Home Suite Home

Suite Dreams. Sweeter Mornings.
Linger a little longer by starting the day with complimentary Continental breakfast room service. With the world at your feet from your window-facing Comfort CollectionSM bed, savour the best view to sweeten your morning coffee with the widest view in river cruising.

Awaken to a New World

It's hard to tell where the luxury of your Panorama Suite ends and the world outside begins. Rise each day to your wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic window, creating the industry's only Open–Air Balcony®—with nothing between you and the view.

Consider Yourself at Home

Your choice of Comfort CollectionSM mattresses and pillows. Egyptian cotton sheets and European-style duvets. Premium L’Occitane® bath products. Plush bath towels, robes, and slippers. Marble-top bathrooms with roomy glass-enclosed showers. Fully stocked mini bar. State-of-the-art flatscreen TVs with a wealth of entertainment options, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi. These thoughtful amenities and spacious designs are what cruising elevated is all about. So, consider yourself at home—but with a better view!

Your Room is Ready
In addition to our award-winning Deluxe Staterooms, every Avalon European Suite Ship® includes a generous selection of our 200-square-foot Panorama SuitesSM or 300-square-foot Royal Suite—both featuring the widest views in river cruising. Avalon's innovative suite designs elevate river cruising as the only river cruise ships with beds that actually face the view—not the wall. Avalon guests actually cruise with the world at their feet beyond sumptuous Comfort CollectionSM beds and the panorama of river cruising's only Open-Air Balcony®.
