Europe River Cruises

Austria

Romantisch. If there’s one word to encapsulate Austria, it’s romantic. Be soothed by the Danube’s breeze as the river unfurls like a ribbon, studded with historic villages, vineyards and dazzling architecture – including magical Vienna. Soak up the majesty of Melk Benedictine Abbey, savour a sip of Grüner Veltliner in picture-perfect Wachau Valley and feel Richard the Lionheart’s despair in his Dürnstein castle prison. Among the new discoveries of our Danube River Cruises is a constant - Living It Luxe with Avalon 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.
Unpack Once
We've mastered the art of blending luxury with comfort. Unpack once and its smooth sailing as we share our welcoming spirit throughout the ship.
