Home  Why Avalon  Cruise Your Way

Cruise Your Way

Start sooner. Stay longer.

Avalon makes it easy to seamlessly add days and nights in a variety of destinations before or after your river cruise. We take care of all the details, from ship-to-hotel and hotel-to-ship transfers, transportation between cities, superior hotel accommodations, guided sightseeing with plenty of optional excursions, and free time to customise your experience. From Budapest to Barcelona, from Milan to Marseille, or from London to Lucerne, you can spend a little or a lot more time getting to know the destinations that call to you.

YOURWAY WITH 

Explore more with a Globus tour or independent city stay before your Avalon cruise. For more than 95 years, Globus has explored the world with award-winning tours that include first-class hotels, knowledgeable Tour Directors, expert Local Guides, and sightseeing at the world’s most iconic sites and off-the-beaten-path locales.

YOURWAY WITH

Start your holiday sooner or stay longer with destination options before or after your Avalon cruise. Begin in Brussels, linger in Vienna, or enjoy a few nights in dazzling Prague. Avalon YourWay lets you add the perfect amount of time on land before or after your Avalon river cruise.
