Journey across historic rivers and quaint watercourses with Avalon Waterways. This young fleet features serene river cruises through Europe, China, Egypt, and the Galapagos Islands and is popular with 55 and up travelers. Beautiful landscapes of Old World Italy, ancient Egypt, and beyond create magnificent backdrops for your at-sea vacation.

Contemporary design and modern furnishings set the stage for comfortable travels aboard amenity-filled ships. Spacious staterooms offer a cozy space for quiet reflection while gazing out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The Unique Silent Drive System, exclusively on Avalon Waterways’ ships, allows for a smoother, quieter ride. Depending on the ship, sky decks, whirlpools, plunge pools, and fitness centers are some of the perks guests can take advantage of. Beyond that, there’s live entertainment, on-ship activities, and off-shore guided excursions.

In addition to explorations through Europe, China, Egypt, and the Galapagos Islands, Avalon Waterways also offers several unique themed river cruises. Wine river cruises offer lessons, wine tastings, and a visit to a wine village. Music cruises lead you through Europe where you’ll attend classical performances and visit famous sites that mark music’s history.
