Initially I was in contact with the agent and gave her some basic general ideas of what we would like and she came up with this one which included a variety of activities to suit different needs within our small family group. The ship far exceeded our expectations (which I thought were high anyway!) and all the activities were very well arranged and facilitated. The weather was not too good ...

We had an absolutely great time on our Avalon Riverboat Cruise! Everyone, every single staff member on the Tranquillity II (June 21-28) was amazing! Their customer service was impeccable, sincere and timely! Will definitely be booking again! We would highly recommend Avalon Waterways to our friends and family. We went from Amsterdam to Middleburg to Ghent to Brussels to Antwerp to Rotterdam and ...

We went on an Avalon river cruise, the Rhine and Rhone revealed for 14 days. We were on 2 ships during the trip, the Expression on the Rhine and Poetry II on the Rhone. We had Avalon handle everything to do with the trip including flights and transfers. Our only extras were some minor bar tabs, special excursions and laundry service. We have traveled many times and have always done everything ...

We chose this cruise as a high school graduation present for our son who took German all four years. What a great way to visit 4 coutries at one time! This was a great way to dip our toe into international travel as Avalon was with us every step of the way. The excursions were lovely and the staff we fantastic. Our room was located right next to the engine room so next time I will definitely look ...

We chose this tour because Avalon Waterways waived the vaccine requirement in November 2023 and we wanted to cruise the Rhine for the first time. One of our party of four did not get the covid vaccine. The cruise was wonderful. The staff was exceptional and completely met our needs. The food was great and featured many local cuisine specialties that we enjoyed. The free happy hour every day ...

This was our first time doing a river cruise and it was amazing. We really loved that the ship was so small. The crew went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The excursions were planned very well with tour guides that truly loved showing off these beautiful cities. The meals were all top notch and we loved that the lunch buffet and bistro dinners had healthy and small portions. ...

Avalon was amazing! All of the staff from housekeeping to our cruise director were personal, and got to know us. The kitchen staff took extra time to meet special dietary needs of 2 members of our traveling group. We can not possibly describe how delicious our meals were, all of them! We loved that we got to try local cuisine right in board our ship. Our cruise director Tony was so incredibly fun! ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

As this was to be our first ever river cruise we did our homework and read various reviews and recommendations from multiple sites. Avalon Waterways always was ranked very highly and except for a few not so positive reviews, which usually dealt with low river levels, we now know why from first hand experiences. From the day we boarded all the staff could not have been more pleasant and willing to ...

Crew 5 stars! The Vista ship itself sadly would only give it 2 or 3 stars at best

Let me just say the crew deserves 6 stars, they were all phenomenal! Buffet breakfasts and lunches were terrific, omelet maker Ridho I believe his name was had the best smile everyone morning and was a pure joy to be around. He literally made my day start off on the best note and I would gladly sail on the Avalon Vista again if I knew he was going to still be there, he was that great! By the ...
