On an Avalon Waterways^® river cruise, the possibilities are as wide open as the expansive views. The same company that reinvented river cruise ships has redefined the river cruise experience. Beyond the widest views on the water is an open invitation to experience your destination in more ways, in exceptional ways, in your way.

Immerse Yourself. More Local. More Authentic. 

The fun of going to faraway places is getting up close to different cultures. Avalon offers Local Favorites on board and at port for complete cultural immersion. Unique perspectives deserve unique experiences – special inclusions that present themselves at every turn. Like regional wine and beer with dinner. Artisan demonstrations. And onshore cultural excursions. In addition to little luxuries like complimentary Wi-Fi, around-the-clock cappuccinos, and bicycles for touring quaint villages of Europe, Avalon immerses travelers in culture and cuisine with included Local Favorites^SM. On board, guests might watch the intricacies of a German wood carving demonstration or savor the bold flavors of a French cheese tasting. On shore, they’ll find themselves on historic cobblestone streets, in the middle of enchanting gardens, and behind the scenes at the famous sights for enriching glimpses of local tradition.
