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 Panorama Window creating the industry's only Open–Air Balcony®—with nothing between you and the view.

CONSIDER YOURSELF AT HOME

Your choice of Comfort Collection℠ 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 bounty of entertainment options, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi. These thoughtful amenities, inviting design touches, and generous living space make Avalon an award-winning envy of other river cruise companies. So, consider yourself at home—but with a better view!

YOUR ROOM IS READY

Most small-ship designers miss the boat when it comes to cabins. They think you’ll be happy with a space that amounts to a forgotten spare room. At Avalon, we have a bigger idea. In addition to our award-winning Deluxe Staterooms, 100% of our European fleet of Suite Ships® include our 200-square-foot Panorama SuitesSM or the 300-square-foot Royal Suite - both featuring the widest views in river cruising. Avalon has knocked the notion of a bed facing the wall on its ear - with our sumptuous Comfort Collection Beds℠ that look to the view, instead of another piece of furniture.

While we’re frequently lauded for our exceptional cuisine, we’re also praised for our menu of dining venues. Whether you’re in the mood for the elegance of the glass-walled Panorama Dining Room, the coziness of the Panorama Bistro, or the breeziness of the Sky Grill, we have just the table—or picnic basket—for you.

FARM-TO-FORK FARE.

Fresh. Organic. Local. While you take in the bountiful views, our innovative chefs bring the local bounties to your plate.

A LOCAL GUIDE WHO’S ACTUALLY LOCAL.

What is an Expert Local Guide? It goes without saying, but we think a true local guide knows the region from experience—not a guidebook. Your local guides on an Avalon Waterways vacation have a passion for sharing the legends and stories behind the sites. They love to share their corner of the world with you, so you walk away with a true feeling and understanding for newly discovered destinations.

Your favorite chair. Your go-to snack. Your signature sip. You can’t help but feel at home aboard an Avalon Suite Ship. Avalon cruisers know that feeling aboard our intimate Suite Ships—not as another face in the crowd or a number on a guest list. When you cruise with Avalon, there are certain words you’ll never hear on board. “Take a number” is simply not in our vocabulary. That’s because our staff—from captain to crew to housekeeping to chefs—know the meaning of ‘You First’ when it comes to worldclass service. With a 3:1 guest-to-crew ratio, you’ll enjoy personalized VIP treatment delivered with a relaxed luxury that’s never stuffy—just home, sweet home.

CONSIDER YOURSELF AT HOME

Like magic, Avalon makes wide open spaces feel comfy and cozy with the perfect spots to stretch out and enjoy the view, engaging conversation, or the peace and quiet you crave. From the Club Lounge to the Observation Lounge to the Panorama Lounge, you’re sure to find the perfect place to take it all in.

Saying hello to adventure doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your healthy habits and restorative rituals. From heart-healthy menu options and heart-pumping activities to mindful yoga moves, Avalon makes it easy to remain a picture of health amidst the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Avalon allow travellers from the ages of 8 and over although there are no children’s facilities on-board.
