I was wondering whether you have electric bikes, and also how many kilometres do we ride each day? If it is sometimes too far for me, are there alternative activities I could do?

Please note that the majority of our bicycle fleet are standard pedal bikes, and if we do have any electric bikes onboard, availability is limited and not guaranteed. We encourage passengers to enquire at reception upon embarkation to book the use of our bicycles. We do have bicycle excursions as part of some of our optional excursions that the passengers can choose to book. Unless otherwise specified, these cycling optional excursions will always be with standard bicycles. None of these cycling excursions are mandatory, so if you don't feel up to it on a particular day, you can participate in one of our other optional excursions, spend time exploring the towns on your own or spend time relaxing onboard the ship.

We would like to thank our Statesman Attendee that took care of all our needs in our room 107. He was friendly and did an amazing job, Marisio our waiter served us with the highest respect and friendliness. Over all Avalon have very good staff and always a smile- nothing too much trouble. The ship was so clean, food was spectacular. We had a surprise group of singers Gwen and Charles who brought great entertainment. The other entertainer was amazing. Loved the top deck BBQ. We met lots of new friends aboard. Thank you Avalon for a trip well executed.Show more
