Welcome Aboard Avalon Artistry II

CRUISE EUROPE IN STYLE

We'd had a complete day of sightseeing on our pre-cruise excursion, and after a short walk up the gangway, we were greeted by the ship's officers, cruise director, and many of the crew members of Avalon Artistry II.   This would be our floating home for the next 12 nights.

We've already told you about the embarkation process and evening's activities in our other posts.  We'll share a few more images of the ship in this article and accompanying photo album, from our initial exploration.

But first, we'd like to tell you about the Artistry II and what makes her a great vessel for exploring Europe.
