Avalon's claim to fame is that their staterooms have a unique feature.  Their beds actually face your wall-to-wall floor to ceiling panoramic windows. A view with a room and a feature I love. To lay in comfort on my bed and still see the world go by. . Our cruise Countries were Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Germany, France, Netherlands . You can go in either direction. Ours was Basel to Amsterdam.  Avalon includes excursions in most of the ports with extra excursions available to purchase.  With this being my first river cruise having ports up close to each city the easy access to explore was amazing.  I have also cruised many times on ocean cruises and now I can compare both and give you direction to what you are after.
