Booking

How can I book? 

You can book your Avalon River Cruise through our website, or by contacting your local Globus family of brands representative. You can also let your Travel Agent take care of the details for you. 

What payment methods do you use? 

Please check with The Company's local representative on what form of payment will be accepted upon making a reservation. 

What is SafetyNet Protection? 

Give yourself peace of mind and flexibility by adding SafetyNet Protection to your booking for USD$79 per person*. This allows you to cancel your booking with no penalties up to 30 days prior to your holiday, or transfer your holiday to another date with only 24 hours' notice.

What is the single traveller supplement?  

Our cruises are priced per person, based on double occupancy. For single travellers who prefer the privacy of their own stateroom, single accommodation can be requested. The cost will depend on the cruise and departure date, please call us for single room supplements. Please note not all accommodation types are available on all holidays.

On many departures, we’ve waived the single supplement fee!* Contact us to find out more.

*Conditions apply.

Why is my contact information collected when I book? 

There may be times when unforeseen events beyond our control impact travel schedules and potentially disrupt your holiday. These include, but are not limited to, severe weather conditions, acts of nature, and government travel advisories. Under such circumstances, it is critical that Avalon be able to contact you immediately and reliably – including nights, weekends, and holidays – to make sure you are informed of any possible changes to your travel.  

Additionally, the care and safety of our guests is our highest priority. There may be a need to contact you during your trip or to contact your designated family member or friend in the event of unforeseen circumstances while you are travelling. Therefore, in addition to pre-trip contact information, we also require an emergency contact name and number, as well as an on-trip phone number for all travellers.  

Please log these details online in your MyAccount. We can’t send out your travel documents until they’re in there.

Can I save if I book as a group? 

No matter the occasion – family reunion, friend’s getaway, club event or church group – Avalon provides a great collection of river cruises for you and your group. Book your holiday as a group of 10 or more on select river cruises and one passenger cruises for free! As your group grows, so does your discount. Our specialised Groups Department can make all the arrangements for the perfect cruise for you and your crew.
