Our first river cruise after many big sea cruises, and it was fantastic! Avalon did everything top notch. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to make sure that everything was great. Floating down the river was so relaxing and the scenery was beautiful.
Our cabin was on the top floor and the view from it was great, especially from the bed facing the window ...
There were high expectations for this cruise. We do not get to take very many vacations together as a married couple, especially as we are working and our schedules do not align very often. So, much emphasis was placed on maximizing our time. We had take the Avalon cruise of the Rhine River in 2018, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an "active cruise" and also introductory - which meant that ...
We were looking for a Provence experience and Avalon delivered. First Avalon sets the standard for top. Held cruise experiences. The rooms, the staff and crew are so attentive. They made us feel so very special . The food, entertainment and excursions were all excellent. We gained so much information about all the places we visited.
The special Avalon service started at the airport where they ...
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 ...
My father fought in the Battle of the Bulge during WW2. I was interested in history of Belgium as well as a river cruise..unlimited.. food, liquor, friends,
Didn't know about availability of Avalon tour to Bastogne. Found out about it when I returned.... disappointed.
Really liked Walonia.... history of region. Not so much Amsterdam. Weather was fine. We got what we paid for.
Wanted ...
I chose this cruise because thirteen friends and family were going on cruise. Unfortunately, I was the only one who made it. Two got covid, and the others cancelled because cruise was shortened to four nights, due to strikes in France. I was already in Paris so I decided to take the abbreviated cruise.
I can't really call it much of a cruise as we only spent two days actually cruising and ...
My wife and I were really keen to try river cruising as had never considered that type of holiday previously. We love our European city breaks and this seemed an excellent way to see several cities and places of interest without the need for multiple flights. Plus the Romantic Rhine covers 4 countries which is a great bonus. Am now absolutely hooked on river cruising as the best way to travel! ...
We chose Avalon Panorama for our first ever river cruise. We flew from the UK to Basel, stayed the night before in St Louis & joined the ship next day. The staff were super friendly & within a few minutes of arriving we were told our cabin was ready for us. We unpacked & quickly returned for the lunch being served in the upstairs lounge. We had a very tasty lasagne, a vegetarian rice dish was ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to do a river cruise and to see France up close and personal. We went with Avalon because they are very highly rated and had the perfect itinerary at very attractive fares.
Our package was northbound and included two nights in Nice which was well worth seeing. It can also be done from Paris heading south.
We then transferred to the ship, which was ...
Having visited Germany frequently over the years for both business and pleasure, it had always been a wish of mine to cruise the Rhine and this year my wife and I eventually got the opportunity to do so. A bit of research and price comparisons showed Avalon to be the front runner for us in quite a crowded market, and what a perfect choice it turned out to be! Every aspect of the cruise - ship, ...
