About Avalon Envision
About Avalon Waterways
No other fleet of river cruise ships offers you a view of the world like Avalon Suite Ships,ยฎ featuring Avalon Panorama SuitesSM. Thirty percent larger than the industry standard, theyโre actually river cruising's only OpenโAir Balconyยฎ โ with nothing between you and the view. While other river cruise cabins are designed with beds against a wall for a view of another wall, our Comfort Collection BedsSM actually face the view with the widest-opening, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in river cruising. Think of it as a view with a room!
