1-10 of 95 Avalon Waterways Avalon Imagery II Cruise Reviews
You learn a lot about a cruising company when something doesn't go to plan, and Avalon's poor decisions have prompted us with the final verdict of "0 stars, never again". Our Christmas Market cruise was dramatically altered due to high water conditions on the Danube. Avalon was faced with the same dilemma as other cruise lines, and as you'll read, failed across the board with their ...
We could not fault this cruise from start to finish, from the friendly welcome on arrival to the very last day, the staff were so accommodating. The food was 5* quality, the ship was of an excellent standard, the included excursions were all very interesting and full of information from the tour guides. There were tea and coffee stations with lovely nibbles available 24/7. Our cabin on the Royal ...
We chose this cruise because we are not yet retired and wanted a shorter itinerary. We were aware that Avalon is known for excellent service and larger staterooms with wide open doors (similar to a balcony) and this cruise fit our schedule. The ship was beautiful and our room was amazing - large, well appointed, clean, new and very spacious. The view was spectacular. We were impressed to be met ...
We were looking for a cruise along the Rhine River that allowed us combine both land and river options and Avalon delivered. The ship, and its wonderful staff, pampered us every step of the way, from the day we boarded until they sent us on our way. No request was too big, or small, and their staff were always helpful and willing to assist, including sending our postcards, and arranging for taxi ...
We chose this cruise because we were interested in the beautiful Moselle River winding through the vineyards and the opportunities provided with the active and discovery excursions. Lots of hiking through vineyards and cycling along the Moselle. We even got the ships Adventure Host to cycle with us from one port of call to the next as it was only 20km down the river! All of the meals were ...
It was offered at a good price and it was somewhere I had never been before. The ship was beautiful and the crew were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. My travelling companion is Celiac and she was offered so many choices and always given several options.
The hotel manager and his staff are fantastic and the cruise director Anna was so helpful full of enthusiasm and nothing was too much ...
Avalon was highly recommended by a friend of our son who, along with his wife, accompanied my wife and I on the cruise. This was our first cruise of this type and we were absolutely blown away. Everything was first class - the accommodations, the food and drinks, the professionalism shown by the crew. I don't think they could have done a better job. After dinner there was always plenty of time ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted a way to see different areas of Germany without having to haul suitcases from town to town. We had 3 generations (9 people total) traveling with us (Age range was 21-81) so we had a lot of people to keep organized and happy. The Avalon cruise was the perfect way to see a lot of Germany, keep everyone entertained and fed, and keep everyone healthy. There ...
We were first time Avalon cruisers, so had no idea what to expect. We were VERY happy with 99% of all aspects of the cruise!
The ship is lovely and light and airy, in immaculate condition and spotlessly clean.
The crew were outstanding! all so friendly, happy and went out of their way to make sure you were happy and having fun!
Food was exellent, in range, quality and quantity!!! Really ...
We cruised with Avalon last year on the View on the Danube and were overwhelmed by the quality. This year our cruise on the Rhine on Imagery 2 was just as special. The rooms were luxurious with everything you needed including fresh water every day. They even supplied shampoo and conditioner. Such comfortable beds the only reason I got up was for the scrummy breakfasts and of course the great ...
