Avalon Waterways Christens 2 New Ships with another due in 2010 and announces promotional itineraries
Avalon Waterways in 2010 will christen two new ships in Europe including it's fifth ship in less than 36 months bringing the fleet to ten ships. At the same time Avalon will also increase its vacation offerings by nearly 20 percent with more than 30 itineraries of five to 23 days in Europe, China, Egypt and the Galápagos.

Avalon Waterways has five new river cruises for 2010.

A: “Paris to Normandy’s Landing Beaches” is an eight-day trip roundtrip from Paris

B: “Grand France” is a 16-day vacation between Paris and the Côte d’Azur.

C: "Castles on the Rhine to the City of Music” is a 13 day vacation from Zürich to Vienna.

D: “A Taste of the Danube” is a four or five-day sailing between Vienna and Budapest.

E: In the winter,  “Christmastime in Germany and Austria” is the 12-day winter season cruise which sails between Frankfurt and Vienna.

Amongst the on-board amenities on offer to passengers are unlimited complimentary local wine with all onboard dinners, regional entertainment, land programs and an English-speaking staff.

To celebrate its new offerings, and to encourage travelers to book the cruise of their dreams, Avalon is offering early-booking incentives. Guests receive $150 per person off any 2010 Egypt, China, Galapagos or “Taste of the Danube” cruise-and-land-only vacation or $300 per person off when booking air on the same itineraries.

 

For most Europe cruise vacations, the deal increases. Guests can receive $250 per person off select Europe river cruise-and-land-only vacations or $500 off per person when booking air on the same itineraries. Bookings must be made, under deposit, and discount applied between March 25 and June 30 for travel through Dec. 31, 2010. The offer applies to new 2010 bookings and will not be applied to existing bookings.
