“Cruise remarks”
3 Stars
Ship: Avalon Panorama
Cruise Date: 05/03/2025
Destination: Europe
1. I was quite disappointed with the food. I found it to be quite ordinary and some meal offerings were uninspiring and repetitive. Desserts were also quite ordinary! 2. We would have enjoyed more activities in the evening- games (trivia) and dance activities. 3. Rigid attendance to lunch and dinner times interfered with excursions.

The Avalon Tulip Time Cruise (May1-8) was fantastic. My husband and I enjoyed the daily excursions with wonderful guides, the meals, the evening entertainment, happy hour, and other events. The tour director on the ship was awesome. Everything was well organized. The room was comfortable and very clean. The staff were efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend.

Our River Cruise along the Rhine exceeded our expectations. We started with a stay at Lake Como, traveled to Lucerne Switzerland, with stops in France, Germany and Amsterdam. Our travel advisor Penny helped us plan every step of the way answering all of our many questions and assisting us with our extensions in Amsterdam and Paris. Adrian, our cruise director added to our amusement with his friendliness and wit! He was very organized and helpful throughout. The Panorama was a gorgeous ship with fabulous accommodations (larger than expected), incredible food and service beyond imagination. We

“Avalon View Rhine River Cruise”
5 Stars
Ship: Avalon View
Cruise Date: 03/30/2025
Destination: Europe
Loved the cruise. We were very fortunate to be able to make it the whole way in the Rhine. The captain told us that at one point on the river there was just 12” of water between the bottom of our ship and the bottom of the river. We met a couple from North Carolina while we did the boat tour around Lake Lucerne. They had been on a Viking cruise and their ship had to turn around at Strasbourg and go back to Worms, Germany because of the water levels. They then had to go either by bus or train to either Basel or Lucerne, so they never made it to Breisach and the Black Forest which was one of my

Another great cruise! I chose Avalon once again because of their professionalism, comfort and always joyful smiles. I would give my second experience another 5 stars. Everything from the service, food,excursions and wonderful atmosphere I find hard to beat. Getting ready to book another excursion with Avalon. I want to also thank my wonderful Avalon travel agent Colleen Baez, who has made these cruises possible for me with a wealth of knowledge and professionalism.

Our 6 night cruise stopped in Vienna Austria - Melk Austria - Passau Germany - Regensburg Germany and Nuremberg Germany - the Avalon Ship Impression certainly left an impression on us in a great way. The staff was wonderful to work with and the food was delicious. The accommodations were top notch and we loved the intimate experience. Thank you Avalon for doing it right! The tours in each city were very enjoyable and very organized.

This was my first river cruise, and I was thrilled with the trip. I added the optional extension that included one extra day in Amsterdam before the cruise, and three extra days afterward in Switzerland and Como, Italy. Avoya took care of all of the details and I was able to put all of my energy into experiencing Christmas in five countries. With only 154 other passengers, it was a personal and intimate ship experience.

What a wonderful vacation we had. We were sorry to say goodbye to the friends we made and the crew who did a wonderful job in taking care of us. From the arrival at the airport to the departure Avalon took care of us, In addition to a wonderful time we had on board, Avalon supplied great hotels on our early arrival in Budapest and extend stay in Prague. The included tours were great with very good tour guides on all. I have nothing but good thigs to say on our first cruise with Avalon and can see us going on other cruises with them.

The negatives included bad experiences both ways with British Airways - direct flight outbound arbitrarily split into 2 flights and on the return, massive difficulties getting special needs passengers onto the aircraft LOADING US ONTO THE AIRCRAFT USING A FOOD SUPPLY LIFT TRUCK ON THE TARMAC!!!!!! The cruise itself had a lot of positives, including the wonderful service and housekeeping personal. My cabin had heating problems for 5 days - “resetting a fuse” for 4 days and finally REPLACING THE HEATING COMPONENTS ON THE 5th day. Trip leader was very good and other staff were good also. Enjoyed
