1-10 of 51 Avalon Waterways Avalon Passion Cruise Reviews for River to Europe
I always wanted to sail the Danube and my husband and Avalon made this dream come true. It was a beautiful trip and we we so lucky to be sailing with Avalon. The ship was beautiful and beautifully run. The staff were attentive and helpful and the talk’s informative. The food was outstanding.
The lounge was spacious and everything was so clean and well looked after.
The reception staff were ...
We booked this river cruise one month out for October. Not sure we would even be able to get a room. Our travel agent (Affordable Tours) found us one on the Avalon line. We had room and worried that it was not a good spot, being as it was the first one). It turned out to be a great location. Next to the main lobby and restaurants. He had us go a week later for a great cruise rate.
The ...
Chose this cruise as it had very good reviews and we were not dissapointed in any way whatsoever! The Cruise director (Valentine) crossed every T and dotted every I making sure we didn't need to "think" just enjoy. He should also be a stand up comic. We had a group of 11 and they made sure to accomodate our large group with ease and efficiency.
The food was EXCELLENT at EVERY MEAL and the ...
The cruise was a fantastic way to explore Austria, Hungary, Germany, and Slovakia in complete comfort. The crew was very polite, knowledgeable, and organized. I enjoyed the relatively small amount of people on board, and everybody felt personable. The ship was extremely clean and sanitary. The food was of the utmost quality and completely exceeded my expectations. Excursions were interesting and ...
A trip on the Danube was on our bucket list, so we decided to go ahead and book a River Cruise this year.
We've been on an Avalon Waterways cruise before, so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Everything is included in the price which we liked, and the ship and cabins are spotlessly clean. The staff can't do enough for you to make your stay special and are very friendly. You are greted by ...
This was our first cruise on Avalon, and it definitely won’t be our last! The Eastern European itinerary is unique, as it covers 4 countries where tourism is still in somewhat of the infancy stage (with the possible exception of Croatia, which has gotten quite built up). Our cruise covered four countries - Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania. Most of the passengers onboard had traveled on ...
Could not have been more pleased with every aspect of the cruise from Croatia to the Black Sea. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great experience while on our tour. The cruise director even provided a special educational session on her personal experiences growing up in Communist eastern Europe. Excursions were well planned out, educational, and fun! Enjoyed the ...
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 ...
