The Avalon Illumination was the latest suite ship added to the Avalon Waterways fleet this June. But that’s just the beginning of a host of new additions being added to the prominent river cruise line. 2015 promises to be one of innovation for Avalon Waterways – from new ships to new features.

Along with two additional suite ships, the Tapestry II and the Tranquility II, passengers can look forward to all-new itineraries heading through France. In 2015, Suite ships from the Avalon Waterways fleet will be sailing on the Seine, the Rhone and the Saone.

Alongside the irresistible new itineraries comes a wealth of specialist themed cruises designed to create the most thrilling of voyages. Special interest departures for 2015 will be sailing up and down Europe’s rivers throughout the year. The new theme cruises include an Author’s cruise and even an Opera cruise, with on-board presentations expert tour guides, and riveting speakers providing all sorts of enrichment experiences for guests.

As an added bonus, 2015 is to be the year when Avalon Waterways officially extend their chauffeur transfer service to a 100 mile radius. This means more locations in the UK than ever can enjoy private comfortable transfers to their Avalon ship – and with the amazing features included, it’s all for the better.
