We're Looking Out for the Way Your Clients Look Out

It's All About The Outlook

Changing an outlook can be a great thing. For Avalon, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our entire fleet of Suite Ships® in Europe and Southeast Asia features incomparable Panorama Suites^SM with the widest windows in river cruising that transform our suites into our signature Open Air Balconies^SM.

While other river cruise ships stick the bed against one wall only to face another wall, we’ve turned that idea on its head. With beds that actually face their wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, your clients will stretch out to the widest views in river cruising. With these kind of views, they can only open wide and say “Aaaahhhh!”

OUR ONE AND ONLY OPEN-AIR BALCONY

Your clients’ view of the world is about to change—big time. At Avalon, we transformed ordinary cruise cabins into our one-of-a-kind Open-Air Balcony. In our Panorama Suite, featured on the Suite Ships of Avalon, wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows open wider than any other in the industry, blurring the line between outside and in, forming a comfortable and spacious seating area, and creating an open invitation to discover and dream. Sail with us and one thing is certain—your clients’ outlook has never been brighter.

We Get Your Drift

Avalon believes guests should have a choice in how they explore each destination. Our Active & Discovery^SM cruises invite guests to explore the world their way. They can discover local culture, cuisine, and everything in between—from classic sightseeing to culinary classes to kayak excursions—with the perfect Avalon Choice® selections for their preference and pace.

Whether they like to paddle, pedal, or paint, they’ll enjoy each locale just as they please with their choice of active pursuits and cultural discoveries. They can explore by boat, bike, or hike, or watch the world go by from an outdoor café. Stir up a dish passed down through the centuries or try a new stroke in the style of great artists in a painting class, or just chill over a glass of wine. They will enjoy favorite pastimes while discovering the Old World in a new way!

Cruisers Can Be Choosers

One of the many joys of travel is the feeling of freedom that comes with it. On an Avalon river cruise, we expand that autonomy with Avalon Choice, a unique concept that allows your clients to personalize every element of their cruise. Elegant four-course dinner or a more casual approach in our Panorama Bistro? Ancient village by foot or bicycle? They decide what and where to eat on board, how they wish to explore the destination, and even the style and pace at which to experience many of the included port excursions - at no extra cost.

Your clients can select included excursion and onboard activity options based on what interests them most, so they can experience their cruise as they prefer... at their own pace. The 3 types of included excursions available on every Avalon Europe cruise:

CLASSIC

A local expert is ready to guide your clients through the history and heritage of local destinations and the "must see" sites.

DISCOVERY

Inspiring and interactive hands-on activities designed to speak to your clients' interests - they spend their day immersing themselves in the destination’s unique culture.

ACTIVE

Embark on energetic excursions keeping them in motion and on the go — from a guided jogging tour, to biking, paddling, and hiking their way through scenic locales.

Delight In Every Bite

While Avalon cruises provide a selection of nutritious local delicacies and Western favorites at every meal, we’re raising the bar with Avalon Fresh®. Created in conjunction with two of Europe’s rising culinary stars—the Wrenkh brothers—Avalon Fresh allows travelers to guiltlessly indulge in creative dishes that combine surprising flavors with a dash of innovation. With the philosophy of procuring the freshest ingredients from small farms and local producers, Avalon Fresh brings the passing landscape to your client's plate for an inspiring, fulfilling, and healthful dining experience.

SMALL SHIPS. BIG EXPERIENCES.

Avalon river cruises go beyond expectation. They go beyond the grand waterways of Europe, too. With a maximum capacity of 36 guests, our smaller Mekong River cruise ships can sail into surprising places in Southeast Asia that other ships simply cannot. Gliding through narrow passageways, these intimate ships get travelers up close to the sights, cultures, and traditions of Vietnam and Cambodia. While these smaller vessels lead guests to areas virtually untouched by tourists, personalized touches abound - offering unique experiences both on board and off.

Prior to departure – and for the duration of their vacation – guests can log in to check flight, hotel and transfer information, review their itinerary, and customize their trip with a host of entertainment, sightseeing, dining and shopping suggestions. Bistros, bars, bookstores, bakeries – they’re all in there! Best of all, when they're enjoying the ample free time on their Avalon Waterways vacation, they can safely wander without Wi-Fi and discover without draining data, as built-in GPS navigation works offline for on-trip ease.
