Launched in 2007, the 441-foot long Avalon Tranquility is one of Avalon Waterways‘ largest vessels and most unique vessels.
Along with her sisters Avalon Imagery and Avalon Tapestry, these vessels feature a distinct layout that separates the mechanical, navigation and propulsion systems from the main passenger spaces, placing them aft and accommodation and lounges forward. The result of this arrangement is a quieter, smoother river cruise experience.
