Premium River Cruising Your Way
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.” So said Heraclitus of ancient Greece. He could have said the same about an Avalon river cruise. Since no two travellers are the same, Avalon would never expect you to enjoy the same cruise as any other traveller. Even as you return again and again, your river cruises will be continually renewed and distinct from the ones before or after.
Your opportunities are as varied as the vistas you’ll cruise by, making each day on an Avalon Waterways cruise an adventure of the mind, heart, or heart rate – all enjoyed at your pace, with your preferences, in your way.

What Makes the Panorama Suite Different
Wall-to-Wall Windows, 30% More Space
Avalon Waterways takes pride in having a fleet of river cruise ships unlike any other. Their Suite Ships – consisting of 80% Panorama Suites – feature the widest-opening, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in river cruising, offering you a view of the world that cannot be surpassed with living space that’s 30% larger than the industry standard.
Larger suites result in fewer passengers, so you’ll never feel crowded anywhere on board. Staterooms and suites come with your choice of Comfort Collection mattresses and pillows, Egyptian cotton sheets under European-style duvets, premium L’Occitane bath products, plush towels, bathrobes, and slippers, marble-top bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers, a fully stocked mini-bar, state-of-the-art flatscreen TVs, and free Wi-Fi throughout the ship.
FlexDining & Culinary Excellence
Avalon’s FlexDining approach has tossed out the idea of restrictive seating times in limited settings. Instead, choose from a breezy al fresco lunch at the Sky Grill, an elegant four-course dinner in the glass-walled Panorama Dining Room, or a more casual culinary setting in the Panorama Bistro.
Whichever table setting you choose, you’ll savour local flavours as well as familiar favourites prepared with the freshest local ingredients. Thanks to their collaboration with Austrian brothers Leo and Karl Wrenkh – leading chefs in the healthy-dining movement – you can take an indulgent vacation without drifting from your healthy habits. Avalon Fresh uses ingredients from local farms and suppliers to create innovative yet wholesome dishes available at every meal.
If you’re in a more spirited mood, toast your adventures with craft cocktails designed by award-winning mixologist Martin Hudak in the Panorama Lounge.
Explore the World Your Way
Avalon Waterways brings you closer to the world’s most captivating destinations. Explore Europe down the Rhine, Danube, Moselle, Rhone, Saone, or Seine. Experience India along the Ganges or elegant, exotic Egypt on the Nile. Sail the mighty Amazon or get up close with Darwin’s theory in the Galapagos. Reveal Vietnam and Cambodia’s history, mystery, and magical beauty along the Mekong River.
With Avalon Choice, every excursion is tailored to your style – whether you prefer Classic sightseeing, hands-on Discovery experiences, or heart-pumping Active adventures. Raise a glass at an Austrian wine tasting or raise your heart rate on a jogging tour of Cologne. The opportunities are boundless.

Onboard Spaces & Experiences
When you leave your stateroom or suite, you don’t leave the luxury or the magnificent views behind. The quintessential Avalon touch is in every detail throughout their elegant river cruise ships.
Recline on the open-air Sky Deck – lavishly designed with a shade system, premium lounge chairs, a game area, and a whirlpool. Get your sweat on in the state-of-the-art fitness centre. Cosy up in the Club Lounge Library with a great book, a fun game of cards, or board games with new friends you’ll make onboard.
Grab a premium spirit in the upscale bar as you take in the passing scenery from the Observation Lounge, or simply feel the wind over the bow. However you choose to enjoy your Avalon river cruise, you’ll do it indulgently and in a way that’s uniquely your own.
