Avalon delivered in every way. The ship and its crew were exceptional in every way. This was our first cruise and we booked it with friends. Afterwards, a friend who had taken a similar Kristkindelmarkt cruise with Avalon confirmed we had chosen wisely. From the time we arrived in Amsterdam to disembarking in Remich, we enjoyed one of the best vacations we’ve taken. The laid back atmosphere, excellent service and food, and organized friendly excursions made every day pleasurable. Even when an unforeseen issue prevented our ability to visit Cochem, the cruise director and crew quickly and professionally shifted to a day trip to Koblenz. This was a pleasant unplanned city we had never visited. We had so much fun that we're already planning our next cruise for 2024 and are excited to vacation again with Avalon. Amazing service and fun for everyone on the ship. We are hooked! Yeah
