Why Book
Avalon Illumination
Overview
Avalon Waterways' fleet of luxury river ships welcomed Avalon Illumination in 2014. Step aboard this small and intimate Suite Ship® and explore the rivers of Europe and beyond with a maximum of 165 fellow passengers on board. The attentive crew are on hand to ensure you make the most of your time on board and there are spacious public areas where you can relax, socialise, or simply take in the ever-changing views. The ship's five decks include two decks of stylish suites with unique open-air balconies and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows; equally-matched by elegant dining venues, bars and lounges, and abundant leisure amenities. Most mornings, Avalon Illumination drops anchor at a new port of call where you'll find fascinating sightseeing options and a variety of activities.
Food & Drink
Start your day with a hearty buffet breakfast in the open-seating Dining Room; early/late riser and room service breakfasts are also an option too. The lunch buffet presents international dishes and also carving and pasta stations. Afternoon tea of tea, coffee, and cakes is the perfect way to unwind after time ashore. Each evening, a four-course dinner with a variety of seasonal dishes is served to your table. A welcome dinner on your first evening and a five-course farewell dinner on your final night enhance your dining experiences. Discover Avalon Fresh healthy dishes at every meal and Healthy Corner choices to suit your dietary needs. Alternatively, take your seat for a light lunch and dinner with regional specialities and wine in the Panorama Bistro or choose from the lunch menu in the Sky Bistro on the Sky Deck. Relax with your morning coffee and stunning vistas in Observation Lounge or enjoy a few quiet moments with a gin and tonic in the Club Lounge. Sip cocktails with a view on Sky Deck or visit Panorama Lounge bar for premium spirits; Happy Hour takes place every evening and includes featured drink specials. The Captain's reception with sparkling wine and canapés is your chance to mix with the friendly crew and fellow guests. There is a self-serve 24-hour beverage station with complimentary tea, hot chocolate, and premium coffee so you can make a drink whenever you wish. Complimentary wine, beer, soft drinks, tea, and coffee are also available with lunch and dinner.
Entertainment
There is something to entertain you both day and night on Avalon Illumination. Head to Sky Deck to sunbathe on a premium lounge chair, read a book under the shade awnings, or kickback in the whirlpool. Shape up with a workout in the Fitness Centre, treat yourself to a new hairdo in the hair salon, or make use of the complimentary Wi-Fi access. Visits from local artisans and experts bring to life the customs, cultures, and tastes of your ports of call. Time in port includes a choice of sightseeing options with certified local guides or you can explore independently by foot or on two wheels. After dinner, socialise in the lounges or enjoy occasional entertainment and live music from visiting local entertainers.
Health & Fitness
Saying hello to adventure doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your healthy habits and restorative rituals. From heart-healthy menu options and heart-pumping activities to mindful yoga moves, Avalon makes it easy to remain a picture of health amidst the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Kids & Teens
Avalon allow travellers from the ages of 8 and over although there are no children’s facilities on-board.
