Avalon Waterways was established in 2003 by Globus Family of Brands, a family-owned tour operator. Their first river vessel was introduced in 2004 and since then Avalon has aggressively launched at least one new ship each year. By the close of 2013, they will have 19 ships.

Their itineraries include the Europe’s waterways plus the Galapagos, Mekong Delta, China’s Yangtze, and Egypt’s Nile. Their ships are designed for the North American market and have an English-speaking crew. They are also popular with the Australian market. For most vessels, officers and crew should be fluent in English and German.

Avalon Waterways will offer a limited number of sailings on the Mississippi River through a partnership with American Queen Steamboat Company (American Queen). Plus, Avalon has a charter agreement with Century Cruises for their two vessels, the Century Legend and the Century Paragon. Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection has a similar agreement with Century Cruises.
