Avalon Impression

Sail along the European rivers in comfort and style on a beautiful Avalon Impression cruise. Explore the lovely Danube River, the romantic Rhine River and others, taking you to Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Switzerland, and more countries. Within these amazing destinations, you can visit big cities and small villages that will give you a new perspective on the world.

Launched in 2014, Avalon Impression is the sister ship to Avalon Illumination and a part of Avalon Waterways fleet of “Suite Ships,” featuring two full decks of suites that are at least 200 square feet, making them 30% larger than the industry standard. On your Avalon Impression cruise, expect personalized service, elegant accommodations, delectable cuisine, and excellent itineraries, making for a superior cruise experience.

Avalon Impression has a passenger capacity of 166 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 Impression is no exception. The staff is ready to help you with anything you need. Since the ship has such a small capacity, your chances of making new friends are much higher than on a larger vessel. The crew can even assist you in throwing private in-suite cocktail parties so you can truly enjoy your time onboard with the friends you make.
