  • C

    Carolyn

    Asked on October 30th, 2022

    I was wondering whether you have electric bikes, and also how many kilometres do we ride each day? If it is sometimes too far for me, are there alternative activities I could do?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Avalon WaterwaysOperatorWritten November 2022

      Please note that the majority of our bicycle fleet are standard pedal bikes, and if we do have any electric bikes onboard, availability is limited and not guaranteed. We encourage passengers to enquire at reception upon embarkation to book the use of our bicycles. We do have bicycle excursions as part of some of our optional excursions that the passengers can choose to book. Unless otherwise specified, these cycling optional excursions will always be with standard bicycles. None of these cycling excursions are mandatory, so if you don't feel up to it on a particular day, you can participate in one of our other optional excursions, spend time exploring the towns on your own or spend time relaxing onboard the ship.
