6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We met two other couples in Monaco and traveled together after meeting on a previous sail throughout Tahiti. We selected Avalon because of the stops, the amenities and the reviews of other cruisers. We were not disappointed. We were thrilled with the itinerary, the excursions and the surprise entertainment. We felt Tony, our cruise director, really made an effort to get to know us and extended ...

Avalon Waterways was highly recommended by our travel agent and she was not wrong! We chose this itinerary as we wanted to visit the D-Day beaches but there was so much more to enjoy. We were met by an Avalon rep at the airport in Paris, who transported us to the ship. The ship was docked about a block away from the Eiffel Tower - lovely surprise. We were able to board immediately, check-in, and ...

We started our trip in Zurich, Switzerland and had the day we arrived and part of the next day to explore. We opted to visit Mt. Pilatus on our own which was a great adventure of taking trains, buses, and boats. The views were incredible and really worth seeing. We had a little time to explore Zurich before we left but probably would have enjoyed more. Our embarkation the next day was very ...

This was our 1st River Cruise, with about 12 Ocean Cruises under our belt. It was a completely different vacation than an Ocean Cruise. With less passengers, you have a more personal experience than on bigger ships. The staff was friendly and personable, yet very professional. Every part of our trip was wonderful. The embarkation and disembarkation were quick, efficient and seamless. The food ...

We chose this cruise because of the size of the vessel, small number of passengers, and itinerary. Our cabin was on the top floor, was quite large with a wall of windows - very bright with lovely views most of the time. I was glad we were in the centre of the ship away from the engines during the night and the noise of the locks. It was nice to be docked in the towns and able to to walk or cycle ...

While most people were notified before they left home, we were not, that our cruise would not be sailing as planned. I had no idea the river levels were too low in places until I arrived in Prague for the land portion of the cruise. The theme of this so called river cruise was how many hours can we put you on a bus instead of enjoying your relaxing river cruise? This cruise has been a joke from ...

Wanted to see the sights along the Rhine.I found Amsterdam a great place to visit. Germany is an interesting country. The smoothness in which the cruise ship sailed was great and very relaxing. The way that the excursions were carried out was very organized. The dining experiences were all fantastic. The cabin was better than a regular hotel room and the cleaning staff were there to straighten up ...

Friends had taken a cruise with Avalon on the Danube and told us how much they enjoyed it so we decided to try a trip. We don't like the big cruise ships so this seemed perfect for us. Two other couples went also, including the couple who took the Danube trip. right from the beginning, Avalon did everything they could to make our booking, airline booking and excursions as easy for us as ...

My travel agent recommended Avalon over the other companies. My wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary. The entire cruise experience was great. The food, accommodations, crew, tours, entertainment and services was outstanding. The Seine River cruise was exciting, some of the views were great. Side Excursions with guides was very informative about the history of the site and the overall ...

We began our 15 day, Amsterdam to Budapest-cruise on 8/18/18 on the Avalon Visionary. Due to low water, we had to get off the boat and go to a hotel in Frankfurt fir two night. We then biarded the Avalon Visionary. We were told that in order to “catch a wave “we had to skip Nuremberg. We were okay with all this and Avalon did offer compensation in the way if extra excursions and some ...
