Avalon Waterways first took to the waters in 2004 and the company has offered top-quality ocean and river cruises ever since. Part of the Globus Family travel network, Avalon's inspiration stems from a desire to combine a modern fleet of ships with a focus on outstanding shore excursions and unforgettable dining experiences. With one of the youngest fleets on the water and a renowned emphasis on quality, Avalon's attention to detail and luxury finishes ensure that passenger comfort is at the forefront of every trip.
Offering 58 distinct global itineraries, Avalon cruises depart from a multitude of ports worldwide. Popular European offerings include special-interest and multi-river cruises along the Rhine, Moselle and Danube rivers, while the Amazon and Galapagos takes on a meaning of its own on a specialised South American cruise.
