Set your adventurous spirit free by sailing solo on an Avalon Waterways river cruise. Avalon Waterways celebrates solo cruisers by waiving the single supplement on some Europe departures and select sailings on the Mekong and Ganges in Southeast Asia.

Join other single cruisers, like you*, who choose to travel solo and discover diverse destinations while weaving along the world’s wondrous waterways. When you go solo, Avalon Waterways’ Cruise Directors and expert Local Guides will be on-hand to help you turn big dreams into even bigger (and better) memories.  And, speaking of dreams, Avalon reserves staterooms for each departure to accommodate solo travelers, including our award-winning Panorama SuitesSM with unmatched views - unlike other river cruise operators who limit your cabin choices.
