River Cruise Newsletter Dated
June 18, 2018
Dear Vacations To Go Customer,
Award-winning Avalon Waterways will offer guests more ways to
tailor their river cruise vacation to their interests in 2019, both on
and off the ship. Also, our friends at Avalon have some fantastic offers
for our customers, for travel this year and next.

The rate for Avalon's Europe cruises includes
a river-view stateroom, onboard meals, Wi-Fi access, guided
sightseeing, Local Favorites (activities that help you see the
destination as a local), sparkling wine at breakfast and soft drinks and
regional beer and wine at lunch and dinner.
The line revamped its Avalon Choice® program for 2019 and
will offer Classic, Discovery and Active options on every itinerary so
you can explore each destination your way.
On Classic excursions with local experts, Avalon travelers learn
about the destination's history and traditions during walking tours and
visits to museums, cathedrals, castles or archaeological sites. Take a
stroll through old Koblenz, followed by a cable car ride to
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress for the views,
or tour Chateau de Malmaison -- once home to Napoleon Bonaparte and his
wife, Josephine -- during a stop in Conflans.
Avalon's Discovery experiences are more interactive: Make your
own chocolate bar at the Valrhona factory in southeastern France, join a
painting class in Amsterdam or sample wines in the Mosel Valley, for
example.
Active excursions are expertly guided and incorporate energetic
pursuits. You might hike to Bratislava Castle, pedal along the cycling
paths of Budapest or canoe through the gorges of the Ardeche River, a
tributary of the Rhone.
Avalon also will have Adventure Hosts on European departures, to provide
suggestions, maps and gear like bicycles and Nordic walking sticks.
Optional excursions allow you to customize your time ashore even
more.
The new onboard FlexDiningSM program will provide more
flexible seating times, more tables for two, bar service on the Sky Deck
and nightly fare, when requested, at the bar. The staff will prepare
complimentary picnic lunches for guests who want to enjoy an alfresco
meal off the ship.
Avalon's entire Europe and Southeast Asia fleet is comprised of Suite
Ships®. Beds in their Panorama SuitesSM face
wall-to-wall windows that slide open to transform your stateroom into
one large Open-Air BalconySM.
