I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable journey through the Balkans on the Avalon Passion cruise ship. From the moment I stepped aboard to the final farewell, every aspect of the trip exceeded my expectations. Service: The service provided by the crew on Avalon Passion was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the attentive care throughout the ...

The whole experience was faultless until the last day when BA cancelled our flight, but this shows the staff dedication as they worked tirelessly to resolve this problem and got us home. The ship itself is large but cosy, the staff made us feel welcome, our cabin spotless and very pleasant. Bathroom is a little gem. There is a friendly atmosphere and a willingness to make your cruising a pleasant ...

We were looking for an add on to our Croatia road tour and we wanted something that we could relax and enjoy after some hectic days on the road. This cruise did not disappoint! You are treated first class. Everyone is there to make sure you have a wonderful time. The staterooms are a good size, very roomy for a boat. You can unpack, put your suitcases away, and just let the crew take care of ...

We had a lovely time on the cruise and we were fortunate to have nice traveling companions. The food was good and the sights were nice. The internet in the room was non-existent and in the lounge is was poor. This is a huge issue as so many of us are working remotely. The excursions were left at the mercy of below average guides. Sandemans has much better guides and so do other organizations. ...

We chose the cruise to finally see the Black Sea. Even though part of the Black Sea part was modified to reflect the fact that Ukraine was under attack, the cruise offered what was otherwise advertised and more. By and large, the weather was excellent. Melinda (the cruise director) and the ship's crew worked well together and indivudually to make the cruise enjoyable, relaxing, and fun. One ...

The ship is beautiful and so well kept. We never felt like it was too crowded or noisy, even when the Panorama lounge was full. There is a small, quieter lounge on the upper level with coffee, tea, flavored water and snacks. The upper deck has plenty of seating for all who want to spend time in the open. Our cabin was on the lowest level, and it was comfortable with a big window that gave us a ...

I selected this Cruise company because it fit our plan to see the Oberammergua Passion Play with a Danube River Cruise. This was our 3rd river cruise. The pre-trip was TERRIBLE. The cruise was DELIGHTFUL. One of the Reservation clerks was extremely rude to me. Our travel agent called the office and was put on HOLD every time for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours before getting to talk to the ...

Having traveled to over 100 countries for business and leisure, chose this cruise to experience a part of the world previously not explored. Overall experience was excellent. Avalon commitment to high quality was evident in all parts of the vacation - from pre/post information and care, to choice of hotels, local guides and upkeep, services and dining on the ship. Visits were good to ...

Had always wanted to see Christmas Markets and seeing them via a cruise sounded idyllic - it was. From the time we boarded to disembarking we were looked after superbly. The Cruise Director (Valentin) was very efficient with a great sense of humor which made everything run very smoothly. All the staff were very friendly and determined to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. The excursions ...

I had previously been on another river cruise with a different company and wanted to try Avalon Waterways to compare. Avalon far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend using them. We enjoyed the ship, our cabin, the food, amazing friendly staff (cruise director Valentin was the best, with his extensive knowledge and wicked humor, as was Melinda our cabin person who went above and ...
