Avalon cruisers know that feeling aboard our intimate Suite Ships—not as another face in the crowd or a number on a guest list. When you cruise with Avalon, there are certain words you’ll never hear on board. “Take a number” is simply not in our vocabulary. That’s because our staff—from captain to crew to housekeeping to chefs—know the meaning of ‘You First’ when it comes to worldclass service. With a 3:1 guest-to-crew ratio, you’ll enjoy personalized VIP treatment delivered with a relaxed luxury that’s never stuffy—just home, sweet home.

With Avalon, cruisers can be choosers.

Your local guides on an Avalon Waterways vacation have a passion for sharing the legends and stories behind the sites. They love to share their corner of the world with you, so you walk away with a true feeling and understanding for newly discovered destinations.

Tilgængelighed
Disabled Facilities
Avalon Waterways gør rimelige forsøg på at imødekomme særlige behov hos handicappede og bevægelseshæmmede rejsende, men påtager sig ikke ansvar, hvis dette ikke er muligt. Da vi i mange situationer ikke kan tilbyde individuel assistance til rejsende, og størstedelen af vores transportmidler ikke er udstyret med ramper til kørestole, anbefaler vi, at du læser vores vilkår og betingelser for yderligere oplysninger og kontakter os for at lære mere.
Aldersbegrænsning
Age Restrictions
Gennem vores mange års erfaring med krydstogter har vi erfaret, at børn under otte år som regel er for unge til fuldt ud at nyde en krydstogtsferie. Af hensyn til både sikkerhed og fornøjelse for alle passagerer accepterer vi derfor ikke børn under otte år. Vi gør desuden opmærksom på, at der ikke tilbydes særlige arrangementer eller aktiviteter for børn ombord på vores skibe.
Særlige Kostbehov
Dietary Requirements
Vi er opmærksomme på, at nogle rejsende kan have særlige kostbehov. Desværre kan vi ikke garantere opfyldelse af kostkrav på vores rejser. Vi gør vores ypperste for at imødekomme dine ønsker, men vores skibe samt hoteller og restauranter kan muligvis ikke håndtere specifikke diætbehov. Vi beder dig oplyse eventuelle kostkrav ved booking og samtidig drøfte dem med din Hotel Manager ved ombordstigning.
Påklædningskode
Dress Code
Din komfort er vores højeste prioritet. Ombord og på land er påklædningskoden afslappet. Medbring venligst behagelige sko til sightseeing. Middagstøj er afslappet—åbne skjorter og bukser for herrer; bukser, nederdele eller kjoler for damer. Frakker og slips kan bæres efter ønske. Velkomst- og afskedsmiddage i Europa er elegante, men ikke formelle. På Mekong, Amazonas og Galápagos anbefales formelt tøj, herunder frakker og slips, ikke på grund af det varme og fugtige klima.
Rygeregler
Smoking Policy
Alle skibe har røgfri indendørsområder. Rygning er kun tilladt i et særligt udendørs område på hvert skib.
Internetadgang
Wi-Fi & Internet Access

To access the ship's Wi-Fi Internet network, you will be given a PIN number at reception to use on your laptop, tablet, or mobile device. Wi-Fi is not available in the Amazon or Galápagos.
Medicinske Faciliteter

Vaskeri
Services
Vaskeservice er tilgængelig om bord mod et beskedent gebyr. Se prisliste i din kahyt. Tøj kan ikke renses kemisk om bord. Af sikkerhedshensyn beder vi passagererne om ikke at stryge deres tøj i kahytterne, da dette udgør en brandfare. Ombord kan vaskeservicen presse dit tøj mod betaling. Vaskeservice er ikke tilgængelig på Galápagos.
Aircondition og opvarmning
Services
Alle kahytter ombord på skibene er udstyret med aircondition og opvarmning. Hvert skib har individuelle betjeningsmuligheder i kahytterne, så komforten kan tilpasses efter eget ønske.
