Wanted to travel the Danube for it's great itinerary and finish with 3 great capitals of their respective countries - ie build up to the best! Weather was spectacular - we were very lucky as this time of year it had predicted a lot of rain which we didn't get thank goodness. This ship is excellent, modern, thoughtful design with great amenities and superb helpful and friendly staff. The ...

We booked late for a River Cruise with Avalon, leaving Vilshofen on October 24th. We flew to Munich, then made our own transfer arrangements to the boat, the Envision. It was a first river cruise for us & once on the boat, it was sheer luxury! From the moment we stepped out of our taxi and were told to leave our cases for the crew, this set the tone for the whole trip. The staff, the ...

Two seniors from Phoenix in response to a bucket list item - never taken a river cruise before. Arrived 1 night prior to boarding after a frustrating flight experience. On boarding day Tu 10-24 arrived at the dock, met by an Avalon person on the sidewalk to help with luggage, checked it in and left for the Rijksmuseum to await cabin entry at 4pm. Ship parked at Amsterdam Tuesday night. Wed. ...

This is my second Avalon river cruise and it was amazing. The crew in every department we interacted with were friendly and showed a genuine interest in making our trip a great experience. The food was delicious, plentiful and presented beautifully. The service team was very observant of our dietary needs and kept our glasses full. There are beverage available day and night and you will ...

As we were celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary, we started thinking about taking a trip. We got together with two other couples and as one person did not want to do an ocean cruise, we started researching river cruises. We found that Avalon had great reviews and we decided to take a chance and book the trip. We took two years to plan/pay for our cruise and it was really nice that we had ...

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 never been on a cruise of any kind before. My husband wasn’t fond of going on a sea cruise so we opted last minute for this river cruise with Avalon, one of the best decisions we’ve made in many years as it turned out! We were impressed with the customer focussed organisation and service provided by Avalon and its members of staff. To achieve such seamlessness indicates that this ...

We booked this river cruise one month out for October. Not sure we would even be able to get a room. Our travel agent (Affordable Tours) found us one on the Avalon line. We had room and worried that it was not a good spot, being as it was the first one). It turned out to be a great location. Next to the main lobby and restaurants. He had us go a week later for a great cruise rate. The ...
