When visiting historically rich and architecturally beautiful cities day after day, Avalon just wants to make sure that its guests get to do and see as much as they want in each destination. For those who want a more traditional river cruise experience, with mostly classic sightseeing excursions and tours, or even a more curated experience like a wine or culinary themed cruise, Avalon offers a variety of other itineraries ranging from 3-nights to 20-plus night combination cruises.

Whether sailing the upper Danube through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary or its lower tributaries through Croatia, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria, Avalon Waterways caters to the varied interests and needs of travelers, while also inviting them to check-off Bucket List destinations.

Avalon Waterways offers 12 itineraries on the Danube, ranging from four to 18 days. Because these itineraries take place on the same river, there are going to be repeat ports on each itinerary, but there is more variation to these itineraries than those offered by some other river cruise companies. Which itinerary works best for you?
