Avalon's interiors were described in a cruise brochure of 1969 as follows:
The s.s. "Avalon" offers the high standard of comfort to be found in modern ships. The cabins have wash basins with hot and cold running water, hanging and drawer spaces for clothes, a large mirror and an electric point for razors. There are a number of bathrooms and showers throughout the vessel.
The ship has spacious public rooms and contemporary, colourful design gives to each of them its own individual appeal. These include observation lounges fore and aft on the Promenade Deck. There is a Ladies' Retiring Room leading from the aft lounge. Attractive smokerooms with bars are also situated fore and aft in the ship with observation windows on three sides. The restaurant is situated amidships and has ample accommodation for 160 people at tables for two, three, four or six.
A 1973 brochure continues:
There is a ship's shop with a wide range of essential goods and gifts. Nightly dancing is a feature of the "Avalon" cruises when the ship's rhythm group entertains in the "Deep Sea Dive". Feature films are shown regularly and the Cruise Director keeps the fun flowing with a programme of games, competitions, whist drives and novelty entertainment. For cruise passengers who prefer the quiet life the "Avalon" has many lounges where you can also relax in a comfortable chair and take it easy. |
