Holland

Unpack once and indulge more on an Avalon Waterways river cruise in Europe. While in Holland, throw open the doors of your suite and invite the view in as you glide through lush Friesland, spotting cattle and horses dotted across picturesque landscapes. In the Keukenhof Gardens, traipse through the seven million flower bulbs bursting to life. Be surprised by the quaint fishing village of Enkhuizen or explore the pretty canals of Gouda with cheese in hand. Holland isn’t just about vibrant, dynamic Amsterdam – we’ll show you a country where there are treasures to be unearthed as live it up with Avalon Waterways.

From Europe to the Galapagos and Asia, cruise in relaxed luxury with Avalon Waterways with choices as unique as you. 

Glide away down the world’s most spectacular rivers, enjoying a unique vantage point from your own private oasis. Our floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows blur the line between where the world ends and your suite begins, allowing you to experience the world less seen from the comfort of your bed.

Unpack Once
An extraordinary place to call your own. A space to get into it, or away from it - to be with friends or retreat to where you can invite the view (but no one else) in.
Taste the World
Great food feeds your soul, fuels your passion, and shapes your memories. Taste decadent local delicacies, fresh regional wine and produce - Unrivalled foodie moments.
