My father fought in the Battle of the Bulge during WW2. I was interested in history of Belgium as well as a river cruise..unlimited.. food, liquor, friends, Didn't know about availability of Avalon tour to Bastogne. Found out about it when I returned.... disappointed. Really liked Walonia.... history of region. Not so much Amsterdam. Weather was fine. We got what we paid for. Wanted ...

My partner and I saw the advert in the newspaper and were attracted by the price, which was a lot lower than normal. We contacted the agent and booked. The only complaint I have is that we had to fly from Heathrow Airport which added £146 to our travel costs. Gatwick would have been a pleasure by comparison. The cruise itself was an absolute pleasure. The ship (Avalon Visionary) is beautiful, the ...

We decided to meet with some old friends for a cruise, and we had had a great experience with Avalon on a cruise years ago. Like clockwork, we met aboard the Visionary, a river cruise ship with great style and accommodations. Immediately, we were catered to with a staff of unfailingly courteous and cheerful people. There were hot towels waiting for us at the end of each day's excursion, along with ...

The main purpose of this trip was to see the tulips at the Keukenhof. We wanted to try a river cruise since big cruises are not as appealing to us. Usually, river cruises are marketed for older people. We are in our 30s, but wanted to try it anyway. It doesn't disappoint! We arrived a day before to explore the city (Amsterdam) and the hotel provided was great. Transfers were included and were ...

This was our first river cruise. We chose the 8-day cruise for length of time & German concentration. We did extend our cruise arriving 1 1/2 days early in Amsterdam & explored on our own. We also stayed in Zurich for 1 1/2 days before flying back to Amsterdam, then home the next day. We did have several issues with the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Zurich, but got them ...

I took this cruise with my folks (87 and 82) after talking about it for years. This was the first river cruise by any of us. It more than surpassed our expectations. The shuttle picked us up at the airport and delivered us to the boat around 11:30 am. While we couldn't access our rooms until 4:30, all of our luggage was taken care of for us and we were allowed to hang out on the boat in some of ...

This was our first time on a river cruise. I loved loved loved it! My husband liked it very much but the jury is still out on river vs ocean for him. We both thought the ship (Avalon Visionary) was lovely. While the cabins were nicely appointed and the beds extremely comfortable, I would not get the basic cabin again. We had a long narrow window up at the ceiling that I could not see out of. ...

I signed up because a friend needed a roommate. I had been disappointed by a former cruise on a much larger ship, so I didn't expect much. Embarkation was smooth and painless. The staff were friendly and helpful. All meals were wonderful, but especially the 4-course dinners in the evening. There was variety and no matter what choice you made, it was delicious for the palate and the eyes, ...

We chose this cruise because it was the most perfect one to xperience the height of Holland’s tulip season. Our research led us to Avalon because of its reputation and it would be our first river cruise. The cruise staff and outstanding tours gave us a fine European experience, and loved the meals as well. We found our cabin to be larger than expectations, for which we were very pleased. We always ...

This was my first visit to Europe. Having heard rave reviews regarding tulip tours, I was excited to see the tulip fields and gardens as well as touring Amsterdam and northern Holland, myself. I traveled with Globus a few years ago on a bus tour through the American West and it was a fabulous trip. It seemed logical going with a Globus company cruise line. I was not disappointed. The ...
