Built in 2006, the Avalon Tapestry® is a new type of ship for river cruising, offered exclusively by Avalon Waterways on the English-speaking market.
Contrary to other vessels on the rivers today, the navigational bridge
is located in the stern, behind the passenger section, thereby allowing
for more spacious and gracious interior designs. The lounge and
restaurant, located in the front of the vessel, give unimpeded views on
three sides of the passing river landscape. The Sky Deck is a vast area
for sunning, taking your pictures, or just relaxing!
The Avalon Tapestry® provides a
complete break from the pressures of every day. The public rooms are
elegant, and the dining room is extra spacious. The cuisine and wines
on board will surpass your expectations. Pampered by our crew, our
guests will make new friends and enjoy the casual camaraderie that
leisurely cruising creates. You unpack only once, then enjoy life by
lazing on the Sky Deck as timeless landscapes pass before you.
Avalon Tapestry® features the Silent
Drive System (SDS) created to enhance guest experiences. SDS features
ship engines located at the stern, separating it from the passenger
compartment, allowing for a quieter cruise experience than traditional
small ships.

Laura rated this tour a 4 on 10/7/2009 10:48:19 AM and says:
"Here is our impression of the Avalon Poetry. We met Andreaj, our Tour Director, the first evening In Prague where we spent 3 nights at the Hilton. He was always most helpful and had lots of good advice. His job is a hard one as there were 4 busses for each included tour and at least 2 busses for each optional tour. Everything went on schedule and seamlessly so kudos to him. Every single tour whether included or optional was guided by a friendly, knowledgeable and humorous guide no matter what city. Lots of time we sailed at night due to the schedule but they make sure let us be on deck, cameras ready, to see the Wauchau Valley between Vienna and Budapest. It’s magnificent; all terraced lands and castles and villages. We also were on deck early to arrive in Budapest as the view of the Parliament and the Casle on the Buda side are incomparable. The Poetry is a lovely vessel which appears to be brand new. Even though it needs to be low and sleek to get through the locks and under the bridges, one never felt closed in. It’s bright, the cabins and bathrooms are fine and the spacious lounge and dining room afford great views. What really makes the cruise is the Staff. We were made to feel very welcome and throughout the entire cruise, every one was friendly and happy to be taking care of us. At the farewell dinner they put on a talent show that is amazing. No one will be discovered and made a star but the laughs were plentiful. Great fun. Every night in the lounge, we had a talented guitarist/piano player who was very entertaining and some regional talent was offered when we were docked in the evening. One night we had a marvelous violinist, and in Germany we had a beer lesson including tastes of different beers. Our last dinner had a trio perform tableside in the dining room so that we as fun as well. The breakfast and lunch buffets were abundant with choices, including an egg station (even on day of departure at 6AM) and the selection every day at lunch was great. Dinner offers two or three choices for entrée and we had some wonderful regional specialties. On nights where we had a tour or a concert, dinner was buffet and was about 1 ½ -2 hours. If there was no tour, dinner was so leisurely, it could be over two hours with the free wine flowing. The small size of the boat makes it possible to meet a lot of other passengers and as we all have like interests, it’s easy to make friends quickly with folks from all over. All in all, a great time was had by all. "
