Based on our research, firsthand testimonials and travel agent recommendations, we chose Avalon. So, expectations were high. Well, this trip exceeded anything we could have dreamed of. Our trip was packaged with our travel agent through Avalon/Globus. This included the flights, transfers, accommodation (2 nights pre cruise in Prague) and on board gratuities...

First the Danube River Cruise with Avalon Exceeded our expectations. The crew and accommodations were first class and professional making us feel at home and welcome.
The shore excursion's were not only educational but just the right length so that you have plenty of free time to just explore. The guides all being local offered particular insights to the local history and culture.

We sailed on the 2 night Prague, 7 nights Nuremberg to Luxembourg, 2 night Paris itinerary at the end of September. The ship itself is very comfortable and we had a cabin on the highest deck, which I recommend since it puts you a little higher above the water. Very well put together cabins, excellent free internet service, lovely to turn your entire cabin into a balcony by opening the floor to ...
We love Avalon Waterways, have had great experiences with their ships! Embarking and disembarking smooth as can be, love the way you can place your suitcase at end of cruise for early morning pickup and not midnight like big ships! 2 nights in Prague before boarding the ship was a good start. Cabins have plenty of room, love the full glass sliding doors with bed facing the doors. Dining room ...
From a previous European river cruise, I learned there is no place not worth seeing here thus we couldn't wait to take another. We booked this less than 2 months after returning from our last one. The main reason we choose this particular cruise was we always wanted to visit Paris and some of the other places included.
It was amazing how well organized the entire trip went. One night one of the ...
As recommended by a CAA rep this cruise was very professionally conducted with a lovely ambiance in the cabins, dining rooms, lounges and upper deck. The ship was extremely well maintained and showed fine attention to detail. The environment was spotless! The staff was exceptionally polite, friendly and helpful at all times. They presented as personable and efficient, while showing great humour ...
We liked the idea of visiting many cities over a short period of time with no hassles e.g booking in and out of hotels and transfers etc.
We found the staff friendly, the food very good and the accommodation outstanding.
The tours that were included with the cruise were well organised and very interesting. All the buses we went on were very modern. One of the buses even had 5G wifi ...
My friend from college and I agreed to travel on this cruise together. This was the first time for me to travel after the death of my husband. We had traveled on Viking and I had gained confidence that once we got to the Viking ship we would be well care for during our vacation. If any problems arose, I knew that we would be helped.
The ship is delightful, the number of passengers gives ...
Beautiful cruise. Excellent organization. Food and service superb. Very good cruise director Radim. We were very well taken care of. Embarkation process was very smooth. We had excellent shore excursions with the great guides. Our guide in Bamberg was the best ever.
Dining room service went above and beyond our expectations. Food was very well prepared and very beautifully served. Dining room ...
We took the Amawaterways Danube River cruise from Prague to Budapest. After a three day visit to Prague, we boarded the ship in Vilshofen for a 6 night trip, followed by a one night stay in Budapest. Most of the excursions were included and had a wide choice of difficulty to accommodate every passenger. The few extra trips that we took were well worth the money as well.
All of the tour guides ...
