Avalon Waterways is a member of the Globus family of tour operators. The company offers river and small ship cruising to Europe, Egypt, China and the Galapagos on board sleek, elegant ships with state-of-the-art engineering that allows for a smoother, quieter sailing.

Avalon Waterways caters to the North American market with personalized services and an English-speaking staff. Passengers can relax in comfort and style in their spacious staterooms featuring satellite television, private bathroom facilities and hotel-style beds with Egyptian cotton sheets. Each ship highlights a wide array of resort-style amenities, including fine gourmet dining, a six-person whirlpool and quality entertainment from local musicians. Panoramic picture windows on every ship present the perfect opportunity to take in the magnificent landscapes.

While the ship is in port, experienced local guides point out popular tourist destinations as well as hidden hot spots. Guided sightseeing tours and special inside visits to historic destinations are included as part of your cruise. Passengers can also discover port towns on their own. Whether cruising the waterways of Europe, exploring the Yangtze River or marveling at the natural wonders of the Galapagos, Avalon Waterways offers a unique, quality vacation on water.
