To celebrate its recent launch of air-inclusive cruise packages, Avalon Waterways is offering special fares on two of its iconic European River voyages.

The offer allows guests to not only fly for free in Economy class, but also enjoy savings of up to $2,600pp on select 2026 departures when booked by 30 November 2026. The flight-inclusive offer is available on two of Avalon’s most popular itineraries, Magnificent Europe and Magnificent Rivers of Europe.

Chris Hall, Managing Director Asia Pacific for the Globus family of brands, highlighted the significance of adding Avalon cruises to the air-inclusive offering, describing it as “a pivotal step in delivering a seamless experience from booking to return, and the launch offer provides unbeatable value for both advisors and guests.”

“By integrating flights into our booking process through strong partnerships with leading airlines, we’re not only simplifying the customer journey but also enhancing conversion opportunities for our advisors,” he said.

Hall highlighted the dual benefit for both travellers and travel advisors. “Offering flights within our packages is an exciting step forward, but launching these packages with complimentary airfares to Europe and significant dollar savings, during both the high and shoulder seasons, elevates the value proposition even further,” he said.

“It’s both a win for our guests, and gives advisors a strong offer to bring to their clients as they start planning their 2026 holidays.”
