Avalon Waterways
Brand History and Competitive Advantage:
Since we launched our very first ship in 2004, Avalon Waterways has invited our travellers to be our inspiration. Thanks to our guests, we let imagination and a relentless desire to create a smart use of space, be our guide. The result? An incomparable cruise experience, including one-of-a-kind.
Panorama Suites – with innovative Open-Air Balconies® – on the industry’s only Suite Ships®: Unequaled vessels that feature two full decks of 200 and 300 square-foot suites.
Whether your clients are looking for a romantic mini-break, an in-depth 24-day exploration or something in between, award-winning Avalon Waterways allows them to choose the cruise that reveals the very best of Europe, Asia or South America– their way!

Features and Benefits:
OPEN-AIR BALCONY: Avalon’s innovative Open-Air Balconies blur the line between outside and in while forming a comfortable and spacious seating area for six and creating an open invitation to discover and dream. Even better? Avalon’s balconies do not sacrifice room space. In contrast, they invite our guests to enjoy 100 percent of their Panorama Suite, 100 percent of the time.
VIEWS: Unlike our competition, our staterooms (over 70 percent of them) feature beds that face the windows and the incredible sights river cruising is famous for. In fact, on two full decks of every Suite Ship® in Europe and Southeast Asia, Avalon Waterways offers travellers a unique point-of-view: One where the view is the whole point.
INCLUSIVE: On each and every vacation, Avalon Waterways encourages travellers to see the world through the lens of a local with inspired, local inclusions on board and on shore. Unique perspectives deserve unique experiences like regional wine and beer with dinner, artisan demonstrations and on shore cultural excursions.
FRESH: Avalon Waterways has teamed up with brothers Karl and Leo Wrenkh – two of Europe’s rising culinary stars – to present the latest concept in “haute cuisine.” With Avalon Fresh, travellers can guiltlessly indulge in creative dishes that surprising flavours with a dash of innovation.
