Keep in mind that different packages will attract different types of vacationers and that there are themed cruises that cater to a certain group of people. A slow-paced, educational theme may attract seniors where as a party cruise will attract young couples with no children. Mixing your European river cruise vacation with a group of people that are your exact opposite may make for a long voyage rather than the fun trip that you had envisioned.
A typical Mediterranean river cruise will include several ports of call including Barcelona, Villefranche, Rome, Naples and Florence. You will probably have an opportunity to visit all of the main tourist attractions such as Pompeii and the islands that hold the history and archeology of man's earliest civilizations. You may find yourself water skiing, shopping till you drop in Barcelona, scuba diving or playing with the rich and famous in Monte Carlo.
Cruising the storied waterways of Europe brings travelers back to the splendor of a bygone era and Avalon Waterways has taken great care to honor this legacy while also ensuring that their ships have resort-like features and every modern convenience. For example, the innovative Silent Drive System and separate passenger and propulsion sections mean reduced noise and vibration on the Avalon TranquilitySM, Avalon Imagery and Avalon Tapestry. This is just one reason why these outstanding vessels received the prestigious ShipPax Award for Outstanding Cruise Concept. For complete passenger comfort, their ships offer the largest staterooms on the European waterways today along with hotel-style beds, flatscreen TVs, modern bathrooms and more.
