Avalon Waterways is an award-winning river cruise operator whose
innovative ships sail in Europe, China, Southeast Asia, Egypt, Peru and
the Galapagos Islands. The company has five Suite Ships
SM and
is debuting three more in 2014.
Avalon's accommodations are among the largest in the industry, and each
Suite Ship features two full decks of 200-square-foot Panorama
Suites
SM and 300-square-foot Royal Suites. These
accommodations are designed to maximize comfort and highlight passing
scenery with 11 feet of wall-to-wall panoramic windows. The windows
slide open to create a 7-foot opening, resulting in a space where
cruisers can enjoy the feeling of sitting comfortably
"outside" as the river scenery passes by.
Travelers receive complimentary Wi-Fi, and on board you'll find a Sky
Deck whirlpool, lounges, expanded fitness room and open-air bistro for
grilled lunches.
Guests enjoy complimentary bottled water in cabins, sparkling wine at
breakfast, regional beer and wine at dinner and unlimited specialty
coffees. Along with your choice of shore excursions led by highly
skilled Cruise and Tour Directors, you'll also enjoy VIP entrance to top
museums, landmarks and other attractions.
Right now, the line is offering our customers several fantastic deals on

Royal Caribbean has announced that it will base the
Navigator of the
Seas in Galveston year-round, with cruises from the Texas port city
starting on November 24. The 3,835-passenger ship will sail weeklong
Western Caribbean voyages, with itineraries alternating between Falmouth
(Jamaica), Grand Cayman and Cozumel and Roatan (Honduras), Belize City
and Cozumel.
Next February, the ship will complete a dry-dock renovation, during
which it will receive popular Royal Caribbean features including the
FlowRider surf simulator, the Royal Babies and Tots Nursery for children
ages 6 to 36 months and restaurants like Giovanni's Table and Izumi
Asian Cuisine. Some interior staterooms will be outfitted with
"virtual balconies," and new panoramic ocean-view staterooms
-- with floor-to-ceiling windows -- will be introduced.
