Avalon Waterways Reviews

Well organized. Great crew!

Avalon Waterways was great. I didn't give them a 10 due to their food which was not always great. This was my first river cruise but I have been on many ocean cruises and the food choices are much better.

Avalon was very good and they adapted well to the changing conditions on the river that required reworking a couple days of our itinerary. The ship, the activities, the food and the tour guides were all first rate.

All aspects of this experience were excellent. Loved it!!

Avalon is first rate.

Avalon segment was excellent but the Monogram segment was poor

The backup from Monogram was so well coordinated and smooth. This is a definite recommend this company performance. The hotels were outstanding, the local representatives were knowledgeable and helpful. I did not initially realize the link between the Avalon and Monogram, but now that I know, I will recommend these firms to all my traveling friends.

Awesome, everything we could have asked for!

Our first river cruise, but not our last! It was a wonderful trip and experience! Even with the problems our Captain and Cruise Director faced each day, they did a superb job of making our trip comfortable, enjoyable and always entertaining. Thank you!

Avalon River Cruises (the Impression)is a wonderful ship and way to travel. The ship is immaculate and the staff were wonderful.

The crew was fantastic, high service, very flexible and accommodating to passenger needs. Food was good. Temperature in the main dinning rooms needs to be cooler. The sites were beautiful but a couple of the excursions did not meet expectations, specifically the Salzburg Sound of Music Tour, too commercialized. The concert in Vienna was excellent, best ever!!

It was amazing!

I thought they did a good job. There were several things like the A/C and the shortage of staff that could be improved, but overall I thought that they were above satisfactory. I will try another cruiseline next time, though.

This was my first river cruise, and it was magical. Our budget room was absolutely lovely--much more than I was expecting for the price we paid. The staff was friendly and courteous--consumate professionals. The meals on board were amazing--no detail overlooked. Our excursions were well worth the price, and the ones that were included in our trip were fantastic, as well. Our cruise director was incredibly organized, helpful, and friendly. This vacation was so relaxing--after spending time in Europe on my own, trying to find my way around, going on this cruise made me realize there's a much easier way to travel! I can't wait to plan my next trip!

Avalon put together an amazing experience: comfortable accommodations; great itinerary and personalized attention made it remarkable.

Cruise was first class. Scenery, excursions and guides were excellent. Everyone employed by Avalon were wonderful.

Our second day on the boat there was an accident on the river, closing it completely. We had to leave the boat and were then bused to all the next cities and stayed in a different hotel each night. Even though it wasn't what we expected, everyone at Avalon went above and beyond to make everyone comfortable. Our cruise director Mark was great. He was with us the whole time to take care of any problems. This was a once in a lifetime trip for myself and my three daughters. It didn't turn out like we had planned, but I will definitely cruise with Avalon again.
