Discover Austria on our best Europe River Cruises

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.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE AS WIDE OPEN AS THE VIEWS

Cruise the world's most magnificent rivers in relaxed luxury with Avalon Waterways. Our wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows blur the line between the outside and in, allowing you to experience the world less seen from the comfort of your bed.

Pair panoramic scenes with the widest-ranging excursion choices in river cruising for an experience as wide open as the view.

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.
