It’s hard to know where Avalon Panorama SuitesSM end and the view begins! That’s because no other river cruise fleet offers you a view of the world like Avalon Suite Ships®. Featuring the widest-opening, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in river cruising, your Avalon Panorama Suite is actually river cruising’s only Open–Air Balcony® — with living space that’s 30% larger than the industry standard. And you’ll never have to choose between lying in bed or seeing the view because, unlike other river cruise cabin designs which put their beds against the wall, Avalon’s Comfort Collection BedsSM actually face the view — so you can stretch out and watch the world go by.
We’ve gone beyond the notion of small cabins with unusable “balconies” to extend your Panorama Suite into cruising’s only Open-Air Balcony. With nothing between you and the view, your wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows create a living picture postcard. Wake up to a whole new world to see an ever-changing view just outside your window. Think of it as a view with a room!
River cruises with Avalon are like no other. As the world’s youngest fleet, our ships have an average age of just two years. With a sleek, modern design and contemporary feel on board, most of our ships feature lifts between ship decks, sun-deck pools and all the latest modern technology – from satellite TVs to individual climate control. All of which set the scene for a stunning cruise experience.
Avalon’s Flex Dining® puts a whole new meaning to “Where should we eat?” with your choice of when and where you dine on board. Mix it up with a variety of menus and venues without the strict schedules that cut into your fun. Get the white-glove treatment in your ship’s spacious and elegant glass-walled Panorama Dining Room, or curl up with bite-sized delights in the cozy Panorama Bistro. Al fresco dining more your style? Grab a complimentary picnic basket to go barefoot in the park, pull up a chair for lunch on the observation deck, or indulge in savory selections hot off the Sky Grill. Need a treat between lunch and dinner? Tea is served with coffee and confections to satisfy your sweet tooth each afternoon!
Celebrate every meal! Complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks are served with lunch and dinner, as well as sparkling wine with breakfast. Welcome and farewell cocktails with sparkling wine and canapés are served for a bon voyage with jolly good fellows which nobody can deny!
Our cup runneth over with the coffees, teas, juices, and treats to power your day and unwind your evening. From lattes to lemonade, Earl Grey to essence-infused water, and cappuccinos to cookies, you’ll find your favourite pick-me-up at your fingertips in our 24/7 Club Lounge.
Tap into our eco-friendly water stations to fill your reusable water bottle with an array of beWell™ Essences like Green Hope, Herb Happinez, and Pink Positive nutrient-infused H2O. Of course, clear or sparkling water is always in style. Forgot your water bottle? Take one of ours!
Paddle through picturesque landscapes or pedal through classic cityscapes. Stir up delicious dishes passed down through generations or mix up paints to trace the strokes of artistic geniuses. Dream through ancient castle halls or dally along the alleys of cobblestoned villages. Pick how you play with exclusive and included Avalon Choice excursions for the perfect way to play to your preferences, passion, and personal style.
