AVALON Waterways is increasing its number of Christmastime sailings for the holiday season in 2026 to meet demand.
Next year marks the largest-ever line-up of festive sailings for Avalon, and the new itinerary brings a 15% boost in capacity to the cruise line’s Christmas voyages to more than 40 departures.
Avalon’s holiday cruises are among its most popular — selling out earlier each year as guests chase the glow of Europe’s winter wonderlands.
“These cruises have become the highlight of our year,” Globus family of brands MD Chris Hall declared.
“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,” Hall added.
“Expanding them for 2026 means more cruisers can experience the beauty of the season, and comfort and warmth of travelling with Avalon,” he said.
