FLOWING PRAISE

We're humbled and happy to share awards we've received from some of the industry's most respected experts in river cruising, including readers and editors of Cruise Critic, USA Today, and Cruise Passenger. It seems we've struck the right note in bringing you river cruising’s only Open-Air BalconiesSM, beds with a view, exceptional shore excursions, and flexible dining options. With Avalon, the possibilities are as wide open as the award-winning views.

Cruise Passenger awarded Avalon the 2022, 2020, and 2019 Readers Choice Best Luxury River Cruise Line. We pride ourselves on ensuring the finest details - from dining through to décor - as well as our renowned relaxed luxury - and we're so thrilled cruisers are noticing.

USA Today and the editors from 10Best.com have spoken and we are thrilled to share with you that Avalon Waterways was voted the 2023 “Best River Cruise Line” and the 2023 “Best River Cruise Ship” for the Avalon Envision!

CRUISE WITH THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET

No other fleet of river cruise ships offers you a view of the world like Avalon Suite Ships featuring Avalon Panorama Suites. Thirty percent larger than the industry standard, they’re actually river cruising’s only Open-Air Balcony — with nothing between you and the view. While other river cruise cabins are designed with beds against a wall for a view of another wall, our Comfort Collection 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 view with a room!

A VIEW WITH A ROOM

ROOM TO DREAM

Designed from the bottom up for comfort, space, and room to dream, each Avalon Suite Ship consists of 80% Panorama Suites—offering the widest view in river cruising. Larger suites result in fewer passengers, so you’ll never feel crowded anywhere on board. From reclining on the open-air Sky Deck, relaxing in the spacious Panorama Lounge, or feeling the wind over the bough In the Observation Lounge, there’s never a shortage of comfortable spots to stretch out, day dream, or just watch the world go by.

OUR FLEET

CRUISERS CAN BE CHOOSERS

No two travellers are alike—so Avalon would never expect you to enjoy the same cruise experiences as everyone else. Whether you like to paddle a kayak or paint a canvas, each day on an Avalon river cruise is an adventure of the mind, heart, or heart rate if you prefer. So, go ahead, pick up a paintbrush, a paddle, or the perfect vintage. The possibilities are as wide open as the views.

AVALON CHOICE

DELIGHT IN EVERY BITE

Avalon shares the flavours of the world with the freshest local ingredients prepared by our talented chefs and served in your choice of venues on board. Our Avalon FlexDining® approach to onboard dining experiences has tossed out the idea of restrictive seating times in limited settings. We’ve brought back the question, “Where should we eat?” to the cruise experience. Choose from options like a breezy al fresco lunch at the Sky Grill, an elegant four-course dinner in the glass-walled Panorama Dining Room, or a more casual culinary setting in the Panorama Bistro. Whichever table setting you choose, you’ll savour local flavours as well as the familiar favourites you love. On an Avalon cruise, dining is part of the journey.

AVALON DINING

THE ART OF MAKING YOU FEEL AT HOME

We don’t just reserve the warmth and comfort for your room on an Avalon river cruise – we carry our welcoming spirit throughout the entire ship and spill it onto shore. From the Captain and Cruise Director  to your stateroom attendant and wait staff, we deliver exquisite service that’s professional, approachable, and informative. Our approach is never stuffy but creates an atmosphere of relaxed luxury – like our casual and comfortable dress code that’s defined only by your individual preference. After all, your comfort is our top priority, both on and off the ship. Our friendly Local Guides are there to greet you at every port with engaging tales that bring you closer to your destination. Whether you’re on board or on shore, we take special care to ensure that you are perfectly taken care of every step of the way.
