No other fleet of river cruise ships offers you a view of the world like Avalon Suite Ships,® featuring Avalon Panorama SuitesSM. Thirty percent larger than the industry standard, they’re actually river cruising’s only Open–Air Balcony® — with nothing between you and the view. While other river cruise cabins are designed with beds against a wall for a view of another wall, our Comfort Collection BedsSM actually face the view with the widest-opening, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in river cruising. Think of it as a view with a room!

Setting new standards for river cruising...

Their innovative Suite Ships feature one-of-a-kind Panorama Suites - a full 30% larger than the industry standard. Unlike other river cruise companies that use up valuable room space on tiny, unusable balconies, Avalon delivers a full balcony experience that is perfect in any weather conditions and in any season, without compromising your room space.

In their Panorama Suites their floor-to-ceiling sliding windows open up to give you a 7 foot opening. Slide the doors wide open and enjoy the feeling of sitting comfortably 'outside' as you float by stunning views of castle ruins, vineyards and ancient cities. We even furnished your space with a love seat and chairs, as well as a table where you can enjoy a meal, or perhaps entertain your friends.

Deluxe Staterooms and Suites...

All Deluxe Staterooms and Suites on every Avalon ship are well-appointed and offer a spacious welcome after a hard days sightseeing.

Even the placement of the bed is innovative, facing the window to allow you to watch the splendid passing riverscapes as you lie in comfort. Unlike other fleets that only have a few premium suites on each ship, 80% of their Suite Ship Staterooms are Panorama Suites.

From their luxurious Comfort Collection Beds with premium mattress covers, Egyptian Super-combed cotton linens, European-style duvets, to the large bathroom with premium L'Occitane bath products, ample storage space to unpack, fully stocked minibars, complimentary bottled water and flat screen televisions with a film channel for your enjoyment - you'll find them hard to leave.

First class guest services from start to finish...

From the moment you speak to one of their knowledgeable Avalon cruise specialists through to your return journey home, you are in expert hands. With an average of one onboard staff member to every four passengers, you will enjoy impeccable, attentive and unrivalled personal service.

On every river cruise holiday, a dedicated Cruise Director and English-speaking crew are always on hand to help you make the most of each day. They will guide you through a range of cruises and all the options available for your holiday with them. All their specialists have sailed on an Avalon Waterways Cruise, so they can answer any queries you may have.

No Hidden Costs...

There are no hidden costs – almost everything is included, right down to the gratuities. Take your pick from a wide selection of Avalon river cruises with more than 100 options across four continents; from cruises lasting three nights to 24 days.

Their itineraries are expertly designed to introduce and explore only the choicest of destinations. Sailing right into the heart of every port of call, simply step off the ship and the local sights and sounds are right there for you to discover. Take advantage of the many included excursions led by carefully selected, experienced local guides. Or choose to do your own thing, in their own time.

Take Time and Relax...

With so many amenities onboard, whether you are making the most of happy hour by enjoying a glass of wine, or a vodka and tonic in the lounge, or having a quiet moment in the Club Lounge whilst enjoying a cappuccino, you will find that there is plenty of space to stretch out and relax on an Avalon ship.

Keep in touch with your friends and family with complimentary WiFi access.

Delicious Cuisine...

Finally, on all luxury Avalon cruises, the onboard cuisine is part of your journey. You will look forward to each meal in the same way that you look forward to each new port of call. With a wide choice of both elegant and informal dining options, you will enjoy unforgettable cuisine created by their top chefs, paired with perfect, complimentary regional wines.

On every one of their cruises, we bring a local chef on board to prepare a special dinner with signature dishes made from the freshest local ingredients, offering additional insight into the culture of every inspiring destination.
