Our Story

See the world, your way.

The window of opportunity to see and experience the world just got a whole lot wider. The same company that reinvented river cruise ships has now redefined the river cruise experience. Beyond the widest views on the water is an open invitation to experience your destination in more ways, in exceptional ways, in your way.

There's only one point of view on an Avalon Waterways® river cruise - the suite view. Our entire fleet in Europe and Southeast Asia is completely comprised of Suite Ships®, each featuring our Panorama Suites SM, with the widest opening windows in river cruising, the industry's only Open-Air Balcony SM, and an inviting bed facing the ever-changing scenery. Wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling, our panoramic windows blur the line between outside and in, yet clearly present a world waiting to be explored however you please. Even if you're a seasoned traveller, you've never seen, or experienced, a world like this.
