Explore Avalon Artistry II

Dining Room

The ship’s main venue is the Dining Room situated on the Sapphire deck. With an elegantly simple design, you can enjoy a full buffet breakfast or lunch with special options for those who wish to eat lightly, and delicious four-course dinners in the evening.

Active Excursions

FOR THE MOVER.

Whether you enjoy sightseeing by kayak, on two wheels, or on your own two feet, you’ll relish the energy of Avalon’s Active excursion collection. Biking, hiking, and boating tours pack real get-up-and-go for those who like to do the same.

Bar

Avalon Artistry's bar can be located on the Royal Deck.

Fitness Centre

On Board Fitness Center

Although heart rates are naturally elevated on an Avalon cruise, every Avalon Suite Ship features an updated fitness center—complete with the latest cardio and weight-training equipment—for those not looking to give their abs, biceps or triceps a vacation.

Whirlpool Atop The Skydeck

Avalon travelers enjoy immersive experiences at every turn. Soak up the culture and cuisine of fascinating regions, then toast the day with therapeutic bubbles in the soothing Sky Deck whirlpool.

Yoga On Board

Before you set out to discover the lives of kings, queens and conquerors, you can easily find your inner warrior, cobra or happy baby. Avalon Adventure Hosts kick-start each day with a combination of yoga poses, Pilates exercises and gentle stretches in the fresh morning air on the Sky Deck or with panoramic views in the Panorama Lounge. Downward dogs welcome.
