Active & Discovery on the Rhine (Southbound)

Summary

Fairytale settings await on every Rhine River cruise, but an Active & Discovery cruise with Avalon immerses you in new, interactive ways. As you glide from untouched villages to touching cities throughout Holland, Germany and France, our range of excursions, from Classic to Discovery to Active options, presents the opportunity to move at your desired pace and be moved at every turn.

Clifftop castles, rolling vineyards, and cobblestone lanes become even more enchanting when you experience them from the seat of a bicycle or an artist’s stool. From culinary walks and beer tours to caves, castles and kayaking explorations, you choose exactly how to toast the joys of the Rhine and your moving journey on it.


Move.
Enjoy a little get-up-and-go on your cruising vacation when you:

•Paddle through the canals of Amsterdam on a kayak.
•Take an E-Bike tour surrounded by beautiful vineyards at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
•Follow the road less traveled on an exciting hike along Heidelberg’s Philosophers’ Way.


And Be Moved.
Get off the beaten path and relish the world when you:

•Discover your inner street artist with a graffiti workshop in Amsterdam.
•Explore the lava caverns on a one-of-a-kind volcano encounter below the town of Mendig.
•Join a foodie tour through Strasbourg to discover the cuisine of France’s Alsace region.

Plus, Classic sightseeing is always available in every port along the way.

Activate your senses and discover a world of wonder in all-new, entirely “you” ways on your personal, passion-packed cruise along the Rhine.
