Since its launch in 2004, AvalonWaterways has christened 10 new ships in Europe. In May 2011, the company will introduce the Avalon Panorama, the industry's first "Suite Ship." With a focus on bringing the outdoor experience inside, 65 of the Panorama's staterooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that slide open to create a balcony-like exterior wall for broader views of Europe's passing landscapes.
