Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Vista

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
Our travel companions picked Avalon and we said we'd try it though we have cruised with Viking twice. The Panorama stateroom was fabulous - comfortable, and updated; the bathroom was roomy. 99% of the staff was excellent. My big bone of contention was getting in touch with anyone from Avalon the company when we had an issue at the hotel in Amsterdam (luckily, I had printed the paperwork) and ...

Having done quite a few ocean cruises this was our first ever experience of a river trip.
Initially Avalon made an absolute hash of our flights and eventually got us to the ship after midnight. As we missed that evening’s meal they did offer us some light refreshments in our cabin.
The cabin itself was excellent with panoramic windows and good facilities. It was quiet with no discernable ...

We had a wonderful time with Ama Waterways for my wife's 50th. birthday going from Budapest to Nuremberg, so thought we would try a river cruise again, this time with Avalon Waterways for her 60th. from Amsterdam to Basel.
The best thing about this cruise was the food - when we travelled with AMA previously, the food was somewhat bland, but, other than the last night when presumably the chef ...

We took the Avalon Danube River Cruise last year and enjoyed it so much, we decided to take a second Avalon River Cruise. While we enjoyed the Rhine Cruise, we felt the on shore excursions were better on the Danube than the Rhine
It seemed there were less attractions/activities on the Rhine vs Danube, which was disappointing
Service crew were often stingy with wine service and bread and ...

We have enjoyed a number of ocean cruises on various cruise lines and were ready to try a river cruise. The appeal of a small upscale ship, docking right in the city was alluring. Our vision was interrupted by reality. When we arrived we were told that the water levels were too low and we would be boarding a different ship in a few days. This was not their fault and the ship was identical, but it ...

We had never been on a river cruise and since "Travel With Alan" offered a special, we thought we'd try river cruising. First we were notified that the ship could not make it into Amsterdam due to low water so we'd stay in a hotel for 2 days and bus into Cologne. Since it was only a 3 hour bus ride, we thought ok, no problem. The hotel was called The Room Mate. Upon arrival we were to be ...

The ship is new and beautiful and clean with nice bathrooms and very comfortable beds. The staff was excellent and the food very good. My problem is with the excursions and with labeling the river as the "Romantic Rhine." The river is dirty, polluted, and for the most part completely non-descript save for the numerous industrial complexes that you pass along the way, interrupted only by thousands ...

Before departing I had been warned about the noise in rear cabins so I contacted my travel agent to upgrade without success. I also emailed Globus (the parent company() re my concerns. I was assured that as the Impression was their newest ship this would not be a problem. After the noise of the first night I contacted the reception desk - their solution was to give me ear plugs. The noise was bad ...

Lovely ship, our cabin fantastic, great food, very friendly staff (mostly), scenery on Rhine and Moselle Rivers excellent. For elderly people with mobility issues or people like me on crutches after a knee operation, this may not be the cruise for you. The vast majority of passengers on this cruise were aged from 60 to 80. Thankfully most were fairly mobile because many of the shore tours were ...

Having been only on the larger cruise lines this was my first time on a smaller River Cruise trip. I wanted the smaller more intimate ship and was looking forward to sailing into smaller ports which the larger ships cannot necessarily visit. While I have no other River Cruise line to compare to, Avalon left me with the overall impression that it provides a comfortable journey (beds were good and ...
