Travelling solo doesn’t mean you have to travel alone.
Travelmarvel has announced its first dedicated solo river cruise departures for 2027, giving independent travellers a new way to experience the heart of Europe alongside a group of like-minded guests.
Two exclusive 15-day European Gems river cruises will depart on 7 June and 21 October 2027, journeying between Budapest and Amsterdam along the iconic Danube, Main and Rhine rivers.
Designed especially for solo travellers, each guest will enjoy the comfort and privacy of their own cabin, while still having plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow travellers through shared sightseeing, dining and onboard experiences.
The European Gems itinerary takes in some of Europe’s most beautiful cities, towns and landscapes, combining the ease of river cruising with the freedom to enjoy the journey at your own pace.
The new departures are part of The APT Travel Group’s growing focus on solo travel, catering to travellers who are ready to explore the world independently but still value the reassurance and social atmosphere that comes with travelling as part of a group.
“Our dedicated solo departures provide the confidence of travelling with a group of like-minded people while also enjoying the privacy of your own cabin,” The APT Travel Group CEO David Cox said.
“Travel preferences continue to evolve, and the introduction of solo departures opens up more opportunities for those who might otherwise choose not to travel at all.”
Whether you’re a seasoned solo traveller or have been waiting for the right opportunity to take that first trip on your own, these dedicated departures offer the best of both worlds – the independence of solo travel with the shared experiences and connections that make a holiday memorable.
