Europe River Cruises

Germany

The Rhine and Rhône Rivers go hand-in hand like Avalon Waterways and relaxed luxury. Live it up on a stunning European river cruise in Germany. Drink in panoramic views while sailing through the dramatic Rhine Gorge, peppered with ancient castles perched precipitously on overhead cliffs. Meet Black Forest artisans, soak up the sophisticated melange of German and French culture in Strasbourg and be touched by the romance of Heidelberg. Say Guten Tag to Germany on our Rhine River Cruises in 2021.
