21st-century European river boats offer the amenities of modern cruise ships; Internet and balconies included.
The Avalon Waterways Creativity
I already know that river cruises are fantastic because I have sailed on the Rhine, the Main, the Seine, the Danube, the Moscow, the Yangtze and the Nile. Now there is a new generation of riverboats, owned and operated by Avalon Waterways among others, with revolutionary features that even experienced river boaters have never seen before if they haven't sailed lately. The average age of all ten Avalon vessels is still just two years old.
These 21st-century river boats take river cruising to the next level. They offer more spacious staterooms with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and French balconies for fresh air. There is a mini-bar for cold drinks and snacks in your stateroom at no extra charge, and there is even Internet Wi-Fi access available in your stateroom or anyplace else on the boat.
