Avalon Waterways Avalon View Cruise Reviews

Well right from the tome we arrived at the airport in Munich from the time we departed from Budapest its hospitality at its best. The whole crew of Avolon View was amazing from the cruise director Catorine from the hotel management incharge Thomas and his whole crew especially Ali who is a gem of a person and he should be promoted to guest relationship manager he's really great at what he does ...

This is a cruise we've were quite excited about, and overall it lived up to expectations. Such diverse history, culture, and scenery and as you move up the Danube. Major props to the captain of the Avalon View for navigating waters that approached historical lows. We made it to about 50 miles from Budapest before having to take buses to the city one morning rather than sail there. The boat was ...

We had a great time, we met interesting people both on the cruise and on the excursions. The guides made time for questions, added interest with personal stories and experiences. Yes, the communist era, made some disappointing architecture and left behind people full of life striking out to make a better country. After a full day of events, the vessel was a great welcome and the staff helped ...

Ship, room, food, tours, ports, and staff were all excellent. I really enjoyed the wine tasting. The lady who did it was funny and knowledgeable. The beer tasting was good but I’m not a beet drinker so it didn’t appeal to me as much. Food was always excellent and abundant. Tour director, Tomas, was excellent. Staff were friendly, efficient, engaging, and it fun to get to know them. The ship was ...

Cruising the Danube has been on top of my travel wish list for quite some time, based on history, architecture, food and many other considerations. The Avalon Cruise Director was world class, the beds and linens were quite comfy and high quality, the itinerary and excursions were interesting and executed flawlessly and the chef presented many dishes combining flavors and textures which expanded ...

We took a Rhine cruise in 2018 with Avalon. We had this cruise scheduled for 2020 but Covid cancelled it. So this was a makeup cruise. What a wonderful experience. The new boat was great. The food was to die for. Everything Avalon does makes you feel special. The crew from the director on down was magnificent. Everyone was always smiling and really made you feel welcome. We got to ...

From the moment our bags were taken from us on the dock until we disembarked, it was one of the best experience of our lives. Every Avalon employee were friendly and smiling all the time. Beautiful ship and the room was perfect. It had a lot of room, and plenty of storage. We really liked that there was a small loveseat and chair with a small table between. In addition it had a desk chair. The bed ...

The layout of the Avalon rooms is unique with the bed facing a wall of panoramic windows. Looking at all of the other cruise lines as we traveled, Avalon was fresh, modern and well-kept. The local excursions were led by guides living in the area who brought history to life, personable and fun. The food and wine was tailored daily to reflect the local cuisine tor the country being visited. The ...

The trip itinerary and pace was wonderful. The daily excursions with knowledgeable local guides were educational and inspiring. The ships staff was friendly and always ready to serve us. They were a great team. The food was the most delicious we have ever eaten on a cruise. We enjoyed the 24/7 hot chocolate, water, and sweets. The morning exercises and a walk to a mountaintop monastery led by ...

The cruise was our second river cruise and booked last minute. We chose the Danube eastbound. This river cruise seemed an interesting option due to the variety of visits and activities on offer. Avalon also offered customers the option of making their own travel arrangements to get to the boat which was useful for the many thousands of us with vouchers. The app provided up to date information. ...
