Escorted cruises designed exclusively for singles and solo travellers

Set sail solo with confidence. River and ocean cruises can offer enriching and memorable experiences from day one, both ashore and on board.

On a solo cruise, you’ll enjoy ever-changing views – coastlines, islands and city skylines – and the joy of stepping ashore right into the heart of the action. Expect to see natural wonders, historic landmarks and hidden gems, with plenty of excitement along the way.

With Just You, everything is designed around solo travellers. Our exclusively chartered small ships for ocean and coastal cruises offer a relaxed, private feel, with plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded explorers. Our river cruises use modern, elegant ships in partnership with river cruise specialist Nicko Cruises.

An expert Holiday Director is with you throughout every cruise, taking care of everything from welcome get-togethers to guiding you through unique experiences you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Choose a solo cruise along the Rhône or Douro or head north to Norway and Svalbard for icy fjords, polar bears and dramatic Arctic landscapes.

Enjoy our Scottish Islands Explorer Cruise, try our Inspirational China and Yangtze Cruise, or island-hop across Croatia’s turquoise waters on our Croatian island cruises into picture-perfect harbours.

Wherever you decide to go, a Just You guided cruise will always be hassle-free and full of memorable moments.

SOLO CRUISE FAQS

Who travels with Just You?

We welcome all solo travellers aged 18 and over, and see a wide range of ages on our carefully planned trips. If you enjoy adventure and the water, our solo cruises are a great fit.

Am I guaranteed a room of my own?

Yes. You’ll always have your own twin or double room with no single supplement, so you can unwind in privacy after a day of exploring.

Will I be eating alone?

Breakfasts and several dinners are shared with your group, making it easy to swap stories and make friends. On free evenings, your Holiday Director can help arrange group meals at local restaurants – or you can dine solo if you prefer.

Will I have time for myself?

Yes. Every tour includes leisure time for your own plans – take a walk, enjoy a coffee or browse local shops at your own pace.

How many travellers are in a group?

Our average group size is about 27, though it can vary by tour. Some of our tours, like our Croatian Island Explorer cruise, are limited to around 20 for a more intimate feel.

Where should I go for my first solo cruise trip?

For those chasing the sun, consider a cruise on Croatia’s coast, where you can enjoy refreshing sea dips and evening sunset strolls. Solo travellers who love to taste life in other countries through local food and good wine could enjoy a trip along the Douro valley – think vineyard tastings, market-fresh menus onboard and slow afternoons in Porto.

For a once-in-a-lifetime adventure: choose an Arctic Polar Cruise with epic scenery and cosy nights on board.

Whatever your tastes and preferences, there’s a Just You river or coastal cruise for you.
