Avalon Waterways - The World Misses You

Avalon Waterways

Where are you Dreamin up?

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

Avalon Waterways started with the traveler when designing its new ships. Avalon Waterways is a river cruise company inviting innovation, imagination, and relentless desire to create a smart use of space.

Avalon Waterways Logo

Avalon Waterways ships are built differently: they have more space, more significant views, and more comfort. The river cruise industry has been revolutionized by Avalon Suite Ships! Because they do not offer travelers just a few Panorama Suites on each ship. Indeed, 80 percent of the guest rooms on Suite Ships are Panorama Suite (they’re 30 percent larger than the average river cruise room). Avalon’s mission is not to fill up their ships with people; they provide much more space and accommodate fewer guests.
