Why We Love Avalon Waterways’ Beer Cruises: Avalon Waterways has taken river cruising to a delightfully spirited new level with its Beer Cruises, which meander through beer-loving regions of Europe—from the medieval breweries of Germany to the cosy pubs of Holland, Belgium, France and Switzerland. These themed voyages bring brews to the forefront with onboard beer experts such as Conrad Seidl and Dennis Kort hosting lively tastings, enlightening lectures and perfectly paired food menus. Shore excursions are equally curated: you’ll explore historic hop gardens, tour family-run breweries, wander traditional beer halls and discover local gems far from the typical tourist track.
Your Cruise Line:True to Avalon’s “Suite Ship” ethos, life onboard blends casual elegance with panoramic riverside immersion. Ships typically accommodate around 130–166 guests in suites that face the water, ensuring every view is a postcard moment. Public spaces include spacious open lounges and light-filled dining areas, ideal for merry conversations over a glass of local brew. Included excursions range from canal boat brewery tours in Ghent to hop-garden strolls near Bamberg, all complemented by themed onboard events—think beer-and-cheese pairings and after-dinner beer lectures. With Avalon, you’ll savour Europe’s brewery heritage at a relaxed pace, in the same comfortable, inviting style travellers love about their river cruises.
