We booked this river cruise one month out for October. Not sure we would even be able to get a room. Our travel agent (Affordable Tours) found us one on the Avalon line. We had room and worried that it was not a good spot, being as it was the first one). It turned out to be a great location. Next to the main lobby and restaurants. He had us go a week later for a great cruise rate. The ...

The cruise was a fantastic way to explore Austria, Hungary, Germany, and Slovakia in complete comfort. The crew was very polite, knowledgeable, and organized. I enjoyed the relatively small amount of people on board, and everybody felt personable. The ship was extremely clean and sanitary. The food was of the utmost quality and completely exceeded my expectations. Excursions were interesting and ...

A trip on the Danube was on our bucket list, so we decided to go ahead and book a River Cruise this year. We've been on an Avalon Waterways cruise before, so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Everything is included in the price which we liked, and the ship and cabins are spotlessly clean. The staff can't do enough for you to make your stay special and are very friendly. You are greted by ...

We were looking for an add on to our Croatia road tour and we wanted something that we could relax and enjoy after some hectic days on the road. This cruise did not disappoint! You are treated first class. Everyone is there to make sure you have a wonderful time. The staterooms are a good size, very roomy for a boat. You can unpack, put your suitcases away, and just let the crew take care of ...

The ship is beautiful and so well kept. We never felt like it was too crowded or noisy, even when the Panorama lounge was full. There is a small, quieter lounge on the upper level with coffee, tea, flavored water and snacks. The upper deck has plenty of seating for all who want to spend time in the open. Our cabin was on the lowest level, and it was comfortable with a big window that gave us a ...

I selected this Cruise company because it fit our plan to see the Oberammergua Passion Play with a Danube River Cruise. This was our 3rd river cruise. The pre-trip was TERRIBLE. The cruise was DELIGHTFUL. One of the Reservation clerks was extremely rude to me. Our travel agent called the office and was put on HOLD every time for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours before getting to talk to the ...

This was not our first river cruise in Europe. We looked a cruise that hit the places we wanted to visit at the times we wanted to go. There were several options to choose from. We then looked for a smaller boat with fewer passengers and larger staterooms. Avalon fit the bill. The front and and back end of the tour included stays in 4 star hotels in Budapest and Bucharest, The hotels were ...

We chose this cruise because we had never been to the previous communist countries.or cruise included a tour everyday that were very informative and interesting. The guides spoke excellent English.

Dinner was served off a ...
