Come for the Trip. Stay for the Stories.
Dreaming of Europe but don't have someone to travel with? Maybe your spouse doesn't love to travel, your friends can't get away, you're single, or you simply love having your own room and your own space.
This Journey was created for solo travelers — not just singles.
You'll have your own private cabin while traveling alongside a small group of fellow travelers hosted by Tena Ziegler. Explore Europe together, meet new people and enjoy the comfort of having a group when you want one — without giving up the independence of solo travel.
No roommate required. Your own cabin. A group to share the adventure with.
Cruise dates are October 6–13, 2027. We anticipate departing the U.S. October 4 and spending one pre-cruise night in Basel.

Is This Journey For You?
This trip is perfect for someone who wants to see the world but doesn't want to wait for someone else to say yes.
Come if you're single. Come if you're married and your spouse doesn't want to go. Come if your usual travel buddy can't get away. Come because you'd rather have your own room but still want people to eat dinner, explore and laugh with along the way.
You don't have to be single to travel solo.
You just have to be ready for the adventure.
What Is The Journey Circle?
The Journey Circle brings together thoughtfully planned, small-group travel experiences hosted by travel professionals from TLS Travel SD, LLC and our affiliated advisors.
Some travelers join with someone they know. Others arrive completely on their own.
The idea is simple: don't wait for someone else's schedule to see the places you've been dreaming about.
One Circle. Many Experts. Endless Adventures.
