This Is How You Europe. 🧭🎨🍷🏰🚴‍♀️

When your Suite Ship docks, your story begins—and with Avalon, that story is yours to shape. We do excursions differently: more variety, smaller groups, deeper experiences and the freedom to follow your own curiosity. Here’s how:

- Go Classic: Walk through history with expert guides and front-of-the-line access.
- Go Discovery: Taste, paint or play your way through ports with immersive experiences and classes.
- Go Active: Hike a vineyard, bike cobblestone streets or kayak into the heart of destinations.

No fixed script. No cookie-cutter sightseeing. Just flexible, inspiring days designed around you. Avalon doesn’t just show you Europe - we hand you the keys.
