Avalon Waterways River Cruises

Discover the beautiful rivers and historic cities of Europe with Avalon Waterways.  Spacious yet intimate, Avalon Waterways modern Suite Ships are among the newest in the industry, designed to cater to your every mood, from the comfy sofas and sweeping views of the Panorama Lounge to the private sanctuary of your own luxurious stateroom.

Avalon Waterways comfortable Panorama Suites are some of the largest available in river cruising, featuring full size marble bathrooms with fluffy towels, bathrobes and L'Occitane products; a choice of bed configurations and pillows; a well stocked minibar, complimentary bottled water and stunning wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows that open to create an open air balcony, offering incredible views of the ever changing scenery as you sail by.

Dining forms part of your journey on an Avalon river cruise, with delicious regionally-inspired menus created using fresh local ingredients and paired with complimentary fine local wines selected by Avalon's professional sommeliers.  You can also enjoy a full range of cooked and continental breakfasts, buffet lunches, al fresco options at the Sky Grill (weather permitting) as well as complimentary tea, fresh coffee and sweet treats available 24 hours a day in the Club Lounge.

Avalon Waterways river cruises are also perfect for solo passengers.  Join an excursion and explore with like-minded travelers, or head out alone for some people watching in a café.  With no single supplements to pay on selected departures, time spent alone is just as enjoyable as time spent with your fellow guests.  Contact our cruise specialists today for the latest availability and fares.
