River and yacht cruises for solo travelers
Explore stunning destinations at your own pace when traveling solo on our extensive collection of cruises.
Discover solo cruising with Emerald Cruises
From the moment you step on board, you have the freedom to do as much or as little as you please, whether you want to tour each stunning destination in depth or simply unwind in the contemporary surroundings of your yacht or Star-Ship.
Traveling solo on a cruise has become one of the easiest ways to enjoy a relaxing voyage entirely in your own way.
What to expect from your solo cruise
Whether you’re discovering the delights of each destination or resting on board one of our award-winning Star-Ships or luxury yachts, you'll revel in the delights of cruising solo. Venturing solo on a river or yacht cruise is one of the easiest ways to enjoy your time entirely in your own way.
While on board, relax in the luxurious surroundings of your award-winning Star-Ship. Take to the indoor pool for a refreshing swim or enjoy a stroll on the airy Sky Deck. Make new friends at the Horizon Bar & Lounge and dine in like-minded company at the Reflections Restaurant. Onshore, you’ll enjoy an array of excursions including group tours, tasting sessions, and museum visits. And, as a solo traveler, you can explore the castles, markets, and vineyards to your heart’s content.
You’ll want for nothing on board your luxury yacht. Take to the infinity-style Aqua pool for a refreshing swim or the invigorating Spa pool for some R&R. On selected days, your captain will drop anchor, presenting the opportunity for a dip in the sea from the Marina Platform. Onshore, you’ll enjoy each exciting destination with our EmeraldDISCOVERY excursions, and as a solo explorer, you can tour the cities or relax on the beach for as long as you want.
