A deviation avoidance apparatus of an embodiment includes a boundary detection section that detects boundaries of a travelling path on which an own vehicle travels; a deviation prediction section that predicts that the own vehicle will deviate from the travelling path based on a travelling condition of the own vehicle that travels in the travelling path defined by the boundaries detected by the boundary detection section; a deviation avoidance section that commands, when the deviation prediction section predicts that the own vehicle will deviate from the travelling path, a steering control unit to have a steering actuator drive a steering mechanism that changes a traveling direction of the own vehicle such that the own vehicle avoids deviating from the travelling path; and a notification section that notifies vehicle passengers, via a notification unit, when the steering actuator applies driving force to the steering mechanism such that the own vehicle avoids deviating from the travelling path, that deviation avoidance of the own vehicle is ongoing.
