The Rhine, Main and Moselle Rivers go hand-in-hand… much like Avalon Waterways and relaxed luxury. Nowhere else can you live it up on a stunning European river cruise than in Germany. Drink in endless panoramic views while you sail through the dramatic landscapes of Central Germany, peppered with ancient castles perched precipitously on overhead cliffs. It’s time you said Guten Tag to Germany on a Germany River Cruise.
