Avalon Waterways River Cruises

Avalon's inspired design innovations introduced floor-to-ceiling windows and French balconies on two decks of every Avalon vessel. Avalon was the first to bring a larger stateroom with deluxe hotel-style amenities to an entire fleet.

All Avalon river cruise ships feature contemporary design schemes alongside state-of-the-art technology and supreme comfort. Generously sized staterooms and extensive open areas give every passenger the space they need to relax and enjoy their river cruise. Professional chefs prepare delicious classic dishes and regional specialities making dining a pleasure.

Spacious modern ships

Avalon river cruise ships are on average just two years old and are fitted with a comprehensive range of modern amenities, from flat screen TVs to the finest Egyptian super-combed cotton linens on hotel-style beds.

Included excursions

The Cruise Director is available to help you make the most of your time on board. Sightseeing is with local guides and with individual audio systems on the included guided excursions. Expert presentations are offered on everything from wine tasting to local entertainment.

Included drinks with dinner

With an average of one staff member to every four passengers you’ll also enjoy attentive full-board service. Complimentary wine, beer or soft drinks are served with dinner on Avalon river cruises. Coffee and tea are free of charge all day from early morning through to dinner.

Included flights and home pick-up service

Flight-inclusive packages from the UK are fully bonded with the CAA's ATOL scheme so your money is protected. Eurostar rail is also available on certain cruises.

For your convenience and comfort our Avalon UK bookings include a private home pick-up by executive car service to and from the airport or Eurostar station. If you live further than 75 miles by road from the airport or station a mileage charge will apply.
