Avalon Impression Cruises

Avalon Impression – Europe in full view


Avalon Impression is a contemporary Suite Ship designed to showcase the beauty and culture of Europe’s great rivers. Sailing itineraries along the Rhine, Main and Danube, she combines Avalon Waterways’ signature Panorama Suites with a relaxed and welcoming onboard atmosphere. With light-filled public spaces and immersive shore experiences, Avalon Impression offers a refined yet unpretentious way to explore Europe by river.

Avalon Impression reflects Avalon Waterways’ thoughtful approach to river cruising, where the scenery and the destination always lead the journey. As part of the line’s innovative Suite Ship fleet, she was purpose-built to maximise space and views, ensuring guests remain closely connected to the landscapes unfolding outside.


Her itineraries travel through the dramatic Rhine Gorge, along the elegant Danube, and into some of Europe’s most celebrated capitals and charming towns.

Each voyage blends included guided excursions with time for independent discovery, allowing guests to explore at their own pace before returning to a ship that feels calm and inviting.


Onboard, Avalon Impression offers a contemporary yet comfortably social environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood lounges with natural light, while the open-air Sky Deck provides sweeping views of castles, vineyards, and historic skylines. Evenings are relaxed and convivial, shaped by regional cuisine, local wines, and gentle entertainment. Avalon Impression is ideal for travellers seeking meaningful cultural exploration in a setting that feels both polished and welcoming.

    • Entertainment on the Avalon Impression

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

    Life aboard Avalon Impression is shaped by exploration. Included shore excursions provide rich cultural and historical insight, while Avalon’s Classic, Active, and Discovery options allow guests to personalise their experience.
