Avalon Artistry II

Avalon Artistry II

Acquaint yourself with Europe on a journey aboard Avalon Artistry II, which sails the Rhine, Danube and Moselle Rivers, taking you to destinations such as Germany, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Holland, and many more beautiful cities and towns within. Launched in 2013, Avalon Artistry II is a part of Avalon Waterways’ new fleet of “Suite Ships,” featuring two full decks of suites that measure at least 200-square feet in size, making them 30% larger than the industry standard. When cruising on this ship, you can expect personalized service, luxurious accommodations, delicious cuisine and incredible itineraries, making for a first-rate cruise experience.

Avalon Artistry II has a passenger capacity of 128 so you can expect a very personalized cruise with individual attention from the crew to your fellow guests. Avalon Waterways embodies a welcoming spirit on all of their ships and Avalon Artistry II is no exception. The staff is ready to help you with anything you need, and since the ship has such a small capacity, your chances of making new friends is much higher than it would be on a larger vessel. The crew will even assist you in throwing private in-suite cocktail parties so you can truly enjoy your time onboard with the friends you make.

Destinations

The highlight of any river cruise on Avalon Artistry II are the rivers themselves as well as the many wonderful stops along the way. One of the biggest benefits of a river cruise is that you can spend the entire day seeing all there is to offer, and then you can wake up and do it all over again in a brand-new city or town. Some of the destinations to which Avalon Artistry II will bring you include:

• Basel
• Prague
• Amsterdam
• Paris
• Budapest
• Vienna

Every stop offers different paced tours with local experts and many different ways to learn about the European history and culture in each city, including bicycle tours. Imagine doing things like visiting Germany’s beautiful Black Forest, sampling local European cheese and wines, or exploring castle ruins in Heidelberg. With an Avalon Artistry II cruise, all of these things can easily turn into realities. Cultural enrichment doesn’t end once you step back onto your ship. Depending on where you travel, there will be different experts and specialists onboard, as well as special guest lecturers, who will pass on their specialized knowledge to you through Avalon’s seemingly limitless onboard enrichment program.

Dining Options

Another great highlight of cruises aboard Avalon Artistry II is the mouthwatering cuisine.
