Award-Winning CABINS. HIGHEST-RATED COMFORT.

Cruise Critic named Avalon Best Cabins in River Cruising – and it’s easy to see why. Every stateroom is smartly designed, beautifully appointed, and built around what matters most: the view.

THE BEST VIEWS IN CRUISING. BY DESIGN.

Would you like your coffee with one castle or two? On an Avalon cruise, the scenery isn’t background – it’s the main event. From the moment you wake, Europe (and beyond) rolls right past your floor-to-ceiling windows: fairytale castles perched on hillsides, terraced vineyards tumbling to the water’s edge, cathedral spires piercing the sky, and swans gliding alongside your ship.

SEE THE WORLD. NOT THE WALL.

And Avalon’s Panorama Suites℠ were built to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Spanning two full decks of every Suite Ship®, these boutique-hotel-inspired rooms feature the industry’s only Open-Air Balconies® with wall-to-wall windows that open wide to bring the outside-in. Plus Comfort Collection℠ beds that face the ever-changing views instead of a never-changing wall.

At 200 square feet, our rooms are an average of 30% larger than others – giving you more room to breathe, more light to live in, and more wonder at every turn!

ALL THE EXTRAS, ALREADY INCLUDED.

• Open–Air Balconies® and Wall-to-Wall Panoramic Windows in all Panorama Suites℠
