Avalon Waterways

Avalon Waterways is definitely one of the best European river cruises. Avalon's suites and staterooms have wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows with beds that face the views for maximum pleasure. Full showers and L'Occitane bath products are featured in the spacious private bathrooms. Their opulent beds and sumptuous linens offer relaxation in roomy, peaceful settings with plenty of wardrobe space. Your view of the world is unmatched by any other fleet of river cruise ships, including those operated by Avalon Suite Ships with Avalon Panorama Suites. They are actually river cruising's only Open-Air Balcony, with nothing standing between you and the view, and are 30% larger than the industry standard.

Fresh local ingredients prepared by skilled chefs and served in your choice of onboard locations allow Avalon to offer the flavors of the world. Every day on an Avalon river cruise is an experience of the mind, heart, or heart rate, depending on your preference, whether you choose to paint or paddle a kayak. Avalon provides "Active & Discovery" river cruises that include a range of energetic and physically fit activities, from standard sightseeing to action-packed adventures. The "Active & Discovery on the Rhone" trip departs from Lyon, travels through Provence in southern France, and arrives in Port-Saint-Louis. Avalon Choice excursions provide a variety of Active, Classic, and Discovery level activities along the road, such as a gourmet stroll, cooking lesson, art workshop, wine tastings, guided bike rides, and more.
