Why we love cruising the Danube River with Avalon Waterways: A river cruise is the perfect way to explore some of Europe’s most enchanting destinations in one seamless journey. You’ll glide through a tapestry of stunning landscapes, stopping at cities like Vienna with its imperial charm, Budapest with its striking skyline, and Bratislava with its old-world feel. Each stop offers a mix of culture, history, and local flavour, whether wandering through grand palaces, sampling hearty regional cuisine, or simply soaking up the scenic views along the riverbanks.
Your cruise line: Avalon Waterways makes the experience even more special with their elegant river ships, designed for comfort and relaxation. Their Panorama Suites are a real standout, with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that transform into an open-air balcony, so you can take in the views without leaving your bed. The included excursion program, Avalon Choice, is tailored to passengers. You can pick from classic sightseeing trips or active hikes along the river banks or choose to discover the rich culture instead. The onboard atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with attentive service and regionally inspired dining that complements the journey. It’s river cruising done right, with every detail designed to make your trip as effortless and enjoyable as possible.
