SHORT and SUITE
Avalon Waterways introduces shorter itineraries on all-suite fleet for 2020

​In 2020, Avalon Waterways will offer four, five and six-day river cruise  itineraries for travellers who want to dip their toes into river cruising on an all-suite fleet.

​The 5 day Taste of the Rhine  cruise features immersive opportunities to explore sites along the Rhine, including a culinary walk through Amsterdam, guided tour of Cologne, wine-tasting in Boppard, spending free time in Rudesheim and cruising through the Rhine Gorge.

The 6-day Heart of Germany features stops along the Main River and Main-Danube Canal. The tour encompasses a guided hike through a Bavarian village, time in Würzburg, enjoying Bavarian wines in Itzingen and onboard beer-tasting near Volkach and a visit to Bamberg, built on seven hills. The cruise concludes in Nuremberg. 

The 4-day Taste of the Danube is ideal for new to cruise travellers as a taster experience. The itinerary takes in Budapest, Bratislava, Melk, Dürnstein and Vienna.  For those testing river cruise-waters but who want to add-on time on land in popular European destinations, Avalon Waterways is introducing Avalon Your Way for 2020, where guests can add a land extension to their cruise. 
 
“We are making it easier for travellers to tailor their holiday to their preferences, both during and post cruise. Guests can extend their river cruise with land extensions that are suited to their pace and budget,” said Giles Hawke, CEO.  “This is furthered by our exclusive onboard Avalon Choice menu. Guests have their pick of the widest array of included excursions, from classic sightseeing to immersive discoveries and active adventures.”
 
All cruise itineraries – short and long – sail on Avalon Waterways’ signature Suite Ships.  These have two full decks of 200-square-foot, one-of-a-kind Panorama Suites and feature the industry’s only open-air balconies with beds facing the river.
