Panorama Dining Room
Glass-walled and wide open, the Panorama Dining Room serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with views for miles. Fluffy pancakes with villages, juicy filets with castles, wine with vineyards – with every meal served with unlimited complimentary views. The modular design of this spacious gathering place offers plenty of tables just for two and four, while easily expanding to accommodate larger groups. So pull up your favorite chair and savor great cuisine and good conversation with each passing panorama.
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.
Reception & Atrium
The Art of Elevated Service
Here, service feels natural with your very first hello. From the moment you step on board, the Avalon team is ready to make your journey personal – and extraordinary.
These small touches shape the feeling on board – warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. Avalon’s crew takes pride in creating that atmosphere.
We understand that beautiful ships and extraordinary destinations set the stage, but the crew sailing with you make the experience.
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.
