On the cusp of the New Year, Avalon Waterways distributed a Wish List survey to past cruisers asking them to share future travel interests and plans. One new, post-pandemic trend the company revealed is that cruisers want longer, more in-depth getaways.
More than half of Avalon Waterways’ past cruisers said they’d like to book a two-week vacation for their next cruise. Another 10 percent said they’re looking at three-week options. In response, Avalon Waterways has cooked up 16 new, longer itineraries and city-stay combinations for 2025.
Samples of new, longer cruise offerings from Avalon in 2025 include:
10+ Days:
The Netherlands in Bloom (10 days, to/from Amsterdam)
Illuminations of the Danube (10 days, from Vilshofen to Budapest)
Two Weeks:
