No one traveller is the same and Avalon River Cruising is as unique as their guests. In an ‘unpack once’ experience, you can sail down the rivers of Europe and Asia, taking in the views through your panoramic windows, tasting local delicacies and travelling through history in storytelling, all while in the comfort of relaxed luxury.
Who goes on an Avalon River Cruise
Avalon Waterways is for travellers that are looking to cruise in a friendly, not formal, atmosphere. From couples, singles to groups of friends, there is a cruise to suit all needs. From shorter four-night cruises, for those that are seeking a taste of the river cruising, through to multi-river cruises to maximise your cruising experience. For the adventure seeker, there are Active & Discovery Cruises, taking our guests further afield and showing them a different side to the destinations that are more frequently visited. For the exotic traveller looking to excite the senses further, we sail the Mekong River, taking in the vibrancy of Vietnam and Cambodia, along with South America’s Galapagos and Amazon.
Top 10 things to do on an Avalon River Cruise
With so many cruises and destinations, here are the top five from Europe and tope five from the Mekong.
Europe:
- Take one of the on-board complimentary bicycles ashore and take in the sights cycling along the river. To save returning to the ship, we’ll make you a picnic lunch to enjoy as you go.
- Have your choice of our complimentary Classic, Active or Discovery excursions in each destination, showing you the highlights of all stops on the itinerary.
- Sit atop the Sky Deck while sailing through the Rhine Gorge, spotting castles for the afternoon.
- “Wake up on your balcony” in one of our Panorama Suites, where the bed will face the view out of a floor to ceiling panoramic window.
- For the independent traveller, explore at leisure with our AvalonGO app. With maps, walking guides, café suggestions and even locations to refill your water bottle!
Mekong:
