CRUISING ELEVATED.
Avalon Waterways has redefined cruising by going against the current and away from the ordinary. Delivering unparalleled experiences and boundless exploration, Avalon places guests in the captain's seat to navigate their journeys, fuel their passions and steer clear of the unexpected as they cruise down the world's most memorable and mesmerizing waterways. One step aboard our modern, luxurious Suite Ships with the grandest views in cruising and it's easy to see how the tides are changing.
Welcome to a new wave in cruising. Welcome aboard Avalon Waterways.
WIDE OPEN WONDER. BETTER BY DESIGN.
Offering guests the perfect blend of elegance and ease, there's a reason Avalon ships are the critics' darlings. Avalon's boutique-hotel-inspired Panorama SuitesSM – available on two full decks of every Suite Ship – feature the industry's only Open-Air Balcony® with the widest-opening windows in cruising, but that's not all. Every Panorama Suite offers guests Comfort Collection beds that face the ever-changing scenery.
Providing wider openings for the wide-eyed, Avalon Waterways Open-Air Balconies were designed with our guests' views in mind. A Panorama Suite highlight on the Suite Ships of Avalon, these wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows open 7-feet wide in Europe and 11-feet wide in Southeast Asia … Wider than any other balconies in the industry.
Avalon's innovative, no-one-does-it-like-this Open-Air Balconies blur the line between outside and in while forming a comfortable and spacious seating area for six and creating an open invitation to discover and dream. Even better? Open-Air Balconies do not sacrifice room space. In contrast, they invite guests to enjoy 100 percent of their Panorama Suite, 100 percent of the time. When guests choose an elevated cruise with Avalon, one thing is certain … their outlook of the world has never been brighter.
A NEW VIEW OF THE OLD WORLD. BOARD HERE FOR BOUNDLESS.
As Avalon guests set sail down the world's most legendary waters, they enjoy a curated collection of the most intriguing experiences to immerse in, on board and off.
Whether our guests want to take a guided walking tour of one of Europe's great cities, join a cooking class or paddle a canoe, the Avalon Choice® selections of Classic, Discovery and Active excursions offer a wide range of possibilities. With as many as 28 included excursions on their cruising itinerary, the compass is in guests' hands to choose any direction they desire.
And, when Avalon cruisers prefer to explore on their own, they have access to all the recommendations, information and gear they need with Avalon Waterways' Adventure Center and AvalonGO mobile app, making it easy to take a complimentary bike or e-bike out for a spin or enjoy freeing experiences in port.
