Avalon Waterways takes a fresh approach to river cruising, built around panoramic views, immersive days ashore, and real comfort. Voyages run along the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Rhone, Mekong, Nile, and beyond, pairing elegant accommodations, excellent cuisine, and curated excursions for a journey that is both easy and enriching. The line's Suite Ships feature Avalon Panorama Suites with open-air balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, so you take in the view from your own stateroom. Every detail is designed for a personal, immersive trip that balances relaxation with cultural discovery.
Avalon Waterways stands out for inventive ship design, flexible itineraries, and a focus on guest choice. Rather than a standard balcony that eats into the room, Avalon's Panorama Suites use wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that open into an air balcony, giving you a wide, open connection to the passing landscape. Staterooms run 30% larger than the river-cruise standard, so comfort never gets squeezed.
Dining aboard Avalon is its own pleasure, with fresh, locally inspired cuisine served across several venues, from a casual bistro to elegant multi-course meals. Avalon's FlexDining approach lets you eat when and where you like, for a relaxed and personal experience.
Onshore, Avalon's Active & Discovery excursions let you pick between cultural, active, or leisurely outings at every stop. Whether you cycle along the Danube, explore historic castles, join a regional cooking class, or taste wine in a centuries-old vineyard, Avalon lets you travel your way.
