See Europe through a Rhine River Cruise

A voyage through old Europe, gliding down the Rhine is like sailing through an impressionist painting. Beginning in the Swiss alps and flowing through Liechtenstein, France, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands before emptying into the North Sea, a Cruise on the Rhine with Avalon Waterways allows guests to breathe in the best of Western Europe. Find yourself in Basel, which looks to be straight out of a storybook, and let the clean, mountain air from Swiss alps energise you. Float upstream towards Germany past the Black Forest, stopping for a slice of the region’s famous cake. Savour local vintages along the way, as local languages and tastes change. With surprises around every bend, live it up with Avalon Waterways on the Rhine River in 2021.

CRUISE WITH THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET.

From Europe to the Galapagos and Asia, cruise in relaxed luxury with Avalon Waterways with choices as unique as you.

Glide away down the world’s most spectacular rivers, enjoying a unique vantage point from your own private oasis. Our floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows blur the line between where the world ends and your suite begins, allowing you to experience the world less seen from the comfort of your bed. This is experiential river cruising.

Rooms with a View

The window of opportunity to see and experience the world just got a whole lot wider. Our beds actually face the view with the widest-opening, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in river cruising. Think of it as a room with a view!

Relaxed Luxury

Delight in the difference and comfort. Leaving the rules behind, but not the luxury. From free time to optional excursions, enjoy your cruise at your pace, your way.

Taste the World

Great food feeds your soul, fuels your passion, and shapes your memories. Taste decadent local delicacies, fresh regional wine and produce. On an Avalon cruise, dining is part of the journey.
