Legendary river cruises, inspired design.
YO UNG E ST F LE ET,
INSP IR E D D E S I G N Avalon Waterways boasts the youngest fleet of ships on Europe’s rivers. In an industry with an average ship age of seven years, our average ship age is a mere 2.5 years. We’ve also redefined the river cruise industry by designing our ships – and the entire river cruise experience – around our guests. We call it “Inspired Design.” Not only do we boast the largest staterooms and suites on Europe’s waters, our amenities are countless, including fitness centres, flat-screen televisions, Sky Decks with shade systems, premium lounge chairs, whirlpools, free Wi-Fi and so much more.
DESIGN We started with the traveller, instead of the ship. Instead of listening to accountants who want more people and less space, we listened to our travellers. We let innovation, imagination and a relentless desire to create a smart use of space be our guide. The result is the Panorama Suite - 200 square feet of luxury.
LUXURY & COMFORT Two words we take seriously and so do our travellers. Our staterooms and suites offer deluxe Comfort Collection BedsSM with Egyptian super-combed co on linens, European-style duvets and choice of pillows, plush robes, slippers, complimentary bo led water and nightly turndown service. Luxury bathrooms feature marble countertops and premium L’Occitane toiletries.
OPEN-AIR-BALCONY SM While others ask you to compromise, we present staterooms that never will. We created innovative Open-Air BalconiesSM without compromising room space. Travellers can slide the doors wide open and enjoy the feeling of si ing comfortably “outside” as the amazing views of castles, villages, rolling green hills and ancient cities pass by.
VIEWS River cruising is all about the ever-changing views. While other cruise ships give their guests a view that never changes, we took a different approach and angled our beds to face the giant window. In doing that, we gave our travellers more space and a be er view from the comfort of bed. That’s what happens when you pay a ention to the details.
® TH CHOICE ANNIVERSARY
Avalon cruisers enjoy the luxury of choice. From deciding what and where to eat, to selecting room configuration and cruising style; from choosing on-land discoveries and on-board enrichments to making online, pre-sail customisations via MyAccount, every Avalon experience, every nuance is up to – and is inspired by – our guests.
