The greatest legends of the world were never bystanders, so when traveling the globe, why should you be? Our Active & Discovery river cruises offer a deeper immersion into each destination with the most engaging activities imaginable. Practice your J-strokes as you canoe along legendary riverbanks or perfect your brushstrokes in a local art studio. Steer a bicycle through the scenic countryside or sear today’s catch in a lively cooking class. From inspiring food and wine tastings to invigorating jogging and hiking tours, our Active & Discovery river cruises along the Danube, Rhine, and Rhône were designed for every type of doer.

Since bikes, kayaks, walking sticks and yoga mats won’t fit in your luggage, we made room for them on board every Suite Ship. Based at the Adventure Center in your ship’s lobby, your Adventure Host^SM holds an impressive inventory of complimentary goodies for individual pursuits. Whether you want to track your steps for the day or anchor yourself under a shady tree with a picnic lunch, your Adventure Host is on hand with the equipment, accessories and maps you need to create the perfect outing. 

And, our AvalonGo App helps travelers independently explore destinations with a detailed, daily schedule of their itinerary, maps, directions, list of nearby attractions, as well as local cafés, restaurants, bars and entertainment options.

Nature lover? History buff? Beer enthusiast? Incurable foodie? Passions make the world go round. So why not delve deeper into yours in new and fascinating places? Avalon offers an exciting selection of Special Interest Cruises, allowing you to bring your hobbies and pastimes along on your vacation. From beer and wine to golf and music-themed cruises, you can sip, swing and sing your way through Europe with other like-minded enthusiasts.
