Panorama SuitesSM
80% of our staterooms are 30% larger than the industry standard, with beds that face the views that make river cruising incredible.
GOODBYE WAVES. HELLO WORLD.
Trade endless sea days for SEE days with Avalon Waterways. While ocean cruisers stare at open water, Avalon guests wake up to storybook villages, rolling vineyards, and centuries-old castles – always within reach, never out of sight.
THE SIGHTS ARE COLOSSAL
NOT THE SHIP
Ocean cruise ships are celebrated for their size. Ours have won awards for where they take you – and how you feel on board.
SMALL SHIPS. BIG ADVANTAGE.
Avalon’s award-winning Suite Ships® aren’t about casinos, climbing walls, or crowded decks. They’re about clever design and comfort that brings the world to you.
Views for Days
From the Panorama Lounge to the Sky Deck, every space on our Suite Ships was designed to put the world in view – castles, vineyards, spires, and storybook towns.
Open-Air Balconies®
Don’t settle for a tiny step-out balcony that steals space from your room. Avalon’s wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows turn your entire room into a balcony, inviting the outside-in.
Space to Spare
With an average of just 150 guests on your Suite Ship, you can enjoy more room in lounges, dining spaces, and on the Sky Deck – and a crew who knows you (and your drink choice).
DOCK DIFFERENT. DO MORE.
Avalon Choice Excursions
Why wait hours to tender into port when your adventure is waiting for you, steps from your Suite Ship? With an average of 22 included excursions on our itineraries, your compass is in your hands to design your days, your way. From cooking classes in Vienna to kayaking under Pont Du Gard to strolling Normandy’s Landing Beaches, this is how you Europe!
