Other Avalon Waterways cruise ships
Avalon Tapestry II Wiki
The Avalon Tapestry II boat (ENI number 02335808) is the ninth vessel in Avalon Waterways' "Suite Ship" class. Among the ship’s top features are two full decks of Suite cabins—each with wall-to-wall sliding windows and a French Balcony—and spacious, varied public areas, all featuring full-length floor-to-ceiling windows.
Each Avalon Waterways "Suite Ship" is powered by two Caterpillar Marine diesel engines (model C32 ACERT) with a total power output of 1420 kW / 1930 HP, along with an emergency diesel generator. The ship uses diesel-electric propulsion, featuring an azimuth thruster at the bow and a "Silent Drive System" that isolates the engines from the passenger staterooms to minimize noise and vibration.
The Avalon cruise ship Tapestry II was launched in 2015. The vessel’s godmother is Mrs. Diana Gabaldon, the renowned author of the *Outlander* novel series. The christening ceremony was held in Les Andelys (Normandy, France) on March 25, 2015. The original "Avalon Tapestry" ship is now owned by Premicon AG and operates under the name "Travelmarvel Sapphire" (formerly "Vienna I").
