The Avalon Suite Ships® truly set the bar high with their Open-Air Balcony® design. Thirty percent larger than the industry standard, these suites let passengers experience river views like never before. The Comfort Collection Beds℠ are positioned to face fully wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, making every moment feel like you’re floating in a room with the widest opening to the world outside.
Designed from the bottom up for comfort, space, and room to dream, each Avalon Suite Ship® consists of 80% Panorama Suites—offering the widest view in river cruising. Larger suites result in fewer passengers, so you’ll never feel crowded anywhere on board. From reclining on the open-air Sky Deck, relaxing in the spacious Panorama Lounge, or feeling the wind over the bough on the Observation Lounge, there’s never a shortage of comfortable spots to stretch out, day dream, or just watch the world go by.
No two travelers are alike—so Avalon would never expect you to enjoy the same cruise experiences as everyone else. Whether you like to paddle a kayak, paint a canvas, or even play board games with fellow guests, each day on an Avalon river cruise is an adventure for the mind, heart, or heart rate if you prefer. So go ahead—pick up a paintbrush, grab a paddle, or savor the perfect vintage. The possibilities are as wide open as the views.
Avalon shares the flavors of the world with the freshest local ingredients prepared by their talented chefs and served in your choice of venues on board. Our Avalon FlexDining® approach to onboard dining experiences has tossed out the idea of restrictive seating times in limited settings. Choose from options like 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.
