Staff was professional, pleasant, fun, and met our every wish (except letting my husband steer the ship!). Route was fun and a learning experience. Food was always delicious and the bar even stocked my husband's favorite, Jameson Irish Whiskey! From now on, whenever we take a river cruise, we'll look for Avalon first! Avalon was recommended by our travel agent and she also always displayed her "service heart".

This was our first Avalon cruise, as out prior river cruises were taken on Viking. We hit a few spots of low water but the Director, Valentin, and the rest of the crew did an outstanding job of redirecting us to alternate routes. I did not envy them, but applaud them for their professionalism.

I’ve just completed my first river cruise on Avalon Waterways. It was exceptional, the staff, the ship and of course the 3 rivers, Danube, Main and Rhein. It’s a great way to check into your all inclusive “hotel” and explor 5 countries

“Really Hot ”
4 Stars
Cruise Date: 08/22/2019
Destination: Europe
Too hot this time of year to go on this trip . They do not have windows to block heat or the air co to cool the room for summer heat . Should have been explained to me before I booked a room with a view .Was told when I complained about it I had to keep the blinds closed at all times . Why did I pay extra for a room with a view ? Talking to people without a full length window below water level and they were cool . Even the dining room was unbearably hot ! Would sit there and sweat through dinner . Breakfast and lunches were good but dinners were average and portions

“Avalon Waterways Exceeded Our Expectations”
5 Stars
Cruise Date: 09/21/2018
Destination: Europe
My husband and I hoped that our Avalon Magnificent European cruise would be the trip of a lifetime. It absolutely was but the professionalism, service and amenities aboard our ship were even better than we expected. The food was outstanding and the organization of the shore excursions could not possibly be handled any better. We look forward to our next trip with Avalon.

I thoroughly enjoyed every. Input eof the Outlander cruise. The crew was impeccable, the food was delicious and the ship itself was wonderful. I couldn't have asked for more. I took several of the walking tours that were offered and they were just right, not too long or strenuous. I have no complaints only kudos to Avalon.

“In general it was a great holiday in Budapest and Prague. The only problem was on the cruise where we could not visit the last three cities due to some problem with the water levels of the river. ”
