Magnificent Europe

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.
