Staterooms like this one on AmaMagna can accommodate more than two. \u00a9 2019 Ralph Grizzle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For decades, river cruising has largely been a pursuit for couples; families and solo cruisers need not apply. But that old way of thinking is quickly going out the door, as river cruise lines move to court multi-generational families and solo cruisers eager to try their hand at the rivers of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that river cruise vessels are restricted physically by height, length and width due to the rivers they must traverse. The ships can only be so tall, so long and so wide. That, in turn, means that staterooms must also have finite dimensions. You can add another person to that existing space \u2013 but unless you\u2019re booking at the suite level, things are going to get very cramped, very quickly. Unless, that is, you come up with some creative ideas, which a handful of cruise companies have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We field requests frequently from folks like you, who have landed on this page looking for a solution. Those asking\u00a0may be traveling with young children (in which case, Viking is out, as the company allows no one under age 18 on its ships). They may be traveling\u00a0with adult family, an elderly parent –\u00a0or they may simply be three friends traveling together and wanting to avoid the often-punitive\u00a0solo supplement<\/a>. In other words, three sharing a cabin may be cheaper than paying for two cabins. That\u2019s not always the case though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of strategies for those looking to river cruise with three or four in a cabin. The first is to find a ship with cabins that accommodate more than two. The second is to find companies with attractive – or no – single supplements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
