Avalon Panorama Suites

Offering guests the perfect blend of elegance and ease, there’s a reason our ships are the critics’ darlings. Avalon’s boutique-hotel-inspired Panorama SuitesSM – available on two full decks of every Suite Ship – feature the industry’s only Open-Air Balcony® with the widest-opening windows in cruising.
Providing wider openings for the wide-eyed, Avalon Waterways Open-Air Balconies were designed with our guests’ views in mind. A Panorama Suite highlight on the Suite Ships of Avalon, these wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows open 7-feet wide in Europe and 11-feet wide in Southeast Asia … Wider than any other balconies in the industry.
Avalon’s innovative, no-one-does-it-like-this 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?  Open-Air 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. When guests choose an elevated cruise with Avalon, one thing is certain … their outlook of the world has never been brighter.

Avalon Choice Excursions:

As Avalon guests set sail down the world’s most legendary waters, they enjoy a curated collection of the most intriguing experiences to immerse in, on board and off.
Whether our guests want to take a guided walking tour of one of Europe’s great cities, join a cooking class or paddle a canoe, our Avalon Choice® selections of Classic, Discovery and Active excursions offer a wide range of possibilities. With as many as 28 included excursions on their cruising itinerary, the compass is in guests’ hands to choose any direction they desire.
And, when Avalon cruisers prefer to explore on their own, they have access to all the recommendations, information and gear they need with Avalon Waterways’ Adventure Center and AvalonGO mobile app, making it easy to take a complimentary bike out for a spin or enjoy freeing experiences in port.
