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 ...

This was my first trip abroad, and it could not have gone better. The crew, the cruise director and the experiences were exceptional! Tony did a wonderful job organizing all he excursions. The app worked beautifully and kept me informed. The crew was so friendly and helpful. They did a tremendous job making sure I was comfortable and cared for. The onboard entertainment was fun and ...

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 ...

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 ...

We has and outstanding cruise director by the name of Gayle. She went above and beyond to keep everything moving and organized. Other than testing positive for COVID when we got home. Had a good trip. The food was excellent but if I would fix one thing it would be the menu. With 90 percent of the passengers being from the USA they had to much food for breakfast that the Europeans like ...

This was our first river cruise (we've taken many ocean cruises). We (my husband & I) traveled with another couple. We chose Avalon, and this particular itinerary, because we had friends who had sailed with them about a year and a half ago (yes, fall of 2021) and recommended it. I also did my research and chose Avalon because of the various excursion choices that are included in the cost of ...

We had never been to Europe but decided before COVID that our first trip would be a river cruise. We chose Avalon because it seemed to include everything that we wanted in a vacation, including a great choice of excursions, plus additional options. The fact that we could add three days in London was a bonus. Our expectations were exceeded. The entire trip, from arrival in Paris to departure in ...
