Avalon Waterways Announces New Suite Ship and Suite Fleet for 2019
LITTLETON, Colorado – March 7, 2018 – Travelers wanting to see the world need only cruise down its legendary rivers. For those interested in seeing more of the world, there’s Avalon Waterways. Today, the award-winning river cruise operator announced plans to unveil a NEW Suite Ship in 2019. The NEW Avalon Envision marks the company’s 13th Suite Ship in Europe and 16th Suite Ship worldwide.
“Avalon’s signature Suite Ships feature 200-square-foot, one-of-a-kind Panorama Suites on two full decks,” said Pam Hoffee, managing director of Avalon Waterways. “And, in 2019, there’s only one point-of-view on an Avalon Waterways river cruise: The suite view. For the first time, Avalon’s entire fleet will be made up of Suite Ships giving our travelers exclusive access to the industry’s only Open-Air Balconies and beds facing the incredible views for which river cruising is famous.”
Featuring the widest opening windows in river cruising, Avalon Waterways’ signature Panorama Suites and Open-Air Balconies feature wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that open wide (7-feet wide in Europe; 11-feet wide in SE Asia) to invite the outside-in, without compromising room space. Avalon’s Panorama Suites also feature large marble bathrooms and beds facing the views.
Avalon’s Suite Ships have made a splash in river cruising since the Avalon Panorama debuted in 2011 and have not only garnered industry awards; they have also won-over river cruisers across the globe.
In fact, according to a recent survey of 652 past Avalon travelers*:
- 95% of cruisers prefer Avalon’s Panorama Suites to other cruise line cabins and would choose Avalon Waterways again, based on their Panorama Suite experience.
- 95% also would choose Avalon’s Open-Air Balconies to traditional French balconies.
- Further, 92% of travelers said beds facing the views is “important” or “extremely important” when booking a river cruise.
The NEW Avalon Envision will debut in the Spring and sail on the Danube River on several itineraries including on the 10-day Danube Dreams, 10-day Legendary Danube and 12-day Blue Danube Discovery.
SEE BEYOND SALES EVENT: Travelers booking a 2019 cruise early can save up to $2,500 per couple on select Europe and Asia river cruises.
