Avalon Waterways Reviews

Beautiful ship with well-designed and comfortable staterooms, great itinerary, terrific cruise director and good service overall. The food was good but not great.

They could have had more people for dinner service and during happy hour. But it was still great!

The ship and scenery were beautiful. The service was fantastic. The visits to the various countries were excellent. We truly loved this experience.

From the time we meet our guide to the time we said good-bye we could never complain about the service, food, room, and staff that made this a trip to remember. All the sights that we saw were well portrayed and highlighted by the guides. We will plan another trip with Avalon and contact our trip planner in Denver.

One of the best vacations I’ve taken. Everything was top notch- Service, excursions, food, logistics. The add on trip after the cruise was incredible. I would definitely take another river cruise with Avalon.

The journey began with a wonderful sightseeing trip down the River Rhine. Avalon Vista crew was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Having knowledgeable tour guides made each excursion an enjoyable experience. Then to top it off, the addition to our trip took us up Mount Pilatus in Lucerne and ended in the beautiful city of Como. Each day was more exciting than the previous one. This surely was a dream vacation!

Excellent cruise. Fair but very warm weather. Met two lovely ladies also doing solo trips. We shared most meals and many . laughs. Staff were wonderful. Bayeux tapestry visit was very special.

Every aspect was taken care of by our cruise manager. Our first river cruise was fabulous! I only suggest some type of flag be put out in cities where 15 or more boats line the docks. I couldn't find the Visionary and became panicky after a city tour. A crewmember of another boat pointed it out still quite a way in the distance.

Hello- I was a bit disappointed that the bulk of the cruise was in hotels and not on the boat which is wherecruises happen. I know this is partly my responsibility for not reading the detailed itinerary. I also left the Marriott in Budapest 1 day early due to a work commitment and in spite of my status with Marriott, my ambassador there could do nothing about the charge since it was booked by you. Although the rooms on Avalon were nicer and bigger than on Uniworld, the food and service on Uniworld last year were far superior. Please keep me informed of opportunities where the single occupancy is waived. Barry

the side trip to Transylvania was the best. wonderful

We enjoyed our Switzerland Coach Tour and the River Cruise was fun and busy! Loved meeting new friends and going new places!

had a lot of fun..

Well planned beautiful trip

This trip was so wonderful. The ship we were on was clean. The staff was available whenever you needed them. They were friendly, they took care of us, they were always there to see us off or greet us when returning back. We were always informed on what was happening. The food was extraordinary! We felt cared for and felt safe every single day on this cruise. We were sorry to see if come to an end. This is definitely the way to travel. Even in Paris and Monaco our cruise director was there and made sure we knew where we needed to be and what we needed to do.

Awesome. A little disappointed about the low water level, but you can't help it when mother nature throws a curve

A week of amazing Christmas markets, great dining and tours. Highly recommended!
