You’ll step aboard the elegant MS George Eliot, a five-star river cruise ship named after one of England’s great novelists, built to the highest Swiss engineering standards and thoughtfully designed with sumptuous fabrics, sustainable hardwood furniture and polished copper accents that give a boutique-hotel feel. With just 70 cabins and suites accommodating a select number of guests, the ambiance is intimate and personal — ideal for soaking up the ever-changing views of Europe’s rivers in comfort. From 2027, this remarkable vessel becomes the world’s first river cruise ship dedicated exclusively to solo travellers, meaning you’ll enjoy your own double cabin with no single supplements and share the journey with like-minded explorers on curated itineraries.
Onboard the MS George Eliot you’ll find plenty of ways to make the most of your days both on and off the water. Relax on the Sun Deck with comfortable loungers, take a dip in the small splash pool, try your hand at the putting green, or enjoy panoramic views from the observation lounge with its floor-to-ceiling windows. In the evenings, settle in with a drink as live piano music sets the tone, or head to the Riverview Kitchen terrace for a quiet read with a view. Shore excursions are thoughtfully included on your solo-exclusive cruises, offering enriching experiences in iconic European cities and towns, from the Danube capitals to the Rhine’s medieval gems, giving you a great balance of onboard leisure and fascinating cultural exploration.
Dining on board is a relaxed yet refined affair designed to suit your pace and palate. Start your day with a hearty buffet breakfast, enjoy a varied lunch with salad and dessert stations and a pasta bar, and savour a sumptuous four-course dinner each evening, all served with impeccable care in the spacious restaurant. With informal free seating, you’re free to choose when and where you eat, and there’s always a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to pop into conversation with fellow solo travellers or simply enjoy a peaceful meal with the river drifting by. A complimentary drink package and tea and coffee throughout the day (on solo cruises) further add to the enjoyment of your culinary experience at sea.
Your cabin on the MS George Eliot is your personal retreat at the end of each day. All cabins and suites come with en-suite bathrooms, individually controlled air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, hairdryer, safe, mini-fridge and tea-and-coffee-making facilities, with complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the ship. Many rooms on the middle and upper decks feature floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and French balconies, while the Deluxe Balcony Suites boast private balconies with outdoor seating — perfect for savouring those iconic riverside views. In the solo-exclusive era, you’ll enjoy your own double cabin without any single supplement, giving you the space and comfort to truly relax and unwind after each day’s discoveries.
