AWESOME ADVENTURE: 8-DAY ACTIVE & DISCOVERY ON THE RHONE RIVER CRUISE WITH AVALON WATERWAYS “No it’s not a contradiction—the world’s most laid-back vacation medium can be as energetic as you want it to be. River cruises are very shore-centric, so passengers can engage in all manner of land-based activities, from running and hiking to biking and canoeing.”
Avalon Waterways’ Active & Discovery Cruises, such as the vacation recommended above, offer both classic and active options. Adrenaline junkies can choose from a menu of activities to keep them on the go, from an urban hiking tour of Lyon’s secret passageways, to biking, kayaking and hiking through scenic locales along the Rhone.

Perfect Ports… DISCOVER HONOLULU— as experienced on Celebrity Cruises’ 10-night cruise (Vancouver-Honolulu) “I really love Hawaii and visiting the different islands on a cruise is a wonderful way to experience the diversity of this exotic destination. Each island—from Oahu to Maui to Big Island—has its own unique flavor. Honolulu holds a special place in my heart, though!”
Honolulu is all about historic landmarks and iconic sites like Pearl Harbour, Mission Houses and the Grand Circle Tour, all of which co-exist with the amazing shopping, entertainment, nightlife and cuisine of modern Waikiki with its beachfront culture and happening vibe.
