Overview
Avalon Waterways' Avalon Illumination offers all the amenities of a high-class hotel in Europe, including a hair salon, fitness center, and bar, but it provides even more. One of the standout features is that the ship takes you from town to town, with your cruise director also serving as an expert tour guide. Additionally, the Avalon Illumination functions as a five-star restaurant, serving hot breakfasts in the morning and four or five-course dinners at night, accompanied by complimentary regional wines. Lunch menus include a range of options, from local delicacies to typical American comfort food, and there are also tea times and tastings held throughout the day.
