Europe River Cruises

Hungary

A culture with living and breathing folklore traditions? Arguably the most sophisticated cuisine in Eastern Europe? One of Europe’s most energised capital cities? Tick, tick, tick…Hungary is bursting with surprises. From the flourishing artistic Budapest to the UNESCO World Heritage site Pecs, dotted with memorial chapels and underground burial chambers. Soak up the capital’s café culture, or go on-board your personal oasis on a Danube river cruise, sipping local world-renowned wines from big-bodied Eger reds to honey-sweet Tokaj. This is Avalon Waterways relaxed luxury, where you get to live it your way.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE AS WIDE OPEN AS THE VIEWS.

From Europe to the Galapagos and Asia, cruise in relaxed luxury with Avalon Waterways with choices as unique as you. 

Glide away down the world’s most spectacular rivers, enjoying a unique vantage point from your own private oasis. Our floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows blur the line between where the world ends and your suite begins, allowing you to experience the world less seen from the comfort of your bed. This is experiential river cruising.

Rooms with a View
The window of opportunity to see and experience the world just got a whole lot wider. Beyond the widest views on the water is an open invitation to experience your destination in more ways, in exceptional ways, in your way.
Relaxed Luxury
Delight in the difference and comfort. Leaving the rules behind, but not the luxury. Our job is to bring you the world. Your job is to love it your way.
Unpack Once
An extraordinary place to call your own. A space to get into it, or away from it - to be with friends or retreat to where you can invite the view (but no one else) in.
Taste the World
Great food feeds your soul, fuels your passion, and shapes your memories. Taste decadent local delicacies, fresh regional wine and produce - Unrivalled foodie moments.
