MS Avalon Tapestry

A blend of European elegance and American friendliness.

Why is the Avalon Tapestry special?

 

New in 2006, the Avalon Tapestry is a new type of ship for river cruising, offered exclusively by Avalon Waterways on the English-speaking market.

Contrary to other vessels on the rivers today, the navigational bridge is located in the stern, behind the passenger section, thereby allowing for more spacious and gracious interior designs. The lounge and restaurant, located in the front of the vessel, give unimpeded views on three sides of the passing river landscape. The Sky Deck is a vast area for sunning, taking your pictures, or just relaxing!

The ship can accommodate 164 passengers in 80 staterooms and 2 junior suites.

Relax and enjoy yourself

 

The Tapestry provides a complete break from the pressures of every day. The public rooms are elegant, and the dining room is extra spacious. The cuisine and wines on board will surpass your expectations. Pampered by our crew, our guests will make new friends and enjoy the casual camaraderie that leisurely cruising creates. You unpack only once, then enjoy life by lazing on the Sky Deck as timeless landscapes pass before you.

Included values aboard the Tapestry are:

 

  • All staterooms feature large closets, individual climate control, telephone, color satellite TV, radio, minibar, safe, hair dryer, and modern bathrooms with shower

     

  • Beds may be configured as two twins or one queen

     

  • The interior of the ships is non-smoking
  • Enjoy the onboard exercise room

     

  • Enjoy personal service from our English-speaking staff

     

  • Open seating with one sitting at mealtimes

     

  • Wine included with all onboard dinners

     

  • Coffee and tea are available free of charge throughout the day

     

  • The Sky Deck is fitted with newly developed shade systems, which are lowered and guaranteed to be back in position immediately after passing under a bridge
