  Join MAX and your MAX Host David Petlin on a beautiful summer Avalon Waterways river cruise on the Danube.

  Whether you’re an art lover, a foodie, a history buff, or an energetic adventurer, this Active Discovery cruise on the Danube invites you to experience culture and cuisine in creative ways that are perfect for you and great for sharing the experience with friends.

  
  Start your adventure exploring Budapest — stroll its streets for classic sightseeing with a local guide, take a bike ride through town for a different perspective, or learn something new with a leisurely walking tour and discover a few local Hungarian phrases.  Attend a Medieval Knights Tournament at a Visegrád castle or see Gustave Klimt’s renowned “Kiss” painting in Vienna (our ship will dock overnight in Vienna).

  With Avalon Choice^® selections of Classic, Discovery, and Active excursions, each day is yours to spend your way. Whether you prefer browsing the art collection of the Habsburg Empire, sipping local vintages at an Austrian wine-tasting, or joining a canoe excursion, at each stop your cruise is packed with excursions for every pace.  Sample cheese and beer made by Trappist monks and explore their Abbey gardens; take a hike to Count Dracula’s prison tower; or tour Mauthausen Concentration Camp, one of WWII’s most notorious sites. 

  Cruise prices for this 9-day adventure start at $3749 per person plus taxes and air.

  If you are looking for a perfect time to sail single – we have a limited number of cabins with no single supplement charge if you book by December 31^st.  This is something rarely offered on any other cruise line.
