Avalon Imagery

Avalon Imagery® is a modern and imaginatively designed river cruise ship, featuring the navigational bridge in the stern, behind the passenger section, allowing for a more spacious and free-flowing interior design. The innovative positioning of the bridge means that the lounge and restaurant are at the front of the river cruise ship, giving unimpeded views of the landscape as you cruise. In addition, the Sky Deck, stretching out in front of the bridge, affords plenty of space to soak up the sun, take pictures or just simply relax.

Avalon Luminary

Recently launched, Avalon Luminary is one of the newest additions to the Avalon fleet and innovatively designed to be smaller than traditional river cruise ships, for ease of navigation on intricate waterways. Embodying Avalon's distinguished reputation for modern technology, stylish interiors and chic, spacious public areas, MS Avalon Luminary accommodates just 138 passengers in 69 comfortable, well-equipped staterooms and suites.

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.

Avalon Poetry

The Avalon Poetry® is built and equipped with state of the art technology. The first and most striking thing you will notice is the two-storey glass atrium in the central lobby, topped by a glass ceiling, flooding the area with light. The interiors are designed by architect, Hans Sabert, and the Avalon Poetry® boasts some of the largest staterooms of any river cruise ship.

Avalon Scenery

Avalon Scenery is a modern and well-equipped river cruise ship, benefitting from a design which creates a feeling of space and light throughout.

Avalon Tapestry

Avalon Tapestry® was one of the first river cruise holiday ships to feature an innovative new design, with the navigational bridge at the stern. This design means that the public areas of the ship have a much more spacious and airy feel, with the lounge and restaurant in particular benefitting from a position right at the front of the ship with unimpeded views of the river landscape as you cruise.
