My wife's grandparents were from Amsterdam and it was a trip she thought would be enjoyable. As it turned out it was way better than that. The cruise was perfect from the basic(fabulous) food service to trips off the boat all was well orchestrated too perfection. I can't say enough about the wonderful and helpful staff from the cruise director to the Captain and especially the dining staff and ...

This cruise was magical on the Avalon Panorama, thanks to the wonderful, attentive crew, especially our tour director, István. Passengers were mostly Americans and Australians/New Zealanders in their 60s or later. The daily included tours were usually morning gentle walking tours of the cities within a small radius of where the ship was docked. Optional included hikes up hill to local castles were ...

We had friends that had taken the same cruise on Avalon and another cruise line. We heard so many great things about it that we thought we would try it. We were not disappointed. 3 days in Budapest, 7 days on the ship with all the stops along the way and 3 days in Prague led to a fantastic experience. Tour director, Tony, was outstanding as well as the entire crew. Friendly, helpful and extremely ...

I had traveled with two other couples who have cruised on other riverboat lines and hands down said that Avalon was a cut above the others. I have to say that the staff/crew of the Panama were so great and fun to be around. Service, attention and the food was what we had expected. The guides were upbeat and so knowledgable it was a pleasure. The bed the first night was too soft and within a ...

I traveled with Globus to South America in 2000 and was impressed with the experience. Also I had many recommendations from friends and associates on the Avalon experience. The airfare was a bargain. Accommodations before and after the cruise were excellent as were the transfers to and from the ship. Being a diabetic, I was used to eating earlier than the 7 pm sitting but managed to adjust ...

We wanted something special to celebrate our 50th Anniversary and wanted to visit places in Europe that we hadn't visited before. This itinerary was the perfect choice - especially ending in Prague, only 50 miles from where my husband's ancestors lived! The Avalon crew went out of their way to make our trip special including an anniversary dinner with 8 new friends that included champagne and a ...

For the most part, the cruise itself was spectacular. As ever, there were a few things that could've been improved. We chose the cruise because some friends had done the same cruise the year before and raved about it. We spent a couple of days in Budapest before we began the cruise and loved the city. Our cabin was a bit on the small side. We had a cabin on the lower deck. The meals ...

Cruise chosen for the itinerary, the ship, the cost, and the exploration opportunities offered. Everything about the ship itself was outstanding - all members of the crew were polite, helpful, and respectful. The amenities were enjoyable and the food was always good. The choices regarding meals were fantastic, and the settings were all pleasant. Everything went smoothly. It was the trip of a ...

We arrived in Budapest a couple of days ahead and had a great time exploring the city prior to boarding the Avalon Panorama. Embarkation was done with a minimum of fuss and our luggage was placed in our suite which although compact was well appointed and provided you lived in a tidy manner the suite provided enough room to move without tripping over each other, a noteworthy point is that the ...
