Because Avalon Poetry II only carries 128 passengers, the quality of service is high. The staterooms and suites, however, are spacious. Panorama and Royal Suites are more than 30% larger than the usual river cruise suite, and offer retractable glass doors that essentially become open-air suites. Imagine watching gorgeous riverside locations drift by from the comfort and privacy of your suite. All staterooms include luxury memory foam mattress toppers, robes, and slippers.

Avalon Poetry II shore excursions are led by expert regional tour guides, and vary in pace level. You can also borrow maps, bikes, and walking sticks to enjoy your time in port even more, especially if you go out on your own.

Dining aboard Avalon Poetry II is plentiful and flexible, from the breakfast buffets for both early and late risers to healthy options. You can even indulge in afternoon tea and dine al fresco, too. Of course, multi-course meals are also available.
