About Avalon Waterways:

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