Solo ocean cruises

Explore

Join like-minded solo guests on a luxurious ocean cruise exploring southern Europe - Greece, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro or Turkey.

More about our solo ocean cruises

You could explore the Adriatic coastline on a yacht cruise with an exclusive guest list. Here, secluded bays and idyllic islands make the perfect spot to stop for a swim in the warm turquoise waters, and historic limestone cities are waiting to be explored. We'll sail between smaller islands and ports, showing you the spectacular coastal views that large cruise liners can't and introducing you to the quiet coastal towns that most tourists miss when visiting Croatia.  

Or perhaps you'll choose a voyage on Celestyal Journey, a 219m cruise ship with all the facilities you'd expect from a floating resort - countless bars and restaurants, onboard wellness facilities, and so much entertainment you'll never be at a loss for things to do. With two itineraries to choose from, you can visit a mixture of coastal towns and cities in Greece, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey, exploring their legendary history and breathtaking natural beauty.

What's more, you won't be travelling alone! You join a group of like-minded solo travellers on an epic ocean odyssey. You'll meet your Tour Manager (or another member of the Rivera team) at the airport and travel together. Get to know your fellow guests during welcome drinks or dinner at the beginning of your trip and enjoy excursions and swim stops together - with the freedom to retreat to your private room for a little "you time" whenever you want. 

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!

Expert Tour Manager looking after you throughout

Our Riviera Tour Managers specialise in solo travel. They’ll ensure you feel safe and welcome, making your trip one to remember (you should learn lots from them too)!

Break the ice at the welcome dinner
