Dining Room
AVALON FRESH
With our exclusive Avalon Fresh menu, you can take an indulgent cruise without drifting from your healthy habits. From energizing juices at breakfast to artfully crafted salads at lunch to high-protein plates at dinner, Avalon Fresh options—including vegetarian and vegan specialties—are available at every meal so you can guiltlessly partake in creative cuisine without sacrificing great taste.
Active & Discovery Cruises
MOVE. TASTE. PADDLE. PAINT. DISCOVER.
With Avalon Choice® Excursions, every Avalon cruise invites you to sail, see, and savor. But Active & Discovery℠ cruises go further – adding a full spectrum of action verbs to your vocabulary of travel. Hike, bike, kayak, paint, cook, or sip your way through Europe’s most legendary rivers and their picture-perfect villages, towns, and cities. Does your river cruise do this?
NOT YOUR AVERAGE CRUISE
No one does cruising like this. With up to 28 excursions on a single itinerary – more than any other river cruise line – Active & Discovery cruises invite you to design every day your way. Whether you’re climbing through castles, whipping up Chantilly cream, pedaling through vineyards, or paddling picture-perfect canals, you’ll activate all your senses.
And it’s not just about activity. These itineraries were built for immersion. Imagine street art tours, foodie walks, early morning museum access, painting workshops, or underground wine tastings – each experience was crafted to move you.
Sky Deck
The Ultimate Backyard
Nearly the size of a football field, the Sky Deck is Avalon’s open-air playground – designed for sunrise stretches, starlit toasts, and everything in between.
Forward Thinking
Keeping low bridges in mind, we've designed our Sky Deck to be lower in front of the wheelhouse so you'll have more uninterrupted 'oohs' and 'aahs' along the way. Avalon’s smart design keeps much of the deck open while other cruise ships have to close their deck access. That's forward thinking.
Tech Terrace
Even your Wi-Fi gets fresh air here. Settle in with your device, or better yet, set it aside and soak up the scenery.
Fitness & Wellbeing
Fitness Center
Every Avalon ship features a refreshed, light-filled fitness room with cutting-edge Kinesis weight machines, free weights, and the latest cardio equipment so you can keep your routine, even while you cruise.
Track & Field
Stroll, stretch, or get a little competitive. Whether you’re keeping pace on the walking track or playing lawn games, the Sky Deck makes movement fun.
Whirlpool & Lounging
Slip into a relaxing soak or settle into a lounge chair as the world drives by. This is riverside living at its most serene.
Yoga On Board
Before you set out to discover the lives of kings, queens and conquerors, you can easily find your inner warrior, cobra or happy baby. Avalon Adventure Hosts kick-start each day with a combination of yoga poses, Pilates exercises and gentle stretches in the fresh morning air on the Sky Deck or with panoramic views in the Panorama Lounge. Downward dogs welcome.
