Unlike ocean cruising you also dine at the same table as your cruise mates, so you actually get to know each other. There are organised excursions, or you can simply wander off the boat at stops, so you can choose to socialise or stay away; and the cabins are usually quite luxe if you want to simply chill and watch the world go by.
The Rhine cruise I did was super fun, winding through France and Germany, with loads of opportunities to visit castles, ride bikes along the river, taste wine and tour cathedrals.

Copenhagen, Denmark.
For Aussies, of course, there is a fascination with Denmark and our own Queen Mary, so this place is a great one for solo royal fans to check out. I spent three days here solo before I headed off on a cruise in the Baltic Sea, and I loved it.
The city is very walkable, which is perfect if you’re wandering by yourself, and Mary’s home, Amalienborg Palace, is in the centre of town, so you can head there easily and even maybe catch a glimpse of her or Frederik… fun! The wonderful Tivoli Gardens are also beautiful, with rides, gardens, cafes and walks.
