travelling on their own. The intimate atmosphere allows for easy interaction with other guests, creating opportunities to forge new friendships and share unforgettable experiences. A two-to-one guest to crew ratio also allows for more personalized assistance, and Riverside’s all-inclusive fares remove the worry of additional and unplanned expenses.

Popular itineraries among solo travellers include sailings along the Danube, which call on three major European capital cities: Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. Consider the recently announced  Danube New Wine Celebrations sailing from Vienna to Budapest departing on November 5th, 2025 aboard the beautiful Riverside Mozart. Visit three regal Habsburg capitals, four welcoming historical towns and the incomparable Wachau Valley, with its terraced vineyards and apricot orchards. Bask in the cheery atmosphere as the locals celebrate the season’s grape harvest and St. Martin’s festivities — when the new wine is blessed and served for the first time. Enjoy a visit to Melk’s Benedictine Abbey, and Esztergom, the birth and coronation place of the first Hungarian king, St. Stephen, as well as the capital of Hungary until the 13th century. In France, the Rhône Rhapsody sailing appeals to foodies with a visit to the gourmet mecca that is Les Halles in Lyon, and visit the famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The historic city of Avignon is an ideal port to wander, shop and taste to your hearts content. And finally, the Romantic Rhine Northbound itinerary isn’t just for couples. With ports of call in Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands, this journey offers some of Europe’s most beautiful scenery, best viewed from the top deck of a luxury river ship.

Riverside Luxury Cruises is Europe’s newest luxury river cruise line offering distinctive vacations on the Rhine, Rhône, Danube, Moselle, and Main rivers. The all-suites Riverside Mozart, Riverside Ravel, and Riverside Debussy offer the largest average suite size, all with king-size beds, highest staff-to-guest ratio, and up to five onboard restaurants. Guests can choose active tours from a menu of Riverside Choice excursions; take out a bike (e- or manual, stored on board), for self-guided exploration; and bask in a rejuvenating treatment in the onboard FEHI Spa (services at an additional charge). On all itineraries, the ships stay late or overnight in some of Europe’s most captivating towns and cities, so guests can immerse in authentic cultures and the destination’s social life. Throughout, every member of Riverside’s exceptional staff and crew deliver intuitive and personalized service for an all-inclusive and luxurious experience.

On board, guests enjoy butler service in every suite; gourmet cuisine made with high-quality, fresh ingredients à la minute; included premium wines and spirits; complimentary StarLink broadband Wi-Fi; included shore excursions in every port to immerse in Europe’s history, cultures and landmarks; prepaid gratuities for crew and guides/drivers on land; and complimentary ground transfers.
