Avalon Poetry II Cruises
Avalon Poetry II – where Europe's rivers tell their story.
Avalon Poetry II is a modern Suite Ship crafted for immersive journeys along the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. Designed with Avalon Waterways’ signature open-air Panorama Suites and an intimate guest capacity, she offers a relaxed yet refined setting for exploring Europe’s cultural heart. Avalon Poetry II blends thoughtful design, destination-led experiences and welcoming service to create a journey that feels both effortless and enriching.
Avalon Poetry II invites guests to experience Europe from a different perspective, where each bend in the river reveals another chapter of history. Whether gliding past the castles of the Rhine Gorge or approaching the grand boulevards of Vienna and Budapest along the Danube, the scenery remains a constant companion.
Her design focuses on openness and flow. Light streams through expansive windows in the public areas, while the Sky Deck offers uninterrupted views of vineyards, fortresses, and cathedral spires. The ship’s scale encourages a sense of familiarity, where guests quickly feel at home and conversations unfold naturally.
