About Avalon Waterways

We changed the river cruise industry by designing our ships, and our entire river cruise experience, around our guests. We call it Inspired Design. And it's the reason we stand far above our competition. Not only do we boast the largest standard staterooms and suites on the European waters, our amenities are countless, including fitness centers, flat screen TVs, Sky Deck with shade system, premium lounge chairs, whirlpool, free Wi-Fi, and many more. We also are renowned for having the best Certified Local Guides in the business and land excursions that are second to none. Plus we revolutionized river cruising by introducing Avalon Choice? cruising, which allows you to customize every last detail of your river cruise, so it's a one-of-a-kind experience created specifically for you. We also continue our reign as the newest fleet on the European rivers. In an industry with an average ship age of seven years, ours average fewer than three. Which means you are assured, no matter what the itinerary, world-class amenities and state-of-the-art technology.
