See Europe through a Main River Cruise

An Avalon Waterways Main River Cruise in 2021 uncovers the lesser-know side of Germany. Flowing through the German states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse, the Main River is lined with picturesque towns and breath-taking scenery. Lose yourself in the beauty of Bamberg, a UNESCO-heritage town, whose awe-inspiring architecture dates to the 12th century. Be delighted by the sloping hills and vineyards of Würzburg, before exploring the magnificent Bishop's Residenz. At the convergence of the Main and the Rhine, the city of Mainz will surprise you at every turn, with its many interesting shops, tea rooms and intricate fountain on the Schillerplatz. Indulge in the best of Germany as you glide away on Main River with Avalon Waterways.

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.
