In the 800 miles between the snowy peaks of the Swiss Alps and the Tulip fields of Holland your river cruise will reveal spectacular sights around almost every corner.

    Seine River Cruises

    Whether you’re a lover of wine, art, or history, you’ll find what you’re looking for on one of our Seine river cruises, between Paris and Normandy. You’ll have the chance to explore Paris, ‘the City of Love’ before perhaps visiting Monet’s garden at Giverny to see the water lilies that inspired the artist, or historic Rouen Cathedral, another of his favorite subjects, We also offer cruises that commemorate the more recent history of the Normandy landings, visiting its beaches and monuments. 

    Rhône River Cruises

    From the world-famous vineyards of Burgundy, through the lavender and sunflower fields of Provence to the ancient city of Arles, our Rhone river cruise will immerse you in the sights, scents and stories of Burgundy and Provence. Explore some of France’s most historic cities including its culinary capital Lyon, Avignon with its Papal palace, and Arles, with its spectacular Roman Amphitheatre.

    Active & Discovery River Cruises

    Most of us travel to see new sights and enjoy new cultural experiences. But if you’re the kind of traveller who also wants a bit more adventure, wants to get your hands dirty learning a new skill, or go exploring off the beaten track, then we have our Discovery cruises are for you. On an Avalon Active & Discovery Cruise each day brings you a choice of activities from cooking classes and canoeing to cycling, painting and more. The choice is yours.

    Springtime River Cruises

    Our springtime Netherlands river cruise starts and ends in Amsterdam, the Venice of the north and one of Europe’s most vibrant and exciting capitals. Cruising through Holland and Belgium you will discover the historic Belgian cities Ghent, with its Castle of the Counts, and Antwerp, the world’s leading diamond trading centre. You will also get to visit a jewel in Holland’s crown, Keukenhof, the ‘Garden of Europe’.  It’s no wonder we call this a Tulip river cruise, as each spring this 70-acre parkland comes ablaze when over seven million tulip bulbs bloom.
