River Cruising is quickly becoming one of the most intimate ways to explore destinations.  Many towns were built along the waterways, so you can only imagine the rich history in these small towns.  As a niche of cruising, river and canal cruises are an increasingly popular option, particularly for travelers who enjoy the comforts and variety of cruising, but want to see more of the heartland of destinations like Europe, Asia, Egypt South America.

To get a better idea of what river cruising is all about, view our Avalon Waterways brochure. Call 888-369-8785 to find out how you can receive travel agency discounts beyond what you’ll find anywhere else!
