Active & Discovery on the Rhine: A Journey Beyond the Ordinary
You're officially invited to join me aboard Avalon’s Active & Discovery Cruise!
Set sail on a journey where every day brings a new way to explore, experience, and fall in love with the Rhine.
From the vibrant canals of Amsterdam to the storybook vineyards of Germany and the charming streets of France, Avalon’s Active & Discovery on the Rhine cruise invites you to choose your own adventure—at your pace, in your style.
🚴♂️ Pedal along castle-dotted hillsides.
🛶 Paddle through hidden waterways.
🎨 Create, taste, and discover authentic culture at every turn.
This isn’t just a river cruise—it’s your personal adventure story waiting to be written.
🌟 Space is limited—secure your spot today and discover the Rhine like never before.
The Avalon Panorama led the way as the first of its kind in the industry to feature two full decks of Panorama Suites complete with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows. You'll cruise in river cruising's only Open-Air Balcony in a 200-square-foot suite that's 30% larger than the industry standard. The Comfort Collection beds actually face the view, so you can stretch out and relax with the world at your feet. Retire each evening and wake each morning to a panorama of picture-postcard scenes! Exciting onboard amenities include complimentary computer use in public areas and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi access, a well-stocked library, a Fitness Center, and a spacious Sky Deck with premium lounge chairs, a shade system, a whirlpool, and a delightful Sky Bistro. There's no better way to take in the view than cruising in Europe in the spacious comfort of the Avalon Panorama.

Active & Discovery on the Rhine (Southbound)
Fairytale settings await on every Rhine River cruise, but an Active & Discovery cruise with Avalon immerses you in new, interactive ways. As you glide from untouched villages to touching cities throughout Holland, Germany, and France, our range of excursions, from Classic to Discovery to Active options, presents the opportunity to move at your desired pace and be moved at every turn.
Clifftop castles, rolling vineyards, and cobblestone lanes become even more enchanting when you experience them from the seat of a bicycle or an artist’s stool. From culinary walks and beer tours to caves, castles, and kayaking explorations, you choose exactly how to toast the joys of the Rhine and your moving journey on it.
