I traveled with my mother and this was my first ever river cruise experience. We had such a lovely time. The crew was absolutely amazing. we really enjoyed meeting and speaking with them as they were all so nice and helpful. The housekeepers were fantastic and kept the rooms looking great. We enjoyed all the waiters/waitresses at meal times. They were very attentive and answered any and every ...

This was our first time taking a cruse so we wanted to avoid all the hustle of a large cruise ship and too many people. We chose the Avalon waterways cruise because it was an American based company and easy to work with. We did book through Vacations to Go and received a discount. Overall, between Avalon and Vacations to Go, everything was covered in the overall process of booking the cruise and ...

This river cruise was our 5th with Avalon and we have never been disappointed. The ship was really nice and the cabin comfortable and well appointed. We love that the entire side of the cabin facing the river was all glass so that you get a full view of the scenery as you sail along, and that the bed faces the window. The bathroom, while small (as expected), was quite workable and beautifully ...

This was our first river cruise vacation and after this cruise it will not be our last. It was more than I expected. Everyone was friendly, helpful and cheerful. The food was spectacular but not wasteful, we were given just enough with a variety. Every day was different and exciting. The entertainment at night was entertaining and just enough time. Every day at 4:00 was coffee and desserts..which ...

Not quite what they sell. The upgrade to the full slider window for an extra $1500 (base for a solo fee was $6000) for 7 nights was pretty much worthless. For 5 nights we were parked 3 deep with other ships, so you could not keep your curtain open unless you wanted the other boat to see you. One night we left at midnight... you could see the river edge then... but, we were asleep. The first ...

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 chose this particular cruise because at the time I booked it, it was the only two-week river cruise over the Christmas and New Year's holidays in that part of Europe. The ship was beautiful and the cruise was wonderful. The tours were interesting and enlightening and covered a lot of areas, some by bus and some on foot, including quaint medieval villages, wonderful cities and beautiful ...

Right time / rather new cruise ship / Love the cruise director, loved the crew always happy, friendly and willing to do whatever to make the trip an experience!! The food portions were very good, not too large and plenty to eat. Sometimes the food was locally focused and it gave you the opportunity to try something different and other options if you chose not to try something different. The ...

I am a solo traveller -- I like to be safe and looked after. Avalon knows how to do this in style. The suites are roomy with a lot of storage area and huge floor to ceiling windows. The room is large as they don't have the wasted space of a balcony .. you can open the window wide and that eliminates the need of a balcony. The beds are so very comfortable and the bathroom is roomy. The ...
