From Vienna, Avalon Vista, an Avalon Waterways ship, whisks you away on a 6-night journey through the waters of Northern Europe and Baltic Sea. Your journey takes in 3 ports of call, including Melk, Passau, and Regensburg. Few things rival waking up in a new port most mornings, and this 6-night itinerary serves up exactly that kind of variety. With fares from £4,291 per person, this is a wonderful way to experience Northern Europe and Baltic Sea by sea.
Avalon's suite ships in Europe and Southeast Asia boast wall-to-wall windows that transform cabins into open-air balconies, and there are also river-facing beds to make the most of passing views.
The line’s Active & Discovery sailings have optional action-packed experiences alongside traditional shore tours.
Avalon Waterways also offers short-break cruises of three and four nights.
