Surely the most scenic way to explore a country is by river cruise, journeying peacefully through picturesque countryside, admiring the beauty of the surrounding area and watching the world float by.

Whether passing by pretty villages, enchanting castles and vineyards perched on nearby cliffs in Europe, or meandering alongside terraced rice paddies, through local communities and past riverside markets in Asia, the ever-changing view is sure to inspire.

With a vast array of itineraries on offer - covering everything from the highlights of Europe, to established and emerging destinations in Asia, even cruising the Nile - Avalon Waterways has a cruise for everyone.

Navigating expertly along Europe’s impressive rivers is Avalon’s fleet of elegantly appointed and industry-leading Suite Ships, with 13 out of their 14 European river ships consisting of 80 percent Panorama Suites for the best views on the river.

Designed with Australian travellers in mind, Avalon’s Suite Ships, first launched in 2011, offer 30 percent more space than the industry average and feature wall to wall panoramic windows that open to turn the entire suite into an open-air balcony. This allows guests to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing space. The room design also allows guests to make the most of the ever-changing view, with beds turned to face the window, perfect for lazy mornings watching the world pass by.

Avalon’s sense of relaxed luxury, when combined with its unmatched service and the array of inclusions, creates a holiday experience like no other.

Travellers will find Avalon’s difference is in the details, with the cruise line’s elegantly appointed rooms complemented by stylish amenities, state-of-the-art facilities – even complimentary coffee and free Wi-Fi.

The cruise line’s meticulous attention to detail extends to the mouth-watering cuisine on offer. From regional delicacies to traditional favourites, the Avalon Fresh menu features an array of healthy dining options to enjoy while on board.

Meanwhile on land, Avalon’s carefully curated excursions – both optional and included – have been designed to showcase the highlights of each region, while special themed itineraries immerse travellers in their areas of interest. From culinary and art experiences in France to Active Discoveries on the Danube and musical Inspiration in Vienna, there is something for everyone.

The cruise line’s Asian itineraries sail on the Avalon Saigon Suite Ship, which launched in 2018 and allows for a maximum of 36 passengers. Carrying guests along the Mekong River, through Vietnam and Cambodia, the Avalon Saigon provides a stylish and intimate way to experience everything this fascinating region has to offer.

Avalon has released their river cruise itineraries for 2024 and 2025. Book now with Global Journeys to enjoy exclusive savings and access limited-time offers.
