Reasons to Book
Consider Yourself at Home
Your favourite 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 personalised VIP treatment delivered with a relaxed luxury that’s never stuffy—just home, sweet home.
Avalon at Your Service
From your first welcome to our final wave goodbye, your Avalon staff and crew are at your service to ensure an extraordinary cruise experience. From Captain to Cruise Director to crew members, we deliver first-rate service that’s second to none.Your View is Ready
