Overview

You’ll have a sweet experience on the Avalon Artistry II, one of Avalon Waterways’ Suite Ships. Being a Suite Ship means 52 of the ship’s 64 staterooms are suites, which are on average 30% larger than the staterooms of other river ships. These suites include beautiful panoramic windows for the best sightseeing, and seating areas to enjoy the river’s vistas. The ship also has beautiful public spaces like the Sky Bistro where you can get a delightful meal as you get a full view of Europe’s countryside. The Avalon Artistry II’s Sky Deck also includes a whirlpool and lounge chairs for a relaxing space to meet your fellow passengers.
