Avalon Waterways
Avalon Waterways is a premium river cruise line focused on immersive, unhurried travel and modern onboard design. The brand is built around the idea that the river and the destinations should always take center stage, with ships, schedules, and experiences designed to enhance rather than dominate the journey.
Avalon sails primarily along Europe’s most iconic rivers, including the Danube, Rhine, Main, Moselle, Seine, and Rhône, with additional itineraries on the Mekong, Nile, and select South American waterways. Their fleet of Suite Ships is distinguished by open, light-filled public spaces and industry-leading Panorama Suites, which feature wall-to-wall windows that open wide to create an open-air balcony experience.
Avalon Waterways offers river cruising that feels open, relaxed and thoughtfully designed around the joy of discovery. Sailing through Europe’s most storied regions, along with select journeys in Asia, South America and Egypt, Avalon Waterways sees cruising not as a schedule to follow, but as a chance to truly connect with each place along the way.
