A FEW OF OUR favourite THINGS
EXCURSIONS WITH A SIDE OF EXTRAORDINARY
A river cruise should give you more than monuments – it should give you moments. With Avalon Choice Excursions, you step off your Suite Ship and into experiences designed around you. From small-group tours to spontaneous free time, Avalon gives you more included, more variety, and more freedom than any other river cruise line.
Three Ways to Explore
Classic. Discovery. Active. It’s not a menu – it’s a mindset. And it means your cruise meets you where you are, every single day.
More Included
Avalon offers more included excursions than any other river cruise line – with up to 28 ways to explore on a single itinerary.
Free Time. Reimagined.
Wake-up to a wide-open agenda with Avalon. Complimentary bikes, e-bikes, gear, and our onboard Adventure Host help you explore on your own terms.
Guided by Experience
Backed by nearly a century of Globus’ land-touring expertise, Avalon excursions go beyond “must-see” to “must-feel” with VIP access to boot.
Landings with Latitude

Small Groups. Big Impressions.
No crowds. No cattle calls. Our excursions are capped for comfort and connection promising meaningful, memory-filled moments.
LET CURIOSITY BE YOUR COMPASS
