One of the best features of river cruising is the friendliness of fellow passengers. With mostly American and a few Canadian and Australians we enjoyed some interesting discussions, particularly amongst those who had visited our homeland Scotland. Impressed with the Cruise Director Simona, very confident and professional throughout; leading and involvement with every aspect of the cruise, ...

We chose this cruise for two main reasons, we were looking for a cruise that went to the Normandy Landing Beaches and it was a last minute bargain!!! This was the second river cruise we have been on and we didn't want a below deck cabin (like last time) so we paid a bit extra too have one of the top deck cabins with the floor to ceiling sliding doors, so we could lay on our bed in comfort and ...

We chose this cruise for the pre-sail excursions to St. Malo and Mont St. Michel as well as excursions in Rouen and Giverny. From the start, we felt valued as consumers -- which has not been our experience with another highly (over) rated river cruise company. Avalon provided the air and transfers. When we arrived in Paris, our transport was waiting, leaving no room for anxiety of how to ...

Always wanted to visit Monet’s garden and the Normandy landing beaches. Lovely crew very efficient Cruise manager, good food. I do prefer the Viking light wood everywhere and Scandinavian design but the Tapestry 2 (dark wood everywhere) very comfortable. The excursions were all very good and well organised. Not too much entertainment or lectures on where you are going on either Avalon or Viking. ...

Very welcoming staff, made our cruise truly memorable! Food was amazing, with so many choices for the buffet breakfast, with omelet station and also some made to order menu choices. Lunch was also buffet style with pasta & carving stations, with some local dishes. Dinner was fine dining without a doubt, with a la carte menu that changed daily, showcasing some local specialty, but always include ...

We would do another Avalon river cruise in a heartbeat! It was worth every penny we spent- great value. As my part of my bucket list, I wanted to go on a tour of World War I & II battlefield sites in France. With the world open again, after the pandemic, our travel agent showed us this Avalon Waterways Seine River cruise. We selected it because it included a wide variety of tour options for ...

We included a 3-day land tour to Saint-Malo and Mont Ste Michel. Ste Michel was the reason we booked this cruise. It was on our bucket list. Some tours were too long. Meals and service on board were wonderful. Most tour guides were great. Cruise director was informative and kept us entertained. We lucked out with the weather. After a rainy first day in St-Malo, the sun came out ...

I had a previous cruise on Avalon and was so happy with every detail. I’ve wanted to go to Normandy for a long time and was thrilled with the details of this trip. This trip was better than I could have imagined. Every detail was taken care of from getting us from the airport to the ship, then from the ship to the Eurostar train, from the station to our hotel in London and at the end to ...
