Avalon Waterways 
Avalon Waterways Avalon Waterways Each ship in the Avalon fleet includes our signature Panorama Suites, however there’s also the option to book a Deluxe Stateroom or Royal Suite – so it really depends on your pricepoint and what you’re looking for.
Although the price of your cruise includes access to a range of included tours, tastings and activities – Avalon Waterways makes a point of hand-selecting some additional excursions guests may wish to pay to participate in.
In our years of experience, we’ve found that children under the age of eight years old do not typically fare well on cruise vacations, so we do not accept children under that age.
Our mission at crui.se is to help you and your loved one’s book and experience the best cruise holiday imaginable. We’re different in that, our customers come first, not our suppliers or profit margins. Get in touch and let us help you set sail.
