Meet Our Certified Avalon Waterways River Cruise Specialists

Debbie Royse

Debbie Royse

Certified Avalon Waterways Luxury River Cruise Specialist
Debbie Royse specializes in Panorama Suite deck positioning and Rhine & Danube navigation. “The beds facing the window on Avalon Suite Ships completely change your daily river experience. While other cruise lines position beds facing an interior wall or mirror, waking up to the morning sun over Wachau Valley vineyards or the Rhine Gorge castle crags without sitting up is unforgettable. My essential advisor tip: book Category P Panorama Suites on Deck 3 (Royal Deck) midship. They offer the quietest nighttime passage through river locks and the most expansive, unobstructed river sightlines. Our Signature partnership locks in your complimentary pre- or post-cruise hotel night or $300 savings from the moment we hold your suite.”
Heather Bowman

Heather Bowman

Certified European Waterways & Active Itinerary Specialist
Heather Bowman focuses on Active & Discovery itineraries and France river routes. “Avalon’s Active & Discovery cruises are unmatched for travelers wanting energetic, immersive exploration. Rather than standard coach bus tours, you can kayak through Danube bends, take guided e-bike rides along Austrian vineyards, or attend private cooking classes in Lyon on the Rhone. Take full advantage of our Signature hotel night perk in Amsterdam, Paris, or Budapest to arrive a day early—it eliminates transatlantic flight fatigue so you step aboard your Suite Ship refreshed and ready for adventure.”
Cindy Owen

Cindy Owen

European River Cruise Master & Solo Supplement Specialist
Cindy Owen is an expert in solo traveler supplement waivers and 30-day booking transfers. “Avalon Waterways is one of the only premier river lines that waives the single supplement (0% solo supplement) on select staterooms across every European departure, making it the premier choice for independent luxury travelers. These solo staterooms sell out rapidly. If you already placed a deposit directly with Avalon Waterways within the past 30 days, we can easily transfer your existing reservation to Vincent Vacations at zero cost, preserving your exact cabin number while layering on our exclusive Signature hotel night or $300 savings.”
Common Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions: Avalon River Cruises

Answers to the questions our luxury river cruise travelers ask most.

What exclusive Signature perks do I receive with Vincent Vacations?

Through our elite Top 20 Signature partnership, you receive a Complimentary Pre- or Post-Cruise Hotel Night OR $300 USD per couple savings (Promo Code STNFREE26A for 2026, STNFREE27A for 2027) on all 6+ day European sailings. You also gain priority stateroom selection and personal travel advisor advocacy before, during, and after your cruise.
On traditional river cruise ships (like Viking or AmaWaterways), staterooms are oriented so that beds face an interior wall or mirror. Avalon redesigned their ships from the hull up, angling the bathroom to place the bed facing the 7-foot by 11-foot wall-to-wall glass door. This means you wake up looking directly out at passing medieval castles, vineyards, and quaint European villages without ever having to crane your neck.
Yes! Avalon Waterways waives the single supplement (0% solo supplement) on a select allocation of staterooms on every European departure. Because these zero-supplement staterooms sell out fast, our advisors actively monitor inventory to lock them in for solo travelers.
Avalon provides a 1:9 Tour Conductor concession: for every 9 paying guests, the 10th guest sails free on the cruise portion. Additionally, under the Group Advantage Program, all groups of 8 or more receive free prepaid onboard gratuities. Our agency handles all roommate arrangements, multi-suite bookings, and private shore excursions.
If you booked your Avalon river cruise directly with Avalon Waterways within the past 30 days and have not yet paid in full, you can easily transfer the reservation to Vincent Vacations. Your price, deposit, and cabin assignment stay identical, while we add our Signature Free Pre/Post Night or $300 savings.
Yes. In every port of call, Avalon Choice excursions are fully included. You can select between Classic cultural tours, Discovery culinary and craft sessions, or Active guided bike rides and hikes at no extra charge. Premium optional excursions are also available for specialized regional experiences.
Avalon includes regional European wines, beers, and soft drinks with lunch and dinner. In addition, sparkling wine is available at breakfast, and 24-hour self-service gourmet coffee, espresso, and premium tea stations are available throughout the ship.
Absolutely. As part of the Globus family of brands, Avalon cruises pair seamlessly with escorted overland journeys through Switzerland, Italy, France, and Great Britain. Our team coordinates your flights, luxury hotel stays, private transfers, and touring under one seamless itinerary.
