Avalon Waterways Reviews

Awesome - loved Avalon - will be our cruise ship of choice from now on

The crew was great, enjoyed the entire trip. The only downside was the dinning room at night. It was too loud and you could not hear the people across the table.

Perfect trip with excellent Avalon team.

Wonderful expierence.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Rhine River cruise. From the room to the food and staff, everything was great. We will definitely take another Avalon cruise. Chris our agent with Avoya was excellent!

This was our second river cruise, both with Avalon. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and being on an Active and Discovery tour. One regret was not being able to hit another country by stopping in Bratislava, Slovakia, since we sailed right by. Even if there had not been many available excursions, we would’ve liked the opportunity to explore on our own for a full or half day. However, we enjoyed all of our other stops and especially liked the small towns. We appreciated the opportunity to dock long enough to explore some of them on our own as well. The staff and crew were wonderful! Most of the servers were very friendly and interactive and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Our accommodations were clean and comfortable and the housekeeping staff was always very timely with their jobs when we were dining or out and about. One suggestion might be to have a database that guests can voluntarily post their contact information so that others may stay connected. We were disappointed to not have obtained some contact info from other wonderful passengers, especially if we happen to travel in their hometowns in the future. It’s always great to have a connection to someone when traveling, especially overseas. Two thumbs up (actually four thumbs) for another wonderful river cruise in Europe! We look forward to another adventure with Avalon/Globus.

Beautiful. Crew was amazing.

We enjoyed all aspects of the cruise. What we would not do again is schedule 2 excursions a day every day. Its too exhausting

Spent one night in Paris at the Pullman Hotel Eiffel Tower before boarding. The hotel was in a great location right next to the Eiffel Tower, perfect for sightseeing. Once onboard the crew made sure everything was taken care of. Cabins, food, excursions and everything you could think of was on point. Highly recommend Avalon and Avoya.

I was very pleased with the ship which was spotless also the organization of the tours and the food was wonderful. The crew was very friendly and helpful. It was my first Avalon trip but hopefully not my last!

Fantastic trip! Service beyond expectations. Excellent food and dining choices. Excursions were varied with options for our group with different abilities. Only disappointment was having to change ships after 10 days because of water level in river, but this couldn't be helped. Otherwise, incredible trip!

Everything was nice and the food was good

It was first-rate. The excursions were great, and the guides were super-knowledgeable. The food was top quality, and all of the crew were responsive and friendly. The only suggestion I have is that the evening talk about the next day's activities should stress the name-number of the pier where we will be docked so that it is very clear where a taxi should return us when we've been out exploring on our own.

Avalon Impression Budapest to Prague was a wonderful trip.There were 6 of us, all family, ages 34 to 70, loved the ship and the shore visits even more. Staff was great, rooms big and very clean. Tour guides knowledgeable. No problems with water levels on the Danube. Our family loves castles, museums and pubs. We were able to do all that. Especially pre cruise in Budapest, we were there a few days early, stayed at D 8 Hotel. Post cruise a few days in Prague.

Best vacation ever! Avalon exceeded our expectations at every turn. The accommodations, the service, the food, the tours and the staff were all five star. Excellent across the board!

Great in all ways!

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.

Had an amazing time.

Gorgeous weather, excellent service, delicious food and fun excursions on Avalon Vista from Amsterdam to Basel.

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.
