Itinerary
Ship

UK to Amsterdam, Holland

Fly from your chosen UK airport to Amsterdam and transfer to the port for your 7 night cruise.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

There's so much to experience when you step ashore in the Netherland's capital city of Amsterdam. Explore the Museum District — home to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum — and step back in time at Anne Frankhuis. Discover the opulent Canal Ring district — an UNESCO World Heritage site, or simply escape to the tranquil surroundings of Vondelpark. You can get close to marine and animal life at Natura Artis Magistra; buy colourful tulips at Bloemenmarkt; or enjoy an interactive beer tour with the Heineken Experience.

Cologne, Germany

Founded by the Romans, Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities. Stroll around the historic monuments and picturesque squares in the old town; climb to the top of the World Heritage listed Cologne Cathedral; or ascend the Cologne Telecommunication Tower for city-wide views. Admire an extensive collection of Picasso works at Museum Ludwig and explore all things chocolate-related at Imhoff-Schokoladenmuseum (Chocolate Museum). Take a leisurely cruise on the Rhine or shop for bargains in the Belgian Quarter. Get close to wildlife at Cologne Zoological Garden, then take a trip out of the city to enjoy the thrilling rides at Phantasialand!

Rhine Gorge - Rüdesheim

As you cruise today, enjoy the pretty Rhine Gorge; considered by locals to be the most beautiful section of the Rhine River. Gaze in awe as steep slopes scattered with vineyards and dotted with ancient castles drift past, before docking in Rudesheim. Here in this Rhine Gorge wine town, the Winzerexpress mini-train will take you through the town to Siegfried's Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum which is home to the most mesmerising collection of automated musical instruments in Germany.

Mainz. Excursion to Heidelberg

Located on the west bank of the Rhine River, Mainz Cruise Port is situated in the historical Mainz — capital of the Rhineland-Palatinate state. Wander through the streets and explore the ancient medieval architecture. Visit the city’s two most popular attractions: the Gutenberg Museum and St. Martin's Cathedral. You can also take a trip through the city’s Old Town and browse the antique and art shops or sample the local German coffee and baked treats in its many cafes.

Kehl. Excursion to Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg is located in north-eastern France and is often referred to as the ‘city of two cultures’ due to it being partly in France and partly in Germany. The stunning city’s cuisine and architecture is a perfect fusion of both country’s traditions and culture. Get lost in the rich history and beauty of Cathedral Notre-Dame, or walk through the cobbled streets of Strasbourg’s old town and get lost in the fairy tale setting. Explore the stunning Petite France and admire the magnificent half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

Breisach, Germany. Excursion to Black Forest

The port town of Breisach is situated along the Rhine, mid-way between the picturesque towns of Colmar and Freiburg and 60km distance from Basel. The town's most iconic landmark is the St Stephanmunster on Munsterberg hill, which has a Romanesque-Gothic style and dates back to the 12th century. The town has pastel-hued buildings and cobbled streets which replicate the old-world charm of the town. Admire the fascinating exhibits on display at Museum fur Stadtgeschichte or travel 4km west of Breisach to visit the UNESCO-listed, star-shaped fortress town of Neuf-Brisach.

Basel, Switzerland to UK

Disembark in Basel and transfer to the airport for your flight back to the UK.

Entertainment

Your favorite chair. Your go-to snack. Your signature sip. You can’t help but feel at home aboard an Avalon Suite Ship. Avalon cruisers know that feeling aboard our intimate Suite Ships—not as another face in the crowd or a number on a guest list. When you cruise with Avalon, there are certain words you’ll never hear on board. “Take a number” is simply not in our vocabulary. That’s because our staff—from captain to crew to housekeeping to chefs—know the meaning of ‘You First’ when it comes to worldclass service. With a 3:1 guest-to-crew ratio, you’ll enjoy personalized VIP treatment delivered with a relaxed luxury that’s never stuffy—just home, sweet home.

CONSIDER YOURSELF AT HOME

Like magic, Avalon makes wide open spaces feel comfy and cozy with the perfect spots to stretch out and enjoy the view, engaging conversation, or the peace and quiet you crave. From the Club Lounge to the Observation Lounge to the Panorama Lounge, you’re sure to find the perfect place to take it all in.

Health & Fitness

Saying hello to adventure doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your healthy habits and restorative rituals. From heart-healthy menu options and heart-pumping activities to mindful yoga moves, Avalon makes it easy to remain a picture of health amidst the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Kids & Teens

Avalon allow travellers from the ages of 8 and over although there are no children’s facilities on-board.
