Traveling to these counties was somewhere we had never been. The actual cruise was terrific. The pre-trip was fine, nothing great. The guides and excursions were usually just an average. One in Vidin Bulgaria was terrific. Nothing in context with regards to history or inclusion (lots of churches and according to guides no synagogues, even when they were 1 or 2 blocks away) and we found them on ...

We wanted a relaxing couple of weeks. A little sightseeing was ok, but we were not into museums etc. The excursions, by and large, were quite interesting. There was one serious exception: In Belgrade, there was an optional excursion - Learn about Yugoslav history by driving around in a Yugo. This was a total disaster. They drove us around in clunkers with no air conditioning. We were sweating like ...

I chose this as it was an area of Europe I had not yet explored, however, I did not realize the countries visited would be so austere and still have such a large communist influence. Because of the oppressed feeling I felt I would not recommend this cruise. The cruise itself was very good but not the places visited. The staff was excellent, cleanliness top notch, food very good. I would ...

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. ...

This was my fourth river cruise but first on Avalon - the itinerary and sailing dates were what we wanted. We went to Bucharest three days early to explore and are very glad that we did. There is a lot to see in Bucharest and very good food.
Our accommodations on the escorted, managed part of the tour were very nice and the Cruise Director was very helpful as were the staff on the ship. The ...

Had a lot of friends who love the river cruise experience and thought we would give it a try.
Service was very good. The staff works extremely hard to make the guests have a wonderful experience. If you like structure and and a clean well run experience this is it.
Very little hassle with transportation, travel, transfers etc.
The cabin was very nice. Excellent bed, bath and staff. ...

Traveled with a teen and since it was summer there were other teens on board. There are no programs or plans for children/teens though so not recommended if you are looking for someone to entertain them. Ship crew is very friendly and hard working, overall great. Included tours are perfect for an intro to the area although not so great if you want to sleep as most are in the morning. They use ...

The duration and locations, especially starting on the Black Sea. Very happy we went from east to west as it consistently got better all the way to Prague. Budapest and Prague were great large cities and the smaller towns like Durnstein and Pecs were great surprises. The Passion was very nice with a small spa, but the exercise room was way too small. I couldn't lift the weights up as they hit ...

We chose Avalon because of the service, bed facing window, 7 ft wide "room balcony" (Panorama Suite) and itinerary. The ports were altered due to the low water...but Avalon made it seemless by re positioning the ship to a better port in Austria (Englehartszell) with easy access to promised stops of Regensburg, Germany and Passau, Germany by luxury motorcoach. Avalon was kind enough to ...
