We’re rockin’ the boat with Sister Hazel’s third storied sailing designed ‘All for You’ on the Rhine River! Back by popular demand from Hazelnuts and music lovers alike, the chart-topping Billboard Hot 100 band sails with Avalon once again to thrill fans and friends while sailing along the sights that sing on the Rhine River. From Amsterdam to Basel and beyond, we’ll rock and roll to the rhythm of the Rhine with history-making destinations that don’t miss a beat. Sway through Germany, Holland, France, and Switzerland with exclusive onboard performances and special personalized events. This toe-tapping, hand-clapping cruise is sure to “All Go by So Fast,” so don’t miss your chance to celebrate with a “Champagne High” to familiar fan favorites and tracks from the band’s brand-new album Sand, Sea & Crash Debris.

Your Avalon Storyteller cruise with Sister Hazel begins in Amsterdam with a cruise on its legendary canals and a local beer experience. Next, we’ll roll on the river to Germany’s 2,000-year-old city of Cologne where its Gothic-style cathedral, cafes, and a Kolsch Brewery tour that raises the roof. Or let the good times roll with an e-bike tour of this iconic city! The next high note on our playlist is the spectacular Rhine Gorge, winding through cliffs and castles soaring high above. Keep the music playing with a visit to the vineyard village of Rüdesheim to experience centuries of musical inventions at Siegfried’s Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum or make some history of your own with legendary local wines. More big hits await in Mainz where the fascinating Gutenberg Museum or the castle ruins of Heidelberg top the playlist. Raise a glass with your fellow Hazelnuts with a wine tasting in Alsace, then dance and enjoy a food tour through time in Strasbourg, France to marvel at the red-sandstone, Gothic-style cathedral with ancient murals. Do the stroll through the quaint shops and bistros of the lovely La Petite France district and rock your world with cherry cake and cuckoo clocks in Breisach, Germany—gateway to the legendary Black Forest. Grab an e-bike to explore this legendary area or chase a natural high with one of Germany’s highest waterfalls at Triberg Falls. Your VIP backstage pass awaits on this special Suite Ship® sailing for sweet southern rock-n-rolling on the Rhine River!
