Uw Rr Fr Exterior 9682

Discover the Joy of Traveling Solo Without Going It Alone

Traveling on your own can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, and a river cruise is an ideal way to do it. By booking a Uniworld River Cruise with Grand European Travel, solo travelers can enjoy the perfect combination of independence, comfort, and connection. (Plus, our guests save more with GET exclusive offers!) Every cruise is thoughtfully designed to remove the stress of planning while surrounding you with like-minded travelers who share your love of exploration.

A Carefree Way to See Europe

Planning a solo trip across multiple countries can be challenging. Booking a river cruise with GET makes solo travel simple, and it's one of the best ways to experience Europe. Each day, your elegant ship docks in the heart of beautiful cities and charming villages. Your accommodations, meals, and daily excursions are included, so you can spend your time discovering rather than organizing. Whether you are visiting the castles along the Rhine, the vineyards of Bordeaux, or the cultural treasures of the enchanting Danube, everything is arranged for you from start to finish.

A Welcoming Community for Solo Travelers

Solo river cruising offers the best of both worlds. You can enjoy your own space, yet never feel alone. Onboard programs, wine tastings, and small-group excursions naturally create opportunities to connect with others. Whether you join a guided walking tour, attend an evening lecture, or share a meal with fellow travelers, the experience feels personal and engaging. Many guests find that what begins as a solo adventure becomes a journey shared with friends who appreciate travel just as much.
