Cruise through the heart of Europe on this unforgettable Avalon river journey from Amsterdam to Budapest, sailing along the legendary Rhine, Main, and Danube Rivers. Begin in Amsterdam, where colorful canals and historic streets set the stage for your adventure. Travel through Germany’s Rhineland and wine country, enjoying scenic cruising through the UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge with its hilltop castles and the iconic Lorelei Rock. Discover charming medieval towns such as Cologne, Rüdesheim, Miltenberg, Würzburg, Volkach, and Bamberg, each offering a blend of history, culture, and storybook architecture.

Continue through Bavaria along the Main-Danube Canal to Regensburg and Passau, where rivers converge and centuries-old traditions endure. Sail into Austria’s Wachau Valley, passing vineyards and abbeys en route to elegant Vienna, the former capital of the Habsburg Empire. Conclude your journey in Budapest, the “Pearl of the Danube,” with its grand boulevards and stunning riverside views. Along the way, enjoy a choice of guided sightseeing, active excursions, and immersive cultural experiences, balanced with relaxed cruising aboard Avalon’s Suite Ship®, where panoramic views, spacious suites, and exceptional service make every moment on the river unforgettable.
