Like the very rivers they travel, Avalon Waterways is continually moving forward, embracing the world beyond. It's this approach that inspired them to create a completely new class of ships—vessels designed with your comfort in mind that are revolutionizing river cruising itself. Launched in May 2011, the Avalon Panorama became Avalon's introductory "Suite Ship"—the first of its kind in the industry. In 2012, the Panorama was joined by two equally impressive ships: the Avalon Vista and the Avalon Visionary. These splendid vessels deliver an experience like no other—with two full decks of Panorama Suites featuring Wall-to-Wall Panoramic Windows that open to create unique Open-Air Balconies, upgrades and enhancements throughout, and a host of innovative onboard amenities and services.
There’s no better way for you to experience the heart of the world’s most enchanting destinations than on a river or small-ship cruise. With spectacular journeys along the famous waterways of Europe, Egypt, China, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Galápagos Islands, Avalon cruising offers a comfortable and relaxing way to see the world.
