Overview
It’s the life you’ll experience while sailing through the rivers of Europe on Avalon Waterways’ Avalon Poetry II that you’ll remember forever. The sights and sounds will inspire you and the compelling history you learn on complimentary walking tours and excursions in the many ports will enrich you. The tastes of locally cultivated cheeses, aged wines from nearby vineyards and hearty European meat dishes will be hard to duplicate back at home. In all, the experience is even sweeter when you can slip into the whirlpool on the Sky Deck for a special sunset viewing spot or meet local artisans who come aboard the Avalon Poetry II to showcase their work.
