Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Tapestry II

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
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 ...

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
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 ...

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Poetry II

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
Friends were already booked on it, and so we elected to join them! I had always fancied a river cruise, as opposed to an ocean cruise, and particularly wanted to do this Saone- Rhône one.
I thought it was very good value for money, as there were several excursions included, and also drinks with meals.
I throughly enjoyed it, as I adore France, so I was in heaven, visiting so many beautiful ...

We had done Amsterdam to Basel in 2018, and Paris-Normandy-Paris in 2019. This was our third cruise, and in our opinion, the best so far. Poetry II was immaculate and the crew and staff were friendly, competent, courteous and professional. As usual, the food was superb with excellent wine accompaniments. The daily "happy hour" is the best idea yet! We haven't decided where next year's cruise will ...

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 ...
