Introducing Avalon After Dark

Avalon After Dark: Elevating River Cruise Nights

Avalon Waterways is set to redefine nighttime river cruising with the debut of Avalon After Dark next year. This new after-hours experience ensures the adventure continues long after sunset, offering an exciting blend of entertainment, dining, and late-night exploration.

As Avalon president Pam Hoffee puts it, “Sunsets don’t need to signal the end of the day’s adventure on a river cruise.” Instead, Avalon is keeping the night alive with moonlit toasts on the Sky Deck, impromptu dance parties, and thrilling nighttime excursions made possible by overnight docking in legendary cities.

A Taste of the Nightlife

Avalon is embracing culinary excellence with Sky Grill Dinners, an open-air dining experience under the stars, and a new bar menu featuring craft cocktails and mocktails by award-winning mixologist Martin Hudak.

Late-Night Entertainment

The Panorama Lounge will come alive with live music, trivia, karaoke, and spontaneous dance parties, ensuring that every night is an event in itself.

Moonlit Excursions

Passengers can step off the ship to enjoy Europe’s vibrant nightlife, from ruin pubs in Budapest and classical concerts in Vienna to speakeasies in Amsterdam, wine taverns in Rüdesheim, and alfresco dining in Avignon.

“We’re rewriting the script for river cruising after hours,” Hoffee says. “Avalon After Dark promises evenings worth staying up for.”

Whether you’re toasting under the stars, dancing till dawn, or exploring a city’s after-dark charm, Avalon After Dark ensures your nights are just as captivating as your days.
