The all-suite life

A new kind of river cruiser is now sailing down the Rhine on its maiden voyage. The new Avalon Panorama calls itself a 'suite ship' and it is certainly a new concept for a river cruiser with two full decks of suites featuring a wall-to-wall window that transforms the living space into a vast open-air balcony. The suites area so 30% larger than the industry standard. Onboard amenities include an Internet corner and Wi-Fi access, a well-stocked library, an expanded fitness center, and a spacious Sky Deck and open-air Bistro. Watch the scenery float past on a series of itineraries that take in the Danube, Rhine and Main . www.avalonwaterways.com , www.avalonwaterways.com.au
