Have you ever considered a River Cruise?
River cruising is a wonderful story of discovery, complete with easygoing comfort and convenience. You will uncover treasures you find straight out of history books and fairy-tales; charming squares, magnificent cathedrals, bustling marketplaces–often just a stroll away from the ship. There is no waiting in long lines to get on or off the ship, and there are always amazing things to see–scenic vineyards, historic castles, or countless UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Avalon Waterways raises the bar when it comes to river and small-ship cruising. They are part of the Globus brand providing you with 80 years of experience in planning itineraries and guiding vacations around the world.
They have the youngest fleet on the waterways with ships an average age of just 2 years, verses the industry average of 7 years. Avalon Waterways ships are revolutionizing the river-cruising industry with panoramic views in abundance, floorplans that allow plenty of room for public and private areas, whirlpools, hair salons, libraries and an astounding 82% of their ships are open air balcony staterooms.
Meals are included. Wine is always included with dinner.

luxurious bathrobes in each stateroom and complimentary bottled water. They have the most spacious staterooms in Europe, a full 15% larger by comparison.
