The above pricing is based on cruise only..

It is too early to confirm flight prices. I believe Paris will be under €100
and return from Amsterdam around the same. Return coach from Alicante around €15 per head.

As we are not bound by Avalon booking our flights there is the possibility to extend our/your stay in Paris and Amsterdam if you wish. Please confirm if this is something you would be interested in.
