We chose this Avalon cruise because of the port stops and adventure excursions. There were many excursions to choose from to satisfy everyones’ interests.
The Avalon staff were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Helmut had informative port talks and was very helpful if you had a question about other possible places of interest to visit while at port.
The dining room wait staff made the ...
The ship, itinerary, staff, drink variety, and cleanliness were all great.
The wifi quality and access needs improving. The shore excursions weren't always clearly or accurately described, especially with respect to key sights to be seen, and the terrain and level of exertion required (we had a couple of tough hikes that some guests definitely should not have been on). Entertainment was a bit ...
We chose this cruise because we really wanted to see Prague and Budapest. Avalon had really good reviews and we are so happy that we booked this one.
The ship was great. Of course the food was excellent, staff were great, and yoga in the morning was fantastic. Doing yoga with views of castles or cathedrals and the river, was lovely.
We went with a lower cabin to save some money, and for us ...
Scenic provide good value if you are looking for average and you’re travelling on a budget. If you’re looking for quality and pay for a premium- it’s disappointing. The notion of quality premium wines is a joke. As for food - it was mixed - we had to jump on the Scenic Ruby after flooding on the Danube and their food was excellent. The food on the Scenic Crystal was not good - 5 meals were ...
Emerald is PHENOMENAL! They go above and beyond in service with a smile! We lucked into wonderful (warm) weather our whole trip.
Our Cruise Director Patricia and Activity Director Noel were very easy to work with and kept us all in great spirits throughout the entire trip. The excursions and guided tours were very informative and all the guides were knowledgeable and friendly! There was ...
We have travelled with Scenic on five occasions now and never been disappointed. The level of attention they apply before, during and after the cruise is outstanding. From pre-cruise accommodation to airport transfers to baggage management, to reception, to extremely attentive, but fuss free staff - nothing but ticks. We splashed out on a Royal Panorama Suite - right at the back of the ship and it ...
The cruise was a fantastic way to explore Austria, Hungary, Germany, and Slovakia in complete comfort. The crew was very polite, knowledgeable, and organized. I enjoyed the relatively small amount of people on board, and everybody felt personable. The ship was extremely clean and sanitary. The food was of the utmost quality and completely exceeded my expectations. Excursions were interesting and ...
A trip on the Danube was on our bucket list, so we decided to go ahead and book a River Cruise this year.
We've been on an Avalon Waterways cruise before, so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Everything is included in the price which we liked, and the ship and cabins are spotlessly clean. The staff can't do enough for you to make your stay special and are very friendly. You are greted by ...
This cruise was our second on Avalon. The first was the Rhine which was spectacular- both industrial and the beauty of the castles along the Rhine. This cruise was more culture in nature and did not disappoint. The activities are diverse enough for everyone’s palate. However, what is outstanding is the service that you get on board. We are new to river cruising - but not ocean cruising. This is ...
The whole process was from booking to travel to sailing was easy and problem free. When I had questions I used the live chat and it worked great. Hotel in Prague before sailing was very nice as well as the hotel in Paris at the end of our trip.
The onboard experience - I loved it!! The excursions were well planned. We had great guides.
The staff was top notch. The meals were 5 star. The ...
