Avalon Tapestry II Cruises

Avalon Tapestry II – where Paris meets the poetry of Normandy.


Avalon Tapestry II is a contemporary Suite Ship purpose-built for sailing France’s Seine River. Carrying a limited number of guests, she offers an intimate and refined setting for exploring Paris, Normandy and the charming riverside towns in between. With Avalon’s signature Panorama Suites and a relaxed onboard atmosphere, Avalon Tapestry II delivers a culturally rich and effortlessly comfortable French river experience.

Avalon Tapestry II captures the romance and artistry of northern France, sailing round-trip from Paris through landscapes that inspired Monet and countless Impressionist painters. Her scale suits the Seine perfectly, creating a journey that feels personal and deeply connected to place.


Itineraries blend the elegance of Paris with the historic significance of Normandy’s D-Day beaches, as well as visits to Rouen and other storybook towns. Included excursions provide meaningful context, whether walking through mediaeval streets, exploring grand châteaux or standing on the windswept shores of history.
