Avalon Waterways continues to set the standard in the river cruise market. With 20% growth in 2009, Avalon combines the comfort and style of the world’s youngest river cruise fleet with the stories and charm of years gone by.
Setting sail in 2010, the newest members of the Avalon family, the Avalon Luminary and the Avalon Felicity are certainly making waves as they cruise the picturesque waters of Holland, Austria, Czech Republic and Germany. While other operators’ ships are more traditional, these ships are designed to reflect the uniqueness of the area, differentiating them from other Avalon river cruise vessels. Every detail of the new vessels was conceived with the guest in mind, from the spacious staterooms with three full-size closets, to the beautiful open floor plan and stunning, panoramic views.
The “Avalon Difference” that is embodied throughout Luminary and Felicity is apparent on all of Avalon’s ships, which average only two years of age. More than eight-five percent of the staterooms in the fleet have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and French balconies. Modern conveniences include flat screen TVs in all the staterooms and wireless internet access.
Since its inception, Avalon has offered fine dining with complimentary local wines which vary nightly. Guests enjoy impeccable service from an English-speaking crew, cuisine tailored to North American tastes to plenty of engaging onboard activities.
Because Avalon is part of the Globus family of brands, all land programs are operated by Globus, the leader in escorted travel. As the ships dock in city centers, travelers can walk directly off the boat and into the heart of the action. Expert Tour Directors share little-known stories and insightful tips so passengers return to the ship having experienced a slice of local life.
