The Possibilities are as Wide Open as the Views.

The window of opportunity to see and experience the world just got a whole lot wider. The same company that reinvented river cruise ships has now redefined the river cruise experience. Beyond the widest views on the water is an open invitation to experience your destination in more ways, in exceptional ways, in your way.

More In View. More To Do.

Everyone travels to see new things, but many travel to do new things as well. With the introduction of our new Active Discovery cruises on the Danube and Rhine, there is something for travellers with varying interests and for all fitness levels. You can now hike, bike, and explore your way through the scenic and historic wonders of the world. On these interactive and energetic cruises, we give you opportunities to spend time with locals and learn about local traditions and the culture with hands-on activities and we pack in real get-up-and-go for those who like to do the same.

Of course Avalon travellers have the opportunity to get their hearts pumping on every cruise. We've equipped all of our ships with bicycles for those who wish to pedal their way through the villages and vineyards of Europe. Travellers can opt for guided bicycle excursions or set their own pace along the banks of legendary rivers, through aromatic orchards, and down vibrant city streets.
