Single cabins and supplements simply don’t exist. On board MS George Eliot, every guest enjoys a full-sized, double cabin for sole occupancy, a rare luxury in river cruising. Expect elegant interiors, plush bedding, climate control, and large windows or French balconies that frame the river like a moving artwork.

This is your space. Spread out, slow down, and settle into the quiet pleasure of having it all to yourself.

Dining on MS George Eliot is refreshingly relaxed. Riviera’s welcoming restaurant and casual café are designed to make solo dining feel natural, not notable. Sit with new friends, join a table when the mood strikes, or enjoy a peaceful meal on your own; it’s entirely your choice.

There’s no choreography, no expectation, just good food, good conversation, and an atmosphere where everyone belongs.

Life on board strikes a perfect balance between sociable and serene. The elegant lounge hosts talks, music-filled nights and informal entertainment tailored to solo guests, while the sun deck invites you to linger with a coffee or a glass of something sparkling as Europe drifts by.

There’s also a small wellness area for moments of calm, plus plenty of thoughtfully designed shared spaces where vibes flow naturally.

Riviera’s expertly managed excursions are designed to suit solo travellers, offering the reassurance of guided exploration with the freedom to peel away and wander when curiosity calls. Join a group tour through historic cities, or spend an afternoon on our own, happily strolling down a cobbled side street.

With experienced tour managers and like-minded travellers around you, independence never feels isolating; it feels empowering.

From the grandeur of Vienna to the storybook towns lining the Rhine, or the rich cultures of Eastern Europe along the Danube, MS George Eliot’s itineraries are as inspiring as the ship itself. Highlights include journeys from Budapest to the Black Sea, passing through lesser-seen corners of Europe, and classic routes between Cologne and Vienna, where every bend in the river brings something new.

With a full season of solo-only departures, Riviera isn’t just offering river cruises without supplements; they’re redefining what solo travel can feel like.
