Sail Away to Paradise on the Avalon Tapestry II Cruise Ship

Launched in 2015, the 128-passenger Avalon Tapestry II is one of Avalon Waterways' "Suite Ships", renowned for their all-suite accommodation. These suites combine sleeping and living areas, larger than the average river ship cabin, with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, slide-open windows, so you can enjoy lovely views and fresh air. But the star feature is the river-facing beds, so you can take in the passing scenery from the comfort of your own room. Aboard, you'll find everything you'd expect from a 4- or 5-star hotel - contemporary and elegant decor, dining, lounges, bar, fitness room, beauty salon and a Sun Deck with whirlpool and barbecue. Fares include WiFi, beer, wine, soft drinks and most shore excursions. Optional excursions are available to purchase separately. Avalon Tapestry II operates out of Paris and is perfect for those wanting to explore the Seine River, French food, wine, culture and history. Normandy sailings are ideal for those interested in World War II, with many returning veterans taking the opportunity to see the famous landing beaches. With "cruise only" options available, everyone can find an itinerary to suit their tastes.
