River Cruise Holidays, Packages & Tours with Avalon Waterways

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE AS WIDE OPEN AS THE VIEWS.

From Europe to the Galapagos and Asia, cruise in casual luxury with Avalon Waterways with choices as unique as you.

Glide away down the world’s most spectacular rivers, enjoying a unique vantage point from your own private oasis. Our floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows blur the line between where the world ends and your suite begins, allowing you to experience the world less seen from the comfort of your bed. This is experiential river cruising.

VIRTUAL REALITY TOUR

Step inside one of Avalon's Suite Ships, with the widest opening windows in river cruising, blurring the line between outside and in. At 30% larger than the standard stateroom, see for yourself why Avalon has been awarded Cruise Critic's award for Best Cabins in river cruising.

Experience a Europe Ship

Rooms with a View

The window of opportunity to see and experience the world just got a whole lot wider. Beyond the widest views on the water is an open invitation to experience your destination in more ways, in exceptional ways, in your way.

Relaxed Luxury

Delight in the difference and comfort. Leaving the rules behind, but not the luxury. Our job is to bring you the world. Your job is to love it your way.

Unpack Once

An extraordinary place to call your own. A space to get into it, or away from it - to be with friends or retreat to where you can invite the view (but no one else) in.

Taste the World

Great food feeds your soul, fuels your passion, and shapes your memories. Taste decadent local delicacies, fresh regional wine and produce - Unrivalled foodie moments.
