We wanted a springtime tulip cruise and this was it. We had not been on a river cruise before and enjoyed the experience immensely. The food was excellent and the accommodations were very nice. We enjoyed all of the side trips and liked that many of them were included. We have been asked by many of our friends how it compares to the large ship ocean cruises we have been on. It is like comparing ...

Christmas Markets recommended by friends. First river cruise, will not be our last. Every aspect of the cruise could not have been better. Ship was great, cabin was very nice, plenty of room and lay out of the bed was well planned. Food was always very good, service was excellent, crew was great and Cruise Director was fantastic. The shore excursions were well done and the guides provided were ...

This Christmas Markets tour was exactly what we were looking for. It was cold, but we were prepared for that. Walking, enjoying the cities and towns decorated beautifully. The Christmas markets were full of food and craft vendors and most cities had several markets that we were able to visit on our own, so we could walk at our own pace, shop and enjoy the atmosphere. Lots of free time in multiple ...

We wanted to enjoy the Christmas markets, and the idea of a river cruise really appealed. Sights and smells at the Christmas markets were amazing. Be sure to try the Gluhwein --with or without alcohol. The weather was cold, but if you dress for it, you will be fine. The towns we stopped at along the Danube were beautiful and fascinating, each with its own history and charm. One very cold day, ...

This was our first river cruise. We have been on multiple ocean cruises and have heard great things about river cruising. We chose this cruise as Christmas is my favorite time of year and I love decorating at home. Avalon has beautiful ships. Our room was on the top floor, which really is only half a staircase form the lobby. Plenty of room for the week. Not as large as ocean ships but very nice. ...

We initially chose this cruise for the excellent pricing. This was our first river cruise but had done numerous ocean cruises. We loved the more intimate atmosphere of the smaller boat. We appreciated the way the excursions were mostly included and the fact that they were timed to bring you back to the boat for lunch or a quick rest stop before the afternoon excursion. All of the stops were ...

We wanted to do a Christmas Market cruise and chose the one on the Danube so that we could visit Vienna. We had a great time. Prior to embarking we spent time in Prague exploring the city. Our ship was decorated in Christmas colors. Our cabin was on the third deck and was beautiful. The food was great and our cruise director was friendly, entertaining and helpful. The entertainment and ...

Second sailing with Avalon and it lived up to the first. I LOVE Avalon and the way they take care of you. Great food, plenty of wine, wonderful cabin and bathroom, and the best cruise directors ever! We sailed from Budapest to Prague and the sights were incredible...want to go back to Vienna, Nuremburg and was so surprised how much I enjoyed Prague at the end when we stayed over there. Nancy ...

My brother took care of the booking. He did much research on the Tour line as to cost, time of year and experiences offered and the decision to go with Avalon was made. As far as my wife and I are concerned it was truly a great decision! We had options as to the Fall Wine Tour or the Christmas Market Cruise. The Danube Wine Cruise was selected. It was the first cruise for my wife and me. We ...
