Specialist in River Cruises

We travel to see new things, try new things, and experience new cultures. So it only makes sense to set sail on a river cruise that’s just as far from the ordinary. From endless views to endless possibilities, Avalon Waterways charts a whole new course in river cruising.Looking for more hands-on experiences? Our new Active & Discovery river cruises down the Danube, Rhine and Rhône Rivers offer a deeper immersion in each destination. Enjoy beautiful views of castles as you glide along legendary riverbanks in a canoe or perfect your brushstrokes in a local art studio. From steering a bicycle through Europe’s must-see sights to searing today’s catch in a lively cooking class, our Active & Discovery river cruises present a whole new level of engagement.

From my own experiences with Avalon I love how the staff treat you as family, that you know everyone on the ship by day two and you get to explore different places every day and only unpack once. Imagine getting off the plane in Paris and being met in the arrivals hall by an Avalon representative (no worries about where to get a taxi or Uber), transfer to your ship or a day room at a local hotel so you can drop off your luggage and go exploring or just settle in and relax. That evening as you sail away from the city lights enjoy an amazing dinner with wine and beer included. Go to sleep to the slight motion of the ship before waking up to another city for more exploring.

Thanksgiving in Venice

Our second full day in Venice, Italy Nov 23, 2017 Thanksgiving in the US. No turkey anywhere in sight! Funny, tho, we didn't even miss it!. Lori Wentworth of Travel Leaders did a suburb job of arranging the things we definitely wanted to do, while leaving us time to just explore and take it all in.

20th Anniversary Celebration!

Lori has been helping us plan wonderful vacations for over 25 years and we couldn't imagine planning a trip without her. Whether a cruise or an all-inclusive resort, her knowledge of the ships and resorts is incredible. Lori's amazing personality, infectious smile and genuine concern for ensuring you have a memorable trip is what keeps us coming back. For our 20th wedding anniversary, she took great care in helping us plan a 12 day Mediterranean cruise that not only included all the destinations (and more) we hoped to explore but she also arranged a renewal of vows ceremony which was performed on the ship by the Captain. It was a trip and anniversary we will never forget!

Margie, Thank you for the memories on booking your daughters birthday party. It was a challenge, but I am so glad that everything worked out. My favorite part of the whole planning experience was the special excursion you took with just the girls. Lori

Absolutely Epic Honeymoon

Working with Lori to plan our honeymoon was great. We gave a bunch of suggestions and told her the places we were interested in. She gave us detailed itineraries that same day. Based on our interests, and her experience, she also suggested Belize, which we never even considered. After seeing what Belize had to offer, we instantly fell in love with it, and it became our top destination. We stayed at multiple resorts, requiring multiple land/water transfers. We were a little nervous when we landed, but Lori had everything squared away. The transfer company found us when we got off the plane, and they handed us paperwork with vouchers for each transfer, explained all the details, and had people lined up waiting for us at each destination. Greatly exceeded our expectations. Lori was always available for all our questions and made numerous tweaks to our plans as I'm sure we were far pickier than the normal customer. We'll definitely work with Lori to plan our next vacation!

Lori Wentworth responded:
Mike and Brie it was fantastic to work with you. I am thrilled that Belize was so wonderful for your trip. That is the best thing of using an agent is we are able to find the right vacation/destination for you and not putting you in a cookie cutter vacation. I can't wait to meet with you to hear all about the trip. Thank you for the photos they were perfect. All the best in your new lives together as husband and wife. Lori

TOUR OF ITALY

Couldn't ask for a more professional, courteous and knowledgeable travel agent! Lori takes the time up front to get to know her customers and their likes/dislikes and then fine tunes her recommendations to craft the perfect trip. Her knowledge of the varied destinations is very extensive... she has a wealth of knowledge on trips, hotels and cruise/tour packages. She is readily available and more than once has been able to make last minute changes, even when we were in the middle our trip in Europe!

Lori is so good that we plan to use her as our travel agent via the internet/phone after moving down to GA!!!!!!!
