You Can Plan As Much – Or As Little – As You’d Like
The trickiest part of any getaway is usually the planning. But on an Avalon Waterways cruise, you can plan as much or as little as you’d like. If you’d like to customize everything from your meals to your excursions ahead of time, you can do that. If you’d prefer to sit back and relax for once, you can simply hop onboard the ship as it takes you to fantastic ports of call.

You Can Explore New Cities in a Group
Traveling as a group of women – or as a single woman – can bring safety top of mind. But Avalon Waterways offers a variety of group excursions that will keep you feeling comfortable while also experiencing new sights, smells, and sounds. With the help of local guides, you can safely experience loads of incredible cultures on your Avalon Waterways cruise. Explore the castles of Germany, admire the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt, or wander the markets of Vietnam, all with the rest of your excursion group by your side.

You Can Get Pampered
Take a break from the hustle and bustle and instead pause for a bit of pampering on your Avalon Waterways cruise. If you’re going for rest and relaxation, soak up some Vitamin D on a comfy sun lounger or take a dip in the bubbling Sky Deck whirlpool. But there’s more than just one way to pamper yourself. For a different take on wellness, strengthen your body with an endorphin-releasing Yoga class or rent one of the complimentary bicycles in any port of call to get your blood-pumping.
