ENDLESS OPTIONS

The good news is that there’s an excursion type, style and configuration as individual as you are. The challenge is narrowing down your list of selections and booking just one for your time in port. To avoid that uncomfortable feeling of FOMO (fear of missing out) ask for advice from a knowledgeable expert. Not only have travel agents been to many of the ports, but they also receive post-trip reports from their clients that describe tips and feedback about popular excursions.

EXCURSION CATEGORIES

The main types of shore excursions on an Avalon river cruise are classified as: Classic, Discovery and Active. A Classic example is taking a guided tour of iconic sites, museums or monuments that are on your bucket list and probably the main reason you booked a certain itinerary. Expert local guides who are full of insider information, fascinating stories and informative histories can take you into the heart of the action as well as behind the scenes. A typical Discovery tour will give you a taste of regional culture and a chance to join the fun. Hear a choral performance, produce your own pasta or sketch a Van Gogh in the presence of the original. Active daytrips can be as easy or difficult as you choose. Choose from a hiking tour in Val D'Enfer, a biking tour around Vienna, or canoeing the Danube. Whether you want an action-packed schedule, interactive discoveries, or traditional sightseeing, you can tailor a vacation to your fitness level, interests and desires.
