Smaller Ships, Bigger Experiences, Fewer People, More of Everything
Aboard Avalon Waterways’ novel, award-winning Suite Ships, “crowd pleasing” is not in their vocabulary. In fact, Avalon Waterways doesn’t like crowds at all. Instead, Avalon’s magnificently modern, best-in-class ships average just 150 guests – some much less – to give cruisers the space, the time and the attention they deserve on vacation. Cruising as the world has known it has sailed. Avalon aims to please only their guests.
