Avalon Panorama
Overview
Launching in May 2011, the impressive new Avalon Panorama is a unique ‘Suite Ship’ - the first of its kind in the industry. Our newest ship features two full decks of Panorama suites with wall-to-wall panoramic windows and open-air balconies, upgrades and enhancements throughout the ship, as well as a host of new onboard facilities and services. Every Avalon Panorama suite provides the very best in size, views and design available on Europe’s rivers. Each is sized at a remarkably spacious 200 square feet and features an impressive wall-to-wall panoramic window which opens to an airy two thirds across, giving the feeling of having your own exclusive open-air balcony. The suites’ full-size seating area is ideal for quiet moments to yourself, or is spacious enough to host a private cocktail party for new found friends. The cleverly designed positioning of the bed means you will wake up and retire to bed facing the magnificent passing landscapes.
