So, the next time you travel, enjoy a breath of fresh air-with Avalon Waterways river cruises and small-ship cruises.
With Avalon Waterways' river cruises and small-ship cruises, you'll sail on the newest river cruise ships on the European waterways-an impressive fleet that averages just two years in age. In fact, each year Avalon adds new award-winning vessels-2010 sees the launching of the Avalon Felicity and the Avalon Luminary river cruise ships.
You'll also enjoy modern, luxury river cruising on board the Victoria Anna and Victoria Jenna in China, the Royal Lotus in Egypt, and the La Pinta and Santa Cruz in the Galápagos Islands.
These river cruise & small-ship cruise ships all feature elegant interiors with abundant glass, polished metal, vibrant colors, modern designs with contemporary appointments, state-of the-art technology, personalized service, fine dining, remarkable amenities, and spacious outside staterooms. And as one of the most recognized and fastest-growing river cruise brands in the world, Avalon has captured a 96% traveler satisfaction rating aboard our river cruises.*
With Avalon Waterways river cruises, you'll see the world's most beautiful landscapes-even from the privacy of your luxury stateroom. That's because on an Avalon river cruise ship all staterooms enjoy an outside location and are designed to enhance your river cruising experience. Staterooms feature a minimum of 172 square feet of space and are the largest on the European rivers today.
While offering the newest river cruise ships on the European waterways might satisfy some companies, we don't stop there. As part of the Globus family of brands, we're also the best on land, with over 80 years of experience. Whether you're cruising down China's mighty Yangtze River, exploring the wonders of the Galápagos Islands, floating past antiquities along Egypt's majestic Nile River, or taking in the wonders of Europe, you'll benefit from more in-depth sightseeing to truly feel the charm of your destination on an Avalon river cruise.
