Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Tranquility II

While everything with Avalon Cruises are top notch, be prepared for non-stop activity and not getting much rest and relaxation on this cruise. It was still a blast, however we would have liked to go on our own and explore the cities by ourselves. Not in all cases, but in most. That would have required more research and planning on our parts, and we just didn't do it. We did see cities where we ...

My husband and I and another couple sailed on this trip for our anniversaries. Unfortunately my luggage did not make it to our destination. As soon as I arrived on the ship, I advised the cruise director and he immediately started to track it down. Only had the clothes I traveled in but luckily the airline gave me a t-shirt so I could alternate tops until we got to a port where I could shop. I ...

The staff on board the ship were all extremely courteous and friendly. The ship was spotless and well organized. Every request was met with kindness and efficiency. The food selection was wonderful, with plenty of variety, and accommodated special dietary needs. Our stateroom contained a fridge which met medication needs. Each request at every meal was fulfilled quickly and easily. Our cruise ...

We are UK residents and live about 30 miles from London. We wanted a 7-day cruise with not too far to travel, so went for 7-days Paris to Normandy & return to Paris. Used Avalon last year on the Rhine and it was great. We travelled by air then, not our favourite these days but it was good from Heathrow to Zurich and return. This year we opted for Eurostar as our only previous ...

After sailing on the Siene on Avalon Creativity we couldn't wait to get back on board. The staff again, from the captain down were friendly and helpful, even Ingrid on reception printed off our boarding cards for our return journey home. The excursions and guides are very good and well organised by the Cruise Director. Excursions start around 8.30am returning for lunch at 12 noon, again ...

We loved our first river cruise. Our stateroom was spacious and we loved the comfortable chairs and table overlooking the river as well as the river facing bed. I hadn't expected as much cruising at night but it was fine. We could not fault the hospitality of the crew, the focus on cleanliness whenever we arrived from outside the ship as well as on entering the restaurant. We loved the meals and ...

I sailed on Avalon’s Romantic Rhine cruise from Basel to Amsterdam in June 2017. Everything was top notch from start to finish. I was treated like royalty the whole time. The entire crew was phenomenal - from initial check in at the hotel in Zurich to the final drop off at the airport in Amsterdam, everyone was friendly and helpful. The ship was gorgeous and spotless...the common areas and my ...

The cruise was good overall. I gave it 4 stars, as the food was just OK. We thought that the portions were smaller then expected, certainly any fish being served was minute! Also, having to be in the restaurant at a specific time was very different to the flexibility offered on ocean cruises. The ship was nicely decorated, very comfortable public lounges. Strongly suggest watching for the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was my first foray into cruising. My friend and I didn't think we would like cruises but I wanted to check it off my bucket list. So we chose a cruise that was relatively short so that we wouldn't be "stuck" doing something that didn't meet expectations. Avalon exceeded all my expectations. We were both extremely pleased with everything about the cruise. The cabin was more than large ...
