Avalon Waterways brings an entirely new concept in river cruising. As a leader in deluxe river cruises, Avalon Waterways bring you the luxury of choice — something you'll only find with Avalon ChoiceSM cruising. With 18 ships in her fleet, Avalon Waterways cruises sail to all the major rivers of Europe, Asia, Egypt and the Galapagos with trips lasting from 3 nights to 24 days.
Their ships are intimate and inviting. On board guests receive unsurpassed and personal service.
With Culture & CruiseSM Avalon Waterways brings onshore culture onboard to you. Guests can take part in special experiences that enrich their trip with local chefs, musicians, artisans and experts. Avalon Waterways designed their onboard entertainment to feature endless options. Day and night you'll be provided with a plethora of ways to have fun and be enlightened. Take in a performance by local musicians. Play a game in the lounge. Enjoy a behind-the scenes ship tour. Relax on the Sky Deck. Be pampered in the hair salon. Unwind with a movie. Or try out one of Avalon Waterways' many new venues for dining or lounging.
Today, Avalon continues to be the youngest fleet sailing on the rivers of Europe.
In addition to the European rivers, Avalon Waterways is one of the few deluxe river cruise lines offering itineraries throughout Asia, Egypt and the Galapagos. These unique itineraries provide guests the opportunity to explore these destinations in-depth, learning about the different cultures, histories and insights that make these itineraries so interesting.
From the moment a guest boards an Avalon Waterways ship they are warmly greeted by a friendly and professional English-speaking staff. Avalon's intimate ships provide a personalized level of service that has earned them numerous awards.
Panorama SuitesSM are, on average, 30% larger than the industry standard. That's more room to relax, more space to stretch, unwind and breathe. And fewer cabins onboard means fewer guests, more elbow room and a more exclusive experience from bow to stern.
With Avalon Choice® excursions in three immersive styles – Classic, Discovery and Active – guests can explore each destination in the ways they desire. Whether it's skipping the lines at museums, whipping up a regional specialty in a local kitchen or sightseeing by kayak or e-bike, every experience is designed to match a traveler's passion and pace.
