Solo travel is one of the fastest-growing travel styles today, as evidenced by a recent “Wish List” survey facilitated by Avalon Waterways, which found that 13% of 16,600 respondents are planning to go solo on their next river cruise.

“Travelling solo doesn’t always mean you’re on your own,” said Avalon president Pam Hoffee. “Providing a balance of solo and ‘nolo’ (on your own but never alone) experiences, we set the stage for the perfect vacation on – and off – our Suite Ships with the bonus of an on-site Cruise Director and expert local guides to ensure an engaging, life-changing cruise.”
To cater to the rise of solo travellers on river cruises, Avalon Waterways waives the single supplement on a select number of staterooms on nearly every departure in Europe and Southeast Asia. The offer earned the company the “Best for Solo Travellers in River Cruising” Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Award this year.

“An average of 10% of our current guests are cruising solo,” said Hoffee. “They know that when they go with us, they can not only save money on their deluxe stateroom (172-square-feet) or Panorama Suite (200-square-feet), but they’re also invited to explore and engage with the world in the ways that interest them. From small group, passion-packed excursions to on-your-own exploration with the AvalonGO app, our guests are invited to not only uncover new discoveries, but to learn new things about themselves, every day, along the way.”
Advisors with clients interested in taking advantage of “no single supplement” deals with Avalon should book early. The offer is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
