Avalon River Cruise with a Military and Veteran Discount

We have personally sailed on Avalon Waterways and dozens of other river cruise ships, so we can tell you exactly how Avalon compares with the other river cruise lines. And if you’re looking for a military or veteran discount on an Avalon river cruise, you’re in the right place — Avalon does not offer a military or veteran discount, but we do, and it applies to every single Avalon sailing.

Your Avalon River Cruise Military and Veteran Discount

Military Cruise Deals has been a military family–owned company since 2001, and Avalon Waterways is one of the river lines we recommend most. Because our military and veteran discount applies to every Avalon river cruise, with no blackout sailings, your savings will be substantial — on top of the all-inclusive value Avalon already delivers.

How Much Is Our Avalon River Cruise Military and Veteran Discount?

Our discount is 5% off the cruise fare on every Avalon river cruise — no exceptions. Because it’s a percentage of the fare, the more your voyage costs, the more you save. And whenever Avalon runs its own promotions or deals, our military and veteran benefits stack right on top of them.

Does Avalon Offer a Military or Veteran Discount?

They do not. The only way to get an Avalon river cruise military and veteran discount is through an agency like ours that funds the savings itself. And you don’t have to be active duty to qualify — active military, retired, veterans, and their friends and family are all eligible.

The Suite Ships®: The Best Views in River Cruising

Avalon’s Suite Ships are built around the view. The signature Panorama Suites feature the widest-opening windows in river cruising — wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling glass that transforms your room into an Open-Air Balcony. Even better, the beds are positioned to face the window, so you wake up looking out at the passing castles, vineyards, and villages. At roughly 200 square feet, these are among the most spacious standard suites on Europe’s rivers.

Avalon Choice: Cruise Your Way

With Avalon Choice, your cruise flexes to fit you.

Avalon’s Active & Discovery cruises take this even further, packing the itinerary with included, hands-on ways to explore. Flexible dining lets you eat when and how you like, too.

Dining, Drinks, and Wellness Aboard Avalon

  • Dining — onboard meals with Avalon Fresh cuisine
