Special Interest Cruises through Europe
When packing their polos and pashminas, there's no reason for your clients to leave their passions and pursuits behind. Whether they are an aspiring or accomplished gardener or photographer, we have their special interests in mind with opportunities to improve their green thumb or their shutterbug skills. Their appreciation for a well-crafted Pilsner or wine - no need to leave it behind. Their insatiable appetite for the world’s most fascinating chapters of history - they can pack that too. Our Special Interest Cruises unite our guests with their pastimes—and other like-minded enthusiasts - both on board and on shore.
Active & Discovery Cruises
Perhaps your client would like to join a walking tour through town to an ancient castle. Maybe they’d like to learn a few local phrases along the way. Or perhaps pedaling their way through the local sites is more their speed. Avalon Choice offers a choice of daily included excursions - Classic, Discovery, and Active. Choose from a variety of inclusions to match their mood, pace, and interests each day, all while experiencing the sights, sounds and flavors of the destination, their way.
Full Ship Charters
Charter an entire sailing for your group of 128+ travelers. Have a small group? It only takes 36 travelers to charter the Avalon Siem Reap SM and Avalon SaigonSM on the Mekong.

Imagine a vacation where the loudest sound is the thunderous crack of a calving glacier, not the clamor of a crowded buffet line. Picture a morning where your wake-up call is the bark of a sea lion, not an announcement over a loudspeaker. This isn't a fantasy; it's the profound reality of expedition cruising, a style of travel that trades the superficial for the substantial, the sprawling for the specific. And at the helm of this intimate approach to exploration is a name you might associate with the grand rivers of Europe, but whose spirit of discovery now charts a course to the world's most untamed frontiers: Avalon Waterways.
Forget what you think you know about cruising. Erase the images of sprawling mega-ships and fleeting glances at crowded ports. There exists a more intimate, profound way to explore the world’s most enigmatic corners—a journey that trades long sea days for daily discovery, and fleeting moments for deep, cultural immersion. This is the world of expedition-style river cruising, and Avalon Waterways is redefining it with a blend of relaxed luxury and authentic adventure.
The world of travel is changing. The post-card-perfect snapshot, the checklist of famous sights, the passive observation from a tour bus window—these are relics of a bygone era. Today’s discerning traveler craves something more. We seek not just to see the world, but to feel it, to taste it, to become a part of its story. We yearn for immersion, for authentic connection, for moments that shift our perspective. This is the heart of the expeditionary spirit, and it’s a spirit that Avalon Waterways has masterfully infused into the very fabric of river cruising.
The anticipation of an expedition cruise is a unique thrill. It’s a whisper of the unknown, a promise of landscapes untouched and wildlife encounters that reshape your understanding of the world. You picture the giant tortoises of the Galápagos, the emerald canopy of the Amazon, the raw, untamed beauty of nature at its most profound. But then, a practical question surfaces, grounding you momentarily: What on earth do I pack?
There exists a type of travel that transcends the mere act of seeing a place. It’s a journey that immerses you, challenges you, and ultimately, changes you. It’s the whisper of a warm Pacific breeze as a blue-footed booby performs its comical courtship dance just feet away. It’s the profound silence of a volcanic crater, unchanged for millennia. This is the world of expedition cruising—a realm where adventure and luxury intertwine. And for the discerning traveler who seeks more than just a destination, Avalon Waterways has masterfully redefined this experience.
Imagine waking to the sight of ancient castle ruins shrouded in morning mist, the cry of a seabird your only alarm. Picture yourself tracing the footsteps of Celtic kings and literary giants, a glass of fine single malt in hand as you recount the day’s adventures. This isn’t a scene from a travel documentary; it’s a tangible, soul-stirring reality when you explore the ruggedly beautiful British Isles with Avalon Waterways.
Imagine the whisper of wind across a Scottish loch, the ancient stones of a forgotten castle standing sentinel on a cliff, the lively melody of a fiddle spilling from a Dublin pub. The British Isles are not just a destination; they are a tapestry of epic history, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture, woven together with threads of myth and legend. To truly experience this enchanting realm, you need more than a simple tour. You need an intimate, immersive journey that takes you beyond the crowded ports and into the very heart of Britain and Ireland.
Imagine the scene: you’re gliding along a misty Scottish loch, the silhouette of a medieval castle emerging from the morning haze. Later that day, you’re tracing the footsteps of literary giants through Dublin’s cobbled lanes, a lively pub jig spilling out onto the street. This is the magic of the British Isles, a land of dramatic coastlines, ancient legends, and vibrant culture. And there is no more intimate or elegant way to experience it than aboard an Avalon Waterways small-ship cruise.
There’s a certain magic woven into the fabric of the British Isles, a tapestry of myth, mist, and majesty that calls to the soul of the curious traveler. It’s a land of Celtic whispers on the wind, of ancient standing stones that predate history, and of cities that pulse with the rhythm of a thousand years of stories. For years, I’d dreamt of truly experiencing it—not just seeing it from a tour bus window, but feeling its heartbeat. The challenge? Finding a way to navigate these dramatic coastlines and legendary islands with grace, comfort, and authenticity, far from the madding crowds of mega-ships.
There’s a certain magic that clings to the British Isles, a mist of myth and majesty that settles over emerald hills, ancient castles, and dramatic, sea-carved coastlines. It’s a land of poets and kings, of whispered legends and epic histories. To truly experience it is not just to see it, but to feel it—to breathe in the salt-laced air of the Scottish Highlands, to hear the echo of centuries in a Dublin pub, to stand in the shadow of monuments built by hands long since turned to dust.
The brochure shows you a picture. A sleek, white ship gliding down a mirror-still, ink-black river. A toucan, impossibly vibrant, perched on a branch. A smiling couple clinking champagne glasses against a backdrop of emerald green. And while those images are true, they are merely a whisper of the full story. They can’t convey the feeling of the air, thick and alive, a humid embrace scented with damp earth and wild jasmine. They can’t replicate the sound—a symphony of unseen creatures that rises with the dusk and lulls you to sleep. They can’t capture the profound sense of reverence you feel when a pink river dolphin, a creature of myth and legend, breaks the surface just feet from your skiff.
The air is thick, a warm, humid blanket scented with damp earth, blooming orchids, and the faint, sweet perfume of decay that is the very lifeblood of the jungle. A symphony of unseen creatures—the guttural call of a howler monkey, the electric buzz of insects, the melodic trill of an exotic bird—forms a constant, living soundtrack. This is the Amazon, a realm of staggering biodiversity and untamed wilderness that has captivated the human imagination for centuries. It’s a place that calls to the adventurer in all of us, promising discovery and a profound connection with the natural world.
Imagine the air, thick and warm, scented with damp earth and the sweet perfume of a thousand unseen blossoms. The soundtrack is a symphony of the wild: the guttural call of a howler monkey, the melodic trill of an exotic bird, the gentle lapping of the world’s mightiest river against the hull of your floating sanctuary. This is the Amazon, a realm of mythic proportions, a place that exists at the very edge of imagination. And you are about to explore it not by hacking through the jungle, but by gliding through its liquid highways in unparalleled comfort and style.
The air in the Amazon is different. It’s not just humid; it’s heavy with life. It’s a tangible presence, thick with the scent of damp earth, sweet blossoms, and the faint, wild musk of unseen creatures. Before my journey with Avalon Waterways, I had read about this, seen it in documentaries. But to be immersed in it, to feel the jungle’s breath on your skin as you glide down a mirror-still tributary, is to understand the world in a new way. This wasn't just a vacation; it was a rewiring of the senses. It was, in every sense of the word, unforgettable.
