Guests sailing aboard Avalon Waterways ships can choose from both charming itineraries and specialty cruises. Christmas cruises, art cruises, culinary cruises, wine cruises, and even golf-themed cruises are among the many special voyages Avalon Waterways offers.

While you’re sailing among the Galapagos Islands or down historic rivers such as the Danube, Rhine, or Seine, you’ll enjoy wow-worthy destinations from a comfortable vantage point. Live music, performances, and culinary demonstrations entertain while you glide to the next incredible port.

Love cruising in cushy digs? Dream-like sleep can be yours in an Avalon Waterways stateroom, which boasts memory foam mattress toppers fitted with Egyptian cotton sheets, and spacious bathrooms with luxury toiletries. Panorama Suites open directly to the scenery, and you can watch rolling hillsides and outstanding views from the privacy of your bedroom.

ONBOARD EXPERIENCE

Entertainment & Attractions

Avalon Waterways ships are quieter in the entertainment department, allowing for a peaceful atmosphere. Attractions vary by ship and region, so check your preferred itinerary for details. However, most Avalon Waterways ships offer WiFi and in-room television, and some vessels have a DVD library. Other ships offer books, cards, and board games for playing in the library or in your stateroom, as well as flatscreen, satellite TV with over 100 free movie options and English-speaking channels.

Dining Options

Avalon Waterways offers FlexDining®, which means that there are no strict meal times, and you can dine wherever and whenever you like. Whether you relish sleeping in or rising with the dawn, you can have a complimentary continental breakfast delivered to your stateroom. Take lunch to go for a fun onshore picnic, or indulge in fresh ingredients with views to match in the Panorama Dining Room — or al fresco, under the clouds at the Sky Bistro.

Regional dishes are prepared with care and ingredients from small farms, and each à la carte meal offers options so you’ll never get bored with the cuisine. Plus, a professional sommelier will pair your dinners with complimentary wines. Soft drinks are free with lunch, and sparkling wine and juices are gratis with breakfast. Daily afternoon tea and snacks are also included in your fare.

Spa & Fitness

Again, options vary by ship. Indulge tired muscles in the whirlpool on the Sun Deck after an onshore adventure. Borrow gear like Nordic walking sticks, bikes, watercraft, and maps for your breathtaking excursions. Other onboard amenities usually include a fitness center for your convenience.
