The Avid Cruiser

Winding through 10 countries, the Danube River offers an encompassing view of the Old World.

Avalon Waterways has been around for more than 90 years. Its story began when Antonio Mantegazza would ferry goods across Switzerland’s Lake Lugano. In 2004 the company entered the burgeoning river cruise industry. Today Avalon Waterways operates 13 riverboats in Europe, and will bring that number next year to 14 with the introduction of the Avalon View. Having a bed facing the floor-to-ceiling window so you can properly see the sights; dining on locally sourced products, wines, and beers; options to be as active or sedentary as a guest would like - it all is just common sense. This common sense approach is the Avalon Waterways’ difference. The post What Makes Avalon Waterways Different? appeared first on River Cruise Advisor.
