Europe River Cruises

Holland

Unpack once and indulge more on an Avalon Waterways river cruise through Holland in 2021. 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 you live it up with Avalon Waterways.

CRUISE WITH THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET.

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. This is experiential river cruising.

Rooms with a View
The window of opportunity to see and experience the world just got a whole lot wider. Our 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 room with a view!
Relaxed Luxury
Delight in the difference and comfort. Leaving the rules behind, but not the luxury. From free time to optional excursions, enjoy your cruise at your pace, your way.
Taste the World
Great food feeds your soul, fuels your passion, and shapes your memories. Taste decadent local delicacies, fresh regional wine and produce. On an Avalon cruise, dining is part of the journey.
Unpack Once
We've mastered the art of blending luxury with comfort. Unpack once and its smooth sailing as we share our welcoming spirit throughout the ship.
