Avalon Scores Best Stateroom Award

Stéphanie Bishop, managing director for the Globus family of brands in Canada, reports that for the third consecutive year its river cruise brand, Avalon Waterways, has been awarded the coveted Best River Cruise Cabin award with Cruise Critic.

In announcing the Editors’ Picks award, Cruise Critic remarked, “river cruise cabins come in many iterations. But we’re hard-pressed to find one better than Avalon’s signature Panoramic Suite.”

“This is a huge honour for us, and clearly shows that these suites are an enormous hit with our passengers,” says Bishop of the cruise line’s innovative, 200 sq. ft. staterooms.

Each Panorama Suite features an entire window wall which opens over two metres to bring in the sights and sounds of Europe.

“The other truly innovative aspect of the suites, which make up the vast majority of our staterooms, is that the beds face the windows, and guests love lying back and watching medieval towns and ancient vineyards glide by.”
