Avalon Artistry II Cruises

Avalon Artistry II – opening a window to Europe.


Avalon Artistry II is a contemporary Suite Ship designed to showcase Europe’s most iconic rivers in comfort and style. Sailing itineraries along the Rhine, Danube, Main and beyond, she combines Avalon’s signature Panorama Suites with relaxed social spaces and a welcoming onboard atmosphere. Carrying a limited number of guests, Avalon Artistry II offers an intimate yet modern river experience shaped around discovery and effortless comfort.

Avalon Artistry II reflects Avalon Waterways’ thoughtful approach to river cruising, where space, light and connection to the destination guide every detail. Designed as part of the line’s innovative Suite Ship fleet, she places the river at the heart of the experience, from her expansive windows to her open-air Sky Deck.


Her itineraries explore Europe’s grand capitals, storybook villages and vineyard-covered valleys, whether sailing the romantic Rhine, the cultural Danube or the scenic Main.

Each journey balances guided insight with free time, allowing guests to explore at their own pace before returning to a ship that feels calm, social and welcoming.


Onboard, the atmosphere is relaxed and contemporary rather than formal. Evenings unfold with regional cuisine, local wines and gentle live music, while mornings begin with ever-changing views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Avalon Artistry II is ideal for travellers seeking a refined yet unpretentious way to experience Europe’s waterways.

    The Panorama Lounge is the social heart of Avalon Artistry II. With expansive windows and comfortable seating, it offers a light-filled setting by day and a softly lit gathering place in the evening.


    Guests can enjoy regional wines, local beers and classic cocktails while sharing stories from the day’s adventures. The atmosphere remains relaxed and conversational, encouraging connection without the noise or formality of larger ocean ships.

  • Entertainment

    • Entertainment on the Avalon Artistry II

    Entertainment onboard Avalon Artistry II is intimate and destination-focused. Evenings may feature local musicians, small cultural performances or relaxed live music in the lounge.


    Rather than grand productions, the emphasis is on shared moments and meaningful experiences. Watching a sunset from the Sky Deck or enjoying a quiet drink as the ship glides into port often becomes the most memorable highlight.

  • Activities

    Life aboard Avalon Artistry II is shaped by the destinations she visits. Included shore excursions provide cultural depth through guided sightseeing, while more active options such as walking and cycling tours offer a dynamic way to explore.


    Onboard activities are designed to enrich rather than overwhelm. Destination briefings, regional tastings and occasional demonstrations deepen guests’ understanding of each port.

    Between excursions, the Sky Deck and lounge areas offer space to relax, read or connect with fellow travellers as the river scenery unfolds.
