Travelling solo holds different meanings for different individuals. For many of our travellers, it could mean finally visiting that bucket list destination they've always dreamed of, yet haven’t found a companion to join them. Alternatively, it might entail journeying with a friend while still having the option of a private cabin. Whatever the reason for choosing solo travel, there are abundant options available, and although you may be travelling alone, you'll never truly be without the company of likeminded travellers!

Despite the increasing popularity of solo travel, it is still often considered a niche option. Consequently, operators may not always advertise specific options or promotions for solo travellers. This is where Wild Earth Travel can assist you. With years of experience, we excel in finding the perfect itinerary and operator to cater to the unique needs of our solo travellers. We have access to hundreds of no single supplement, single cabin and stranger share options, so please be in touch of you're looking to cruise solo - [email protected]

Why try Luxury Canal Cruising through Europe?
Luxury canal or barge cruising through Europe offers a unique and intimate way to experience Europe’s waterways. Here are some reasons why you might consider it as an alternative to river cruising:

Intimacy and Exclusivity
Barge cruises typically accommodate fewer passengers (8-18 passengers can be the norm on these vessels) compared to river cruises (passengers can be in the hundreds), offering a personalised attention from the crew and a close-knit atmosphere among fellow travellers.

The road less travelled
While river cruises often follow major waterways, barge cruises can navigate narrower canals and less-travelled routes, offering a different perspective of Europe's landscapes and allowing access to charming villages and countryside that larger vessels can't reach.

Slow Travel
Barge cruises move at a leisurely pace, allowing passengers to fully immerse themselves in the scenery and culture of each destination.

Culinary Experience
Luxury barge cruises often focus on gourmet dining experiences, with onboard chefs preparing meals using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Guests can expect high-quality cuisine paired with fine wines, showcasing the culinary traditions of the regions visited.

Customised Itineraries
Barge cruises can offer more flexibility in their itineraries, allowing for customised experiences tailored to passengers' preferences. This may include private excursions, special events, or unique activities based on the interests of the group.

Relaxed Atmosphere
Barge cruises often foster a relaxed and informal atmosphere, where guests can unwind and enjoy the journey at their own pace. There's typically less emphasis on formal attire and more focus on comfort and enjoyment.
