No1Ma Posted September 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Looking to take a European river cruise in 2023. Which, if any, cruise lines have the best SS rates? Viking is $200 under the price of 2 ppl. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted September 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Stay away from Viking. Everyone acts like they're the only game in town but they're not solo friendly at all. I've done 3 European river cruises on Uniworld that either had no single supplement or a reduced single supplement. Every year they come out with Solo Savings. The list isn't available for 2023. It will come out sometime next year. You just have to watch their website. I'm booked on Tauck for a Christmas cruise, and generally their Category E (aquarium class) cabins have no single supplement. Tauck and Uniworld are more inclusive and are a better value than Viking IMO. Gate 1, a budget river cruise line, also gives solos a break on their fares. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan4Fathom Posted September 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I just watched an online "tour' of Riviera river cruises yesterday. I was impressed by what they offer for solo cruisers. A certain percentage of solo cabins on every cruise and some cruises are for solo cruisers only. Rooms are larger than those found on Viking and they go into ports that are closer to embarkation and debarkation airports. Definitely worth checking out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted September 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I've heard of Riviera river cruises but don't know anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve cruised twice on Uniworld on a special low price. Great cruiseline! I’d avoid Emerald and its parent Scenic as the corporate communications are rubbish. What a headache for 12 months, then a lovely 10 day cruise. No thx. I’ll send my money to a responsive cruiseline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
