I went on this cruise as part of a travel group of 20. There were some hiccups at the outset due to high water levels on the Rhine. Avalon did an amazing job to make sure their guests were well cared for and accommodated and still provided all the tours. The local guides provided were top notch and the food provided by Avalon delicious and plentiful. The staff worked incredibly hard and ...

This was a Specialty Cruise- Festive Christmas Markets, which are a very important part of the European holiday tradition. This was our first time on Avalon and experiencing the markets. We arrived an extra day early in Amsterdam to be able to see the Van Gogh and Anne Frank Museums. This and the Zans Schans excursion and the 9 streets area, as well as the Winter Festival of Lights Cruise, were so ...

This is my second Avalon river cruise and it was amazing. The crew in every department we interacted with were friendly and showed a genuine interest in making our trip a great experience. The food was delicious, plentiful and presented beautifully. The service team was very observant of our dietary needs and kept our glasses full. There are beverage available day and night and you will ...

We had never been on a cruise of any kind before. My husband wasn’t fond of going on a sea cruise so we opted last minute for this river cruise with Avalon, one of the best decisions we’ve made in many years as it turned out! We were impressed with the customer focussed organisation and service provided by Avalon and its members of staff. To achieve such seamlessness indicates that this ...

Based on our research, firsthand testimonials and travel agent recommendations, we chose Avalon. So, expectations were high. Well, this trip exceeded anything we could have dreamed of. Our trip was packaged with our travel agent through Avalon/Globus. This included the flights, transfers, accommodation (2 nights pre cruise in Prague) and on board gratuities... Avalon rep greeted us at the ...

Avalon does it right! Boat was in excellent condition, crew was fabulous. Adding the Happy hour was an excellent way to start your evening on board. Never had to wait for a drink, the service was impeccable. All meals on board are delicious & service in the dining room is top notch. Seating very comfortable with tables available for two, four ,and a few larger tables for bigger ...

This was our first River Cruise, we could not have picked a better company to travel with. Prior to departure the travel information we received was second to none, on arrival our connections were informative and on arriving at the ship we were welcomed on board by all staff that passed us and introduced to other guests already onboard. Our room was perfect very comfortable and clean ( and ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

This was to be our first river cruise after exclusively going on ocean cruises. We weren't sure if it would be what we are interested in. We chose a shorter cruise (8 days) on a less travelled river to avoid larger crowds. It is a different experience never being out of sight of land and all activities on board occurring at a fixed time. It is also very different travelling with 120 passengers ...

We were about to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and wanted to do something special. Having been on several ocean cruises we deiced a river cruise in France would be a nice option. We couldn't have made a better choice. Avalon handled everything and it was all first rate. The food was exceptional and there were many options to choose from. my wife has a few food sensitivity issues, and they ...

The time of year was the primary choice for us. Also the number of days, on the ship and the fact that it traveled both the Rhine and the Moselle which offers so many different views. The different excursions offered throughout the cruise and the different ports we were stopping at. Having sailed with Avalon before and having been happy with the ship, the crew and Avalon as a whole made the ...
