Cruising the Moselle Valley with Avalon Waterways

The entire ship has floor-to-ceiling windows. There are no sectioned off spaces. No walls blocking your view.

The Avalon Difference

The Gorgeous Avalon Rooms

The rooms are beautiful and the suites offer floor-to-ceiling windows that open completely to convert your room into a balcony!

The Aft Deck is Open to Everyone

The club allows you to sit inside, again with floor-to-ceiling windows – or you can enjoy the back deck.

We learned during our orientation that this space is normally reserved for high-end suites in other ships.

The selection includes a nice selection of mixed drinks, cocktails, wine, and beer.

Daily Included Happy Hour

We actually flew into Luxembourg a day early and spent a night at the Le Royal. This gave us time to explore the city before joining up with our Avalon Waterways itinerary.
