The last we checked, people still traveled to see. Which is precisely why we made our Panorama SuitesSM on our Suite Ships® 30% larger than the industry standard, and created an expansive opening that blurs the line between outside and in â€" and yesterday and today. Our wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows open wider than any other window, creating river cruising's one and only Open-Air Balcony® â€" an open invitation to discover and dream. And speaking of dreaming, we turned our beds to face the window, giving you a bed with a view for the sweetest visions ever. Of course better views are just the beginning when you sail with Avalon.
