Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Illumination

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s
Choose Avalon because of Panoramic rooms. Rooms did not disappoint. The crew was very courteous and professional.Always willing to help and assist. If we made the wrong menu choice,our water served a alternative choice. Doesent get any better than that.
Ship was extremely clean as well. Would absolutely book another Avalon cruise without question. Room staff made sure our rooms were cleaned ...

We are fourth time river cruisers, with a dozen more ocean cruises. We chose this cruise based on itinerary, price and to travel with two other couples, who are also of the early retirement age. We have previously completed this cruise twice with a competing line.
The provider's website is intuitively easy to understand and use.
Our package included the international flights; however, ...

The main reason, initially to chose Avalon was that the set up of the cabins. Also the fairs suited us as we had follow up plans with family. The service crew were constantly helpful and pleasant. Our waiter, Gabriel, went out of his way to ensure that our dining experiences were positive and enjoyable. He was always polite, gave good advice, was helpful and respectful and made us feel very ...

I chose this cruise because Diana Gabaldon was going to be featured. I’d been interested in a River Cruise but with the added bonus of my favorite author meant I had to go on this trip. It truly was an experience of a lifetime. It went beyond my expectations.
The food was great and the staff friendly and helpful. Historically interesting sites, beautiful scenery and knowledgeable guides ...

This cruise was the Legendary Danube Author Cruise, featuring Diana Gabaldon. Our Cruise director Robert was outstanding. Tours in Prague led by Helenna were excellent.
The waiter/waitress staff were very attentive. Food variety was geared for each of the countries being visited. Great way to try something new to you. Access to Diana Gabaldon was very open and had set times for interaction, ...

We traveled eastward on the Danube River from near Nuremberg to Budapest. Totally enjoyed ourselves! Cities we visited were so interesting, and the ship tours were terrific! We loved sailing into Budapest, which the tour director prepared us for by telling us all to be on top of the ship at 8 a.m. for an experience we'd never forget. And it was just that! We were taking photos on all sides of ...

The Avalon Illumination is a beautiful vessel, essentially a floating luxury hotel. Lovely experience on board with a wonderful Czech hotel manager, Barbora, and a smiling, mostly Romanian, crew. Top-notch organization from Dutch cruise director, Mark. Excellent meals and many charming small touches, such as glasses of lemonade awaiting us when we returned from excursions, or dining hall ...

We had heard so many great things about the European River cruises and we were so tired of the large cruise ships with the crowds, the impersonal service and lousy food. We had friends that had cruised with Avalon so we decided to try it. Everything was so great - from the pre and post hotels to the ship excursions to the food and beyond. The staff were outstanding especially our server in the ...

We had a wonderful time! Great crew, very clean ship, and wonderful food. The crew was very attentive and helpful. The ship was in excellent condition. Food was very good to excellent. All in all, we had a wonderful time.
Dining room could get loud and there are no tables for just 2 people. Thus you are forced to sit with others.
The ship had bikes for passengers to use and the free tours ...
