About Avalon Felicity
Avalon Felicity belongs to Avalon Waterways's Suite Ship series and entered service in 2010. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 110 metres in length and accommodates up to 138 guests in 69 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.
Avalon Waterways introduced the Suite Ship concept in 2011 — a vessel where every standard cabin was reimagined as an open-air suite with the bed turned to face an eleven-foot panoramic window. The fleet sails the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Rhône-Saône, Douro, Po, Mekong, Irrawaddy and Galápagos. Avalon Felicity reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.
The ship's typical home waters are the Main & Moselle, where she runs 6 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.
