MAKE MEMORIES WITH CHRISTOPHER MOORE
On this once-upon-a-river vacation, you won’t just sail the waterways of poets, princes and painters … when you’re with Avalon Waterways, you’ll cruise with a satirical scribe. If you’re looking for more Christopher Moore in your life (the writer who imagined Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff), look no further! This is no Fluke! During the first week of this Suite Ship sailing along the Rhine River, you’re invited to meander through storied scenery – from Basel to Amsterdam – with comic spin and your favorite novelist, Christopher Moore. To visit clifftop castles with a satirist who’s on top of his craft. And continue your journey to the Rhône, waking up to the Old World in new ways, enjoying the Sacré Bleu waters of France (the Rhône portion of this cruise does not include Christopher Moore). You will experience two, exclusive on-ship events with your celebrity host, plus you will have the opportunity to share the entire vacation experience with Christopher Moore.
Your Avalon river cruise on the Rhine and Rhône rivers begins in Port-Saint-Louis where you’ll board your Avalon Suite Ship®. You’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of Arles—the city in Provence, which inspired works by Vincent van Gogh. Cruise to picturesque Avignon for sightseeing in the fortress city, and sail to the charming village of Viviers to see the Romanesque cathedral and historic Old Town. The Saône and Rhône Rivers meet in wonderful Lyon. Explore the city on a guided sightseeing tour. Transfer to Basel to embark on your Rhine River cruise. Take an excursion to Bavaria’s Black Forest before sailing to Strasbourg, France. Follow the Rhine on to Mainz and Rüdesheim, and sail through the stunning views of the Rhine Gorge on your way to Koblenz. Cruise to the Rhineland’s capital city of Cologne and choose between a guided city walk to see its magnificent Gothic cathedral, or a walking tour of the city’s notable Jewish heritage sites.
Your cruise continues to the colorful city of Amsterdam, where you’ll explore Holland’s capital city with a canal cruise, before traveling via high-speed train to Paris, where your Monograms® vacation package begins. Spend two days each in Paris and London, including guided sightseeing and helpful onsite support from expert Local Hosts® in both these exciting cities.
