Your favorite chair. Your go-to snack. Your signature sip. You can’t help but feel at home aboard an Avalon Suite Ship. Avalon cruisers know that feeling aboard our intimate Suite Ships—not as another face in the crowd or a number on a guest list. When you cruise with Avalon, there are certain words you’ll never hear on board. “Take a number” is simply not in our vocabulary. That’s because our staff—from captain to crew to housekeeping to chefs—know the meaning of ‘You First’ when it comes to worldclass service. With a 3:1 guest-to-crew ratio, you’ll enjoy personalized VIP treatment delivered with a relaxed luxury that’s never stuffy—just home, sweet home.
Like magic, Avalon makes wide open spaces feel comfy and cozy with the perfect spots to stretch out and enjoy the view, engaging conversation, or the peace and quiet you crave. From the Club Lounge to the Observation Lounge to the Panorama Lounge, you’re sure to find the perfect place to take it all in. And with complimentary room service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—you can choose to take in the view in the privacy of your own room.
That means no crowds on an Avalon cruise. Our smaller passenger numbers and communication practices on board mean you’re always in the know on board and on shore. With nightly Port Talk updates of the next day’s adventures, knowledgeable Guest Services desk, friendly Cruise Director and Adventure Host, digital signage on deck, informative ship kiosks, and your AvalonGO mobile app keep you at the center of it all!
On an Avalon river cruise, you can’t help but get to know your crew and staff—from your captain, chef, bartender, room attendants, and fellow cruisers. Mingle as much or as little as you like, but we predict you’ll feel the connection from the first throw of the bowlines to the final drop of the anchor. To us, you are a special guest who we truly enjoy getting to know—never lost in a sea of strangers like those big ship cruises!
