Exotic Locations

Avalon Waterways is known for fabulous itineraries on the European Rivers, but also offers exotic locations like Southeast Asia, India, Egypt, the Galapagos Islands, and the Peruvian Amazon. 

With their European Active & Discovery itineraries, you can vacation at your pace, whether it is a biking tour around Vienna, paddling down the Danube, or as lower paced wine tasting in Avignon - you set your preference to explore your way. Discover local cultures with hands-on excursions like a Dutch painting class in Amsterdam or indulge with an exploration of the chocolate museum in Lyon.

Explore South East Asia

If you are looking to explore Southeast Asia you may choose to sail along the Mekong River, offering a glimpse into the long history and diverse cultures of the region. From ancient temples to modern palaces, traditional villages to bustling cities, and enriching history to magnificent scenery - the Mekong offers something for everyone. 

If you’d prefer to see the world’s most fertile and populated area, a trip on the Ganges River is worth a look. Your guided tour of India and the Ganges River will allow you to experience the colorful culture and cherished spiritual traditions in India’s big cities as well as leisurely following the holy river of Hinduism.

Visit to Galápagos Islands

Check off your bucket list with a visit to the Galápagos Islands on-board the 16 passenger luxury yacht chartered just for Avalon guests. See penguins and flamingos sharing the same beach, ancient tortoises, and iguanas that swim, the diversity of the ecosystems on these volcanic islands is awe-inspiring, to say the least!  Uncover one of the world’s most unexplored regions with a trip up the mighty Amazon where you will embark on the Delfin III to venture deep into the Amazon Jungle in search of evasive wildlife.
