You see life differently. While others chase what's popular, you follow your own path. Your own voice has never led you astray. You've arrived, knowing what it’s taken to get here.

It's a step beyond the ordinary where you'll feel at home. Whether you'd like a romantic mini-break, an extended exploration, or something in between, with Avalon Waterways, you get to choose the river cruise that reveals the very best of Europe, Asia, South America, or Africa-your way!

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u>Dining</u></strong></div>&nbsp;<br>From morning breakfast to elegant dinners, Avalon frees your taste buds from the ordinary. Using the freshest local ingredients, the talented chefs prepare mouthwatering recipes from the region through which you&#39;re traveling and present them in a variety of inspiring settings. The FlexDining approach to onboard dining dispenses with strict seating times and limited restaurant options. Choose the onboard dining venue that suits your mood - from a breezy al fresco lunch at the Sky Grill to an elegant four-course dinner in the glass-walled dining room. Read more
