AVALON WATERWAYS. CRUISING ELEVATED.

Avalon Waterways is rewriting the rules of river cruising with a bold mix of forward-thinking design, immersive experiences and unapologetic originality. From its signature Panorama Suites with the industry’s only Open-Air Balconies®, to choose-your-adventure excursions and vibrant after-dark programming, Avalon flips the script on what small-ship cruising can be – and who it’s for.

With award-winning Suite Ships® sailing the waterways of the world, Avalon delivers a modern cruise experience that’s more spacious, more personalized and more story-worthy – at every turn.

 

THE BEST VIEWS IN CRUISING. BY DESIGN.

  • Avalon’s Panorama Suites were built to outshine the expected. Spanning two full decks of every Suite Ship®, these boutique-hotel-inspired rooms feature the industry’s only Open-Air Balconies® – wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that open 7 feet wide in Europe and 11 feet wide in Southeast Asia to bring the outside-in.
  • No other river cruise line offers more room to see the world unfold. But that’s not all. Instead of facing a wall, every Comfort Collection bed faces the ever-changing scenery – giving guests a front-row view to castles, vineyards and storybook villages without ever leaving the covers.
  • Panorama Suites are, on average, 30% larger than the industry standard. That’s more room to relax, more space to stretch, unwind and breathe. And fewer cabins onboard means fewer guests, more elbow room and a more exclusive experience from bow to stern.
     

A SHORE THING.

At Avalon, stepping off the ship is just the beginning. With Avalon Choice® excursions in three immersive styles – Classic, Discovery and Active – guests can explore each destination in the ways they desire. Whether it’s skipping the lines at museums, whipping up a regional specialty in a local kitchen or sightseeing by kayak or e-bike, every experience is designed to match a traveler’s passion and pace.

With up to 28 included excursions per cruise and small group sizes that foster deeper connection, Avalon offers more included choices than any other river cruise line. These aren’t off-the-shelf tours – they’re curated moments.

And, for those who prefer to roam freely, gear – including complimentary bikes and e-bikes – is available through the onboard Adventure Center – turning free time into its own kind of adventure.

With Avalon, guests don’t just go with the flow. They’re invited to move – and be moved.
