Solo River Cruisers

[Scrapnana]

Found this article on the CC UK site. It does not mention how much they will be charging solo cruisers but at least they recognize that we are a " fast-growing segment of traveler" in the words of the CEO.

Scroll down to "Good News for Solos"

but see AMA offering solo cruise discounts for SOME cruises.Also they have solo cabins on some ships.

Maybe we can get a list of just river cruises and their solo policy?

It would help rather than having to go thru EACH line for details.Or even if they have "sharing room with other solos policy"?Or even links to social media ?:confused:

I took at Russia river cruise about 8 years ago with Grand Circle travel. This is a 55+ USA company. We went from St. Petersburg (3 nights on the riverboat) to a week cruising the river through the small towns of Russia and ended up doing 3 nights in a Moscow hotel. It was a wonderful trip and a great way to do Russia.

 

Someday I hope to do another river cruise. Faith

river cruises,like AMA,SCenic,and Tauck. Prefer ones that use TA,some dont like Grand Circle and Vantage.Having been on 10 so far, know you GET what you pay for.

Lots of info re this on River Cruising here on CC

But would like solo cruiser info listed.;)

I thought that Grand Circle did a wonderful job on my river cruise. I wanted for nothing. I lucked out that the river boat I was on was in its first year of operation and was very comfortable. This trip was a real immersion in Russian culture.

 

I think many solo travelers are looking for a decent deal when they travel. And the thing is, the better the deal, the more solo travelers you will find on the trip. At least that has been my experience with my land trips, solo ocean cruises, and my one river cruise. Faith

with lists of river cruise companies and their solo policy?Maybe in category like luxury,premium,etc?

 

Faith, I agree we took a Viking to Russia a few yrs.ago and LOVED the whole experience.

 

Now looking at one in hi er end for sister in law.;)

Uniworld and Scenic are offering specific cruises with NO SS.

That seems to be the trend.;)
