Avalon is offering a limited-time deal on select Christmas cruises, with savings of up to $1,300 on its most popular festive sailing.
The offer on the Christmastime on the Danube itinerary has been introduced as the company announces a 15 per cent boost in capacity on its Christmas cruises for 2026.
Avalon’s Christmas Market cruises are among its most popular – selling out earlier each year as cruisers chase the glow of Europe’s winter wonderlands. In response, the company is adding seven new Christmas Market cruise departures for 2026.
“Every holiday season, our guests eagerly await their Christmas sailing on our Suite Ships, travelling on the iconic rivers in Europe – complete with festive lights, steaming mugs of mulled wine and centuries of Christmas tradition,” said Chris Hall, Globus family of brands’ managing director, Asia Pacific.
“These cruises have become the highlight of our year. Expanding them for 2026 means more cruisers can experience the beauty of the season, and comfort and warmth of travelling with Avalon.”
From Germany’s Christmas Markets to Austria’s storybook squares, Avalon’s expanded 2026 festive fleet of Suite Ships now features more than 40 departures along the Danube, Rhine and Main Rivers.
Travellers can sip, stroll and sail their way through Europe’s most twinkle-lit towns with Avalon Waterways on 19 itineraries ranging from five to 17 days.
Most Christmas Market cruises also include the opportunity to add extra days in festive favourites like Prague, Lucerne and Budapest.
‘Tis the Season Sales Event: For a limited time, Avalon is offering deals across select Christmas cruises, including its most popular festive cruise, Christmastime on the Danube, with savings of up to $1,300 on selected dates of the Eastbound sailing.
