1-10 of 103 Avalon Waterways Avalon Vista Cruise Reviews
Our travel agent suggested Avalon to us. It was our first cruise as we had never had any interest in an ocean cruise. We stayed two nights in Zurich precruise and one night in Amsterdam at the end. We had the pre and post hotel rooms booked through Avalon. Transfers were included except the last one back to the airport in Amsterdam.
We were booked at the Raddison Blue at Zurich airport and ...

This was the perfect first time cruise for us! We celebrated 50th Anniversaries with our friends! We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary that Avalon chose for us to enjoy the Rhine River. They covered every detail which made every day a great experience. We were thankful Avalon considered all details of keeping the cruising community safe with accessible hand sanitizing stations and a ...
We chose this cruise specifically for traveling through Germany, our favorite food stop was Cologne, great sidewalk restaurants and cold beer, plenty to see very close to where the boat docked. The food quality and choices were beyond what we expected. The rooms were very nice and accommodating. Particularly enjoyed being able to open up the sliding doors and take in the view while sailing. A wide ...
We chose this cruise as a high school graduation present for our son who took German all four years. What a great way to visit 4 coutries at one time! This was a great way to dip our toe into international travel as Avalon was with us every step of the way. The excursions were lovely and the staff we fantastic. Our room was located right next to the engine room so next time I will definitely look ...
This was our first time doing a river cruise and it was amazing. We really loved that the ship was so small. The crew went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The excursions were planned very well with tour guides that truly loved showing off these beautiful cities. The meals were all top notch and we loved that the lunch buffet and bistro dinners had healthy and small portions. ...
We chose this tour because Avalon Waterways waived the vaccine requirement in November 2023 and we wanted to cruise the Rhine for the first time. One of our party of four did not get the covid vaccine. The cruise was wonderful. The staff was exceptional and completely met our needs. The food was great and featured many local cuisine specialties that we enjoyed. The free happy hour every day ...
In comparison to Uniworld or Ama our cruise didn't sparkle - it was good but not special. Staff did their jobs but for the most part that is all they did - no real sense of a 'can do' hospitality vibe. Food was good but not memorable. Breakfast buffets offered numerous options but were basically the same each morning. Lunches offered three choices each day with the option for a burger or ...
After having done more than 20 ocean cruises we decided to try a river cruise. We weren’t sure we would like the small boat without all the activities available on ocean vessels. I now think I prefer the river cruise experience in many ways. It was so calming watching the scenery go by as you cruised down the river and went through the locks. That was endless entertainment. The small number of ...
Our travel companions picked Avalon and we said we'd try it though we have cruised with Viking twice. The Panorama stateroom was fabulous - comfortable, and updated; the bathroom was roomy. 99% of the staff was excellent. My big bone of contention was getting in touch with anyone from Avalon the company when we had an issue at the hotel in Amsterdam (luckily, I had printed the paperwork) and ...
This was a trip that had been postponed for three years due to Covid, so we were excited to finally set sail down the Rhine. Pre-embarkation communication was chaotic and disorganized, leading to some stressful moments, but that smoothed out as we got underway. We were in Amsterdam at the peak time for Keukenhof Gardens, when they have their annual Flower Parade, so visiting the park was one of ...
