First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was my first river cruise. We began in Paris with a city tour, then embarked from Remich, Germany to cruise the Mosel River, then cruised down the Rhine to Amsterdam. We stopped at many scenic towns, had time to tour, shop, and check out local restaurants. The staff was very professional, the boat was clean, comfortable, and beautiful, and the scenery was amazing. The excursions were fun, ...

We wanted to take a European cruise that saw as many parts of Europe as possible. This didn’t disappoint. We saw many beautiful sites and would highly recommend this cruise. The crew was wonderful. They attended to our every need. KC took exceptional care of us during meals. She laughed with us and was spot on with recommendtions. She worked endless hours and you never knew she was ...

What a fabulous trip! Ship and crew were great. I was disappointed that the top deck was closed for so long as I was planning/hoping to spend most of my time up there. I understand WHY (height of the bridges & locks) but would suggest starting the cruise in Bamberg maybe? The canal from N'berg to Bamberg was less than spectacular. That would allow for more time in the cities which were all ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We wanted to see the architecture in Germany along with the castles on the Rhine river. Every town in Germany on the cruise had its own style, and with nearly 30 castles to view, it was amazing to see. The guides that walked us through each town were locals and very knowledgeable with the town's history. The food was very ...

A Danube River cruise was on our bucket list, Avalon provided the perfect itinerary, and did not disappoint. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. All staff members were courteous and knowledgeable. Our cruise director Niko was one of the best we have ever had. He thoroughly explained what we could expect each day, patiently answered all questions, and never tried to "sell" an ...

The Avalon Visionary is much nicer than other ships to which we had access due to the double and sometimes triple docking at ports along the way. The clean, Scandinavian aesthetics most evident in the salon were reminiscent of a large living room compared to the overly decorated, glam interiors of the other ships. The crew was delightful, the cruise director capable and the excursions and ...

The noise level

The ship was unbearably noisy in the dining room and the large lounge. So much so that a conversation could not be had. And yes the Captain knows this and agrees something needs to done to rectify the problem. Cabin was great, love the French doors. Dining was good, food not exceptional. Noise level spoiled the dining experience. Entertainment was very good, But, again, the noise level ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Our retirement trip on Avalon's Eastern European River Cruise was perfect in every way!! I loved the intimate size of the vessel and the fact that there were only 107 passengers on board. The staff, meals, entertainment and accommodations were first rate, being foodies we loved each meal and the presentation was top notch. Stops each day were pleasant with a tour of the town with a small ...

Never been on a river cruise and we wanted to see things we hadn’t seen with a minimal schedule. The staff was top notch——-knowledgeable, service-oriented, pleasant, polite—-just the best imaginable and those adjectives apply to the cabin attendants to the cruise director. The cabin was as roomy as two people would need, clean and well-stocked with the usual amenities. Our cabin Was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This cruise had a great variety of large cities and small towns and 4 countries to visit. The High speed train ride to Paris was what clinched it for me. The cruise went like clockwork. Avalon took care of everything. Our cruise director Mark was superb. He was extremely thorough, smart, and had great sense of humor. He is also fluent in 6 different languages. The crew was mostly young. They ...
