Starting in 2013, passengers on any Avalon Waterways’ river cruise will have more options when it comes to touring ports and dining. This week the company announced a new initiative called Avalon Choice. “Now, and only with Avalon, at every turn, cruisers will enjoy the luxury of choice,” said Patrick Clark, managing director for Avalon Waterways.

Here is a breakdown of the options available.
Touring
- Essential Sightseeing: This option is for those who want a quick highlights tour with a lot more time to explore on their own.
- Traditional Sightseeing: This tour is the normal paced port tour the cruise line has always offered.
- Leisurely Sightseeing: This tour slows down the pace offering more time to spend at locations on the tour.
- Specific Tour: In many ports there will be options to explore one specific attraction in-depth.
For travelers looking for more active adventures, Nordic walking sticks are available along with guided bike excursions at some European ports.
Dining
- Traditional: Passengers will always have the luxury of a four or five course dinner served in the main dining room.
- Panorama Bistro: For those looking for a lighter dinner, a meal featuring local specialties and regional wines will be served.
- Events: Avalon will be offering tastings of ports’ famous delicacies and on occasion a local chef will step on board to make some authentic food from the region.
In addition to these new options the cruise line will be initiating their Culture & Cruise program where local artisans and intellectuals spend time on the ship demonstrating and lecturing about their craft or specialty.
