Rest easy (literally) as you enjoy bigger views, more space and 24/7 access to open-air cruising. With Avalon, the views are as wide open as the

SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING VOTED BEST CABINS IN RIVER CRUISING BY “There are cruise ships that sail various destinations and then there are cruise ships BUILT SPECIFICALLY for destinations.” GINA KRAMER, CRUISE CRITIC EDITOR ------------------------- “The _piece de resistance_ in the cabin, however, is the lack of a balcony. Not having an actual carved out balcony is just one of the things that Avalon does marvelously. Suites all boast an 11-foot floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door/window that opens 7-feet wide, which essentially makes your entire room a balcony. Pop a chair in front of the railing or lay in bed (which faces the water) for the view of your life and fresh air on your skin.” ELIZABETH, PORTHOLE MAGAZINE “Whether you are single, widowed, or divorced—I say, "Get up, get dressed, and get out there!" After my husband passed away, life was not the same. But taking a cruise on the Danube at Christmas time (all the Christmas markets are magical) was truly the trip of a lifetime. It was life changing and saved me. The smile on my face won't go away and neither will all the wonderful memories I take with me and the newfound friends I have. I'll cherish this trip forever.”
