From sipping Austrian wines in the Wachau Valley to cruising past castles along the Rhine, enjoy local experiences and relaxed river cruising with Avalon Waterways.
Imagine waking up to a new stretch of river outside your window, with another day in Europe ahead of you. On Avalon's 15-day Magnificent Rivers of Europe cruise, the journey begins in Budapest and follows the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers all the way to Amsterdam. Along the way, you can enjoy a proper Viennese coffee and cake, taste wines from Austria's Wachau Valley and wander down Rüdesheim's Drosselgasse, where traditional taverns have been welcoming visitors for generations. There's time to explore Germany's old towns, see the impressive Melk Abbey and watch castles pass by as you cruise through the Rhine Gorge. With Avalon's local guides bringing each stop to life, and time to explore on your own, you'll get to know a little more about the places you're visiting, rather than simply passing through.
