Dunnington, UK ( prsafe ) June 27, 2012 - Following the recent launch of their new European River Cruises 2013 brochure, Avalon Waterways, the premier choice for all European river cruises, has confirmed that two brand new cruise ships, christened Expression and Artistry II, will be joining their European fleet next year.

Featuring two full decks of suites with wall-to-wall panoramic windows and open-air balconies, Expression and Artistry II has been built with comfort in mind and truly encapsulate Avalon Waterways' continued dedication to providing customers with elegance and luxury.

The Artistry II cruise ship will launch in May 2013, its debut on the popular Rhine River Cruise from Amsterdam to Basel Avalon Waterways 'Romantic Rhine' cruise holiday. Likewise Expression, which also launches next May, will service passengers on Avalon Waterways 'Magnificent Europe', 'The Legendary Danube' and 'The Blue Danube Discovery' cruise tours.

These two new state-of-the-art ships are joining the already impressive fleet assembled by Avalon Waterways in recent years. Both luxurious and magnificent, Expression and Artistry II highlight just how relaxing European cruise holidays can be: customers have only one option aboard such ships, and that is to indulge.

Commenting on the launch of their brand new cruise ships, a spokesperson for Avalon Waterways said today:

"Here at Avalon Waterways we're incredibly excited about our new European River Cruises 2013 brochure. Next year is all about what's new, and our customers will simply adore our newly commissioned Expression and Artistry II ships.
