Review for Avalon View to Europe - River Cruise

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s
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 ...

This was our first River Cruise, though we have done many Ocean Cruises. The ship is very nice, with a cozy feeling. The cabin was great, quite spacious with nice amenities, and the housekeeper keep our room spotless. There are not many lounge areas, just two, but given that this is a River Ship I guess it is to be expected that there are not many areas to hang out. The itinerary was as ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
My partner and I have wanted to do this trip for several years. We had two night stay in Amsterdam prior to the cruise. Unfortunately my partner injured knee several days prior to the trip, so we were grateful for the short ride from the hotel to the ship (it normally would have been an easy walk}. Upon arrival, after check in we were greeted with a welcome reception in the Panorama Lounge. Our ...

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 ...

Review for Avalon Tapestry II to Europe - River Cruise

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
We had never been to Europe but decided before COVID that our first trip would be a river cruise. We chose Avalon because it seemed to include everything that we wanted in a vacation, including a great choice of excursions, plus additional options. The fact that we could add three days in London was a bonus.
Our expectations were exceeded. The entire trip, from arrival in Paris to departure in ...

I wish I could give Avalon's ship, crew, and itinerary 10 stars because it was outstanding in every way. The meals were so beautifully prepared and presented - with all the wine you want from the local region. The entire crew did their job with a smile and couldn't do more for each one of the passengers. The ship was spotless and our beds comfortable. My room attendant, Nemo, brightened my day ...

Review for Avalon Passion to Europe - All
3rd timer
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
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 ...

Had 7-previous AVALON river cruises. They lost my wife's suitcase for FOUR DAYS on their transfer from Paris to Saint Malo. On 2nd day, the tour guide told us they had video of the suitcase being loaded on the bus in Paris and it was probably stolen. On the 3rd day, told us that they think they found it and it should arrive by that evening...It didn't. On the evening of the 4th day, the suitcase ...

Pros: Nice balcony room, comfortable bed, excellent excursions, the lady playing violin was really great and entertaining, too.
Cons:
1) Food. Simply awful and small portions. Some examples: The "welcome aboard" lunch was noodles and hamburger. Reminded me of school lunch - not a good start to an expensive cruise. My wife's main course at the "gala dinner" was sole (fish). Literally ...

First river cruise following a ocean cruise. The river cruise wins hands down. The ship is well staffed, friendly and spotlessly clean.
We received a huge welcome on board and this continued on returning from day trips.
Our state room was perfect and met all our needs. Cleaned daily and nothing was a bother for the cleaning team.
The food- OMG- Beyond amazing. Presentation, taste, ...
