Avalon Waterways
CRUISE WITH AVALON WATERWAYS
Just as the great cities of the world arose along the great rivers of Europe, so did the gentle hills and humble villages that you’ll encounter on an Avalon European river cruise. From the rich heritage of Budapest to the rare haunts of Bucharest, and from the castles of Germany to the classics of Vienna, the treasures of the Danube River beckon to us. And while we may follow the Danube, Rhine, Seine, Saone, Moselle, and Main Rivers, you need only follow your passions to experience your cruise your way. From active pursuits on a bike or a hike in Burgundy to a new discovery in a painting class in Amsterdam; from the beloved classic sights in Paris to Portugal’s vibrant vineyards — how you experience an Avalon European river cruise is up to you. Your captain, cruise director, and caring crew deliver relaxed luxury from start to finish.
HAPPINESS FLOWS IN EVERY DIRECTION
From windmills and wine to castles and coastlines, all are in your view on an Avalon river cruise in Europe. Tip your beret to bountiful France. Mosey on the Moselle or make waves on the waterways of Holland. Find serenity on the Seine or roam the Rhine Valley. Waltz through history on the Danube or revel on the Rhône. Rock the boat with countless ways to discover your choice of European river cruises where happiness flows!
SMALLER SHIPS, BIGGER EXPERIENCES. FEWER PEOPLE, MORE OF EVERYTHING.
Avalon’s magnificently modern, best-in-class ships average just 150 guests – some much less – to give cruisers the space, the time and the attention they deserve on vacation.
BETTER BY DESIGN. IT JUST DOESN’T GET ANY SUITER.
There’s a reason our ships are the critics’ darlings and favorites among our most discerning guests. Our boutique-hotel-inspired Panorama Suites feature the industry’s only Open-Air Balconies with the widest-opening windows in cruising and decadent Comfort Collection beds that face the ever-changing scenery.
PERSONALIZED ADVENTURES.
Avalon Choice presents guests with a variety of “Active,” “Discovery” and “Classic” excursions and onboard activities each day. Avalon’s selection of included daily outings and optional excursions invite guests to further personalize their experience to suit their interests and passions.
BEYOND EUROPE.
Avalon’s journey doesn’t stop in Europe. Guests can explore South America with an Amazon cruise or an expedition to the Galapagos Islands. They can uncover ancient traditions along the mysterious Nile. With a maximum capacity of 36 guests, our smaller Mekong River cruise ship can sail into surprising places in Southeast Asia.
“An Avalon Rhine River cruise means family, good food, and exploration! Whether you prefer Active & Discovery tours or Classic, there’s something for everyone. I can’t wait to sail again!”
