阿维尼翁是罗讷河和索恩河河轮巡游的重要目的地，众多国际河轮公司在此运营，包括Avalon、Emerald、Scenic、Tauck、Uniworld和Viking等[1]。这些行程通常从里昂出发往返，或在里昂和阿维尼翁之间进行[1]。与其他河轮港口不同，阿维尼翁没有专门的河轮码头，游客可直接从码头步入古城[1]。
阿维尼翁及周边地区拥有丰富的历史文化遗产和自然风光。教皇宫殿是中世纪教皇流亡期间的居住地，已有一个世纪的历史[1]。著名的圣-贝内泽桥也是必看景点[1]。距离城市不远处，Pont du Gard作为罗马时代的输水渡槽已被列入世界文化遗产名录[1]，而Mont Ventoux山峰海拔1909米，是普罗旺斯地区最高峰[1]。此外，Châteauneuf-du-Pape地区以出产著名的重型红葡萄酒而闻名[1]。
Avignon serves as a significant destination for Rhone and Saone river cruises, with major cruise operators including Avalon, Emerald, Scenic, Tauck, Uniworld, and Viking offering itineraries in the region [1]. Most cruises depart from or return to Lyon, while others operate between Lyon and Avignon [1]. The city's port lacks a dedicated river terminal; passengers disembark directly onto the quay with immediate access to the historic old town [1].
The destination offers substantial cultural and historical attractions. The Papal Palace stands as the medieval residence where popes lived during their exile in Avignon, a structure with a history spanning more than a century [1]. Visitors can explore the surrounding Provence region, including Mont Ventoux, the highest peak in Provence at 1,909 meters in elevation [1], and the Pont du Gard, a Roman-era aqueduct bridge designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site [1]. The nearby village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is renowned for producing distinctive full-bodied red wines [1].
