Why Solo River Cruise Holidays in Europe are Perfect for Travellers Over 60

Why Solo Cruise Holidays in Europe are Perfect for Travellers Over 60

European river cruising combines a short journey from home with the thrill of exploring somewhere new, all at the relaxed pace that only a cruise can offer. One Traveller adds to this winning formula by chartering premium cruise vessels just for our guests. 

Are river cruises suitable for solo travellers? 

River cruises are absolutely suitable for solo travellers! In fact, our river cruises are entirely populated by solo travellers! With like-minded individuals sharing a passion for the places we’re visiting, everyone is quite literally in the same boat. 

Solo travellers over 60 will find our European river cruises perfectly paced. Forget repacking your suitcase every day like a regular touring holiday. Here, the destinations come to you, sometimes right outside your window! Excursions are local to your mooring and can often be undertaken without additional transport. At the end of a hard day’s pottering around the sights, return to your floating hotel to relax with your shipmates.

One Traveller makes budgeting for your holiday easy, too. Our singles’ river cruises carry no additional supplements. Simply pay once and it's all taken care of;

• Meals
• Drinks
• Excursions
• Flights (or Eurostar)
• Gratuities

Our package holidays are truly all-inclusive, with no hidden costs. You can truly switch off and relax.

Our expert local guides and ever-present Tour Managers are at your service, ensuring each day brings exciting new highlights. They’ll take care of you, and the logistics of the holiday, ensuring you’re left with care-free days dedicated to new discoveries and uninterrupted enjoyment. 

Solo but never alone

As the award-winning mature solo travel experts, we ensure our holidays are always inclusive and friendly. Despite having the space and luxury of your own double cabin (with outside views guaranteed), you’ll likely want to spend most time with your fellow travellers. Shared meals on board and in local restaurants make dining the most social parts of the day! We’ll even take care of seating arrangements for you! 

Of course, you may sometimes wish to find a quiet corner, or laze on the sun deck while the scenery drifts by. There are no rules here, but our Tour Managers, ship’s crew and fellow travellers do their utmost to ensure everybody feels included. That is the beauty of holidaying with like-minded company.

The perfect European river cruises for solo travellers over 60 

It’s all very well having great company for your holiday, but you also need some interesting sights along the way! Portugal’s UNESCO-listed Douro Valley is simply perfect for exploring from the water. Bookended by Porto and Salamanca, our cruise takes you to baroque towns and local quintas via stunning riverside landscapes. 

See the Dutch Bulb fields in full bloom on our extra special sailing through the canals and waterways of the Netherlands. Visit the legendary Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam, with its carpets of colourful tulips, daffodils and hyacinths.

Join our Rhone Cruise by Rail and things get even easier with our luggage delivery service, included at no extra cost. Hop aboard Eurostar in upgraded seating and with no cumbersome bags weighing you down. It’s the ultimate stress-free start to your holiday. 

Will you join the legions of artists, poets and authors to be inspired by the Resplendent Rhine? Marvel at its beauty with new friends over a glass or two of local Reisling on the sundeck! 

Or perhaps join our solo Danube Christmas cruise. Glide through the artery of Europe to experience a variety of landscapes, languages, cultures and cuisines. Refined Vienna and its imperial splendour; confident Budapest and its Belle epoque charm; and finally, to Bratislava with its youthful energy. 

Conclusion

Solo river cruising in Europe is perfect for solo travellers over 60. Friendly, accessible and insightful, with everything taken care of, they’re guaranteed to live long in the memory. With unbeatable value and like-minded company throughout, it’s no wonder One Traveller’s sailings are so popular.
