We chose this cruise because it covered many of the places in Europe that we wanted to see. It is also great that our hotel room traveled with us from place to place. The Tour guides were all excellent and so knowledgeable. Some of them pointed out things they thought the other tour guides might not mention. There was always a great selection of food for Breakfast, lunch and Dinner. The ...

This was our first river cruise, we chose Avalon, because of their windows and views, we have came across a lot of other boats during this river cruise, and all of them had very little windows so very little views. I am looking forward to numerous trips with Avalon all over the world. Staff was spectacular. Food was the best I’ve ever had, I have nothing bad to say about Avalon can’t wait to go on ...

This was our first river cruise and it was amazing!! The service was 5 star. Food was yummy and many options, even for someone who is picky like me. We had several minor bumps along the road, and Avalon corrected them before anyone could even ask. Their customer service was spectacular. We liked that there were several different walking speeds for each tour… from brisk to gentle walkers. The ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because we have friends that had already signed up. We had always wanted to do a river cruise and were unfamiliar with Avalon. However, we found Avalon to be an excellent river cruise company. They had very good communication and were definitely focused on safety. One nice feature was their GoAvalon app on our phones that helped keep us up to date on the itinerary. We had ...

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 ...

Went on a Fall Rhine River cruise that started in Amsterdam and ended in Basel. It was a fantastic experience. Stopped at many interesting ports where we saw and experienced so much. You definitely aren't bored as there are so many stops and excursions planned. Wouldn't call this a relaxing vacation, as we were exhausted afterwards, but we didn't expect that either. We knew we would be ...

Long journey from New Zealand, with High expectations of Avalon from Travel Agents. Fresh Food didn't arrive before leaving Amsterdam so meals were often AVERAGE. we are not that fussy, but compared to other trips ....food was not up to standard. Our Ship was switched to Avalon Artistry 2, at the last minute...with no explanation why. Purchased top deck for better views, but told ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

What a great cruise. We went on the Rhine and Moselle cruise. Our first time on a river cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. We felt our cabin had plenty of space for us and our luggage. It was a very comfortable space. A minor nit was the toilet. The flush was really loud and could be startling in the middle of the night. As well, sometimes we had to press the flush button repeatedly ...

Nothing special

We just felt processed the whole time. Very little done to make the experience on board fun or special. There was basically no entertainment except a single pianist who occasionally acted as a sort of DJ for those wanting to dance. Choice of only one lounge with a bar after dinner or your cabin, that was it. We got one guest singer who was really bad and a single rock 'n roll singer for one hour. ...

I have always wanted to see the tulip fields of Holland in bloom so for our 40th anniversary we chose this cruise. It was even better that we had hoped. We loved the cabin and waking up each morning watching the sites go by even before we got out of bed! It was also nice having a choice if included excursions at each port. Everything was so well organized and the port talks during cocktail hour ...
