Europe River Cruises

Hungary

A culture with living and breathing folklore traditions? Arguably the most sophisticated cuisine in Eastern Europe? One of Europe’s most energised capital cities? Tick, tick, tick…Hungary is bursting with surprises. From the flourishing artistic Budapest to the UNESCO World Heritage site Pecs, dotted with memorial chapels and underground burial chambers. Soak up the capital’s café culture, or go onboard your personal oasis on a Danube river cruise, sipping local world-renowned wines from big-bodied Eger reds to honey-sweet Tokaj. This is Avalon Waterways relaxed luxury, where you get to live it your way.

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.
