Creator's Key Takeaways

they have what they call signature sweet ships and they have a couple of features which make them unique and different in river cruising on European rivers

the rooms are pretty big so one of the things that Avalon talk about is their rooms are up to 30% bigger than the standard size of most other river cruise ships

the beds are the power armor suite they actually face outwards to their face towards the window so you get to see the scenery

the meals are great at dinner for example you have a choice of up to three starters you have two soups four main courses and normally for desserts

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the ship's limited facilities when planning your activities.
Book a panorama suite for larger rooms and better views.
Be aware that the ship may not cater extensively for people with mobility issues.
