Avalon Waterways Reviews

Fine ship and organizing.

The Danube is a beautiful river to cruise on. We could do it again and again.

Remarkable! We enjoyed everything from food to excursions. I never thought I would enjoy having my vacation planned out, but I was wrong. It was great not having to worry about planning every move. We would have missed so much had we tried to do it on our own. The other wonderful opportunity was meeting so many wonderful friends. Yes we would do it all over again.

Had a fabulous time, the cruise line lived up to our expectations again. Staff and Cruise Director were amazing. Some of our stops were like walking into a storybook. Can't wait to spend another vacation with Avalon!!

First cruise was first class

Although we were only on the riverboat 7 days out of 19, it was an amazing experience and service was 5 star. The cabins were huge and the vessel was very luxurious. Top notch service and dining. Highly recommend as Avalon sets the bar high.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short cruise on the Visionary river boat....Very friendly crew, lively passengers from everywhere, some excellent entertainment and good food and wine choices

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 were small .Finally after complaining for 4 days were switched to cruise directors room which was better but still couldn't leave blinds open . Would not go back in summer and not with Avalon again .

Third trip and we continue to be amazed at the quality!

Wonderful trip! Can't wait for our next River Cruise on Avalon!

Our family of three generations celebrated our 53rd. Wedding anniversary on board the Vista northbound from Basel to Amsterdam August 3-10 in a spectacular way! The rooms were lovely, the food was scrumptious, the entertainment was top notch, the staff was very attentive and excursions were wonderful! I can’t say enough about how much we all enjoyed this vacation! When you are able to please such a diverse age group, you have certainly accomplished something! I would definitely recommend Avalon river cruises to everyone!

Wonderful trip up the Danube River from the Black Sea to Budapest. The boats and service staff on Avalon were fantastic. Great food. Our second Avalon cruise and certainly not our last. Great cruise/ tour director.

Amazing cruise in a beautiful country! The crew was so nice and accommodating. The cruise director was made sure everything went smoothly. He was always available to answer any questions and knew all the guests by name. The whole trip, start to finish, was perfect!

The trip was wonderful. The ships company were terriffic. The excursion guides were outstanding.

enjoyed all aspects of the travels and activities and shore tours.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

It was an expensive trip and the "active" program really did not work out well at all. Missed out on other stops in order to have the active option, which one day was rained out and really toooo hot for most of the others. I would not recommend the Active Cruises.

Avalon provided exceptional staff and serbice

Unfortunately the River water level was too low and the ship was unable to travel into all the ports. So sad, as being on the River was our favorite part.
