Creativity
With a design that reflects the uniqueness of the area, is what differentiates Avalon Waterways (Globus) Creativity from the other Avalon River (Globus) Cruise vessels. Carrying a maximum of just 140 passengers with two suites, she will be one of the smallest of the Avalon River (Globus) Cruise ships, yet the Avalon Waterways Creativity staterooms are equally spacious and well appointed, with floor-to-ceiling windows on two decks.

Whirlpool
The 6 person whirlpool is the perfect place to unwind after an exciting day of sightseeing. Located on the Sky Deck.We loved our river cruise on the Seine! Also loved our time in Paris. The Pullman Hotel was great. All good on flights and transfers too.
Our hotel location was beyond our expectations. All of the paperwork was very clear and the transfers were very smooth and timely.
Absolutely one of the most wonderful vacations so far. Treated like royalty on the cruise. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Avalon is a great company to choose for a river cruise trip. The staff is excellent and very sensitive to passengers' needs. Great food and good tours.
Lovely trip. The first day was rather rocky. We arrived very early and were left in a hotel basement. It was also cold and rainy and not conducive to exploring on our own. An optional tour to the Louvre that day would have suited many of us as we were not oriented enough to get there on our own. Once on the ship at 5:00 PM, it was wonderful for the rest of the week.
