Avalon Waterways Reviews

Avalon was great. This was our first river cruise. It exceeded expectations in every respect. Accommodations on the ship were equivalent to a luxury hotel. Every tour and excursion was enjoyable and informative and happened without any hitch. We will do this again.

Avalon was great.

We would recommend Avalon River Cruises without hesitation.

WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY AVALON CRUISE LINE'S OVERALL QUALITY OF SERVICE. THE STAFF WAS EXCELLENT AND THE SHIP WAS CLEAN AND WELL-EQUIPPED. WE ENJOYED THE INCLUDED TOURS AND THE OPTIONAL TOURS AS WELL.

Very pleasant experience.

Can't say enough. All excursions were thoroughly explained, just like everything else on board. Every possible though was given to tourists' comfort

The Amazon Discovery team was great and the trip so much fun. We were able to swim in the Amazon, catch Pirrahna and then eat them for lunch. What a treat!!! The rooms were spacious and well appointed and the catering staff excellent. YES we would recommend this part of the trip again and again.

My cruise of the Rhine River aboard the Avalon Felicity was outstanding. The ship, with its smaller passenger-load and larger cabin size, was very nice. The crew was very friendly and engaging. The passengers (mostly over 50) were good natured and game, in spite of the physically challenging sightseeing program (a great deal of walking on cobblestone streets). No complaining about anything. There was a nice selection of food and it was very well prepared and served. I had the best rack of lamb I've ever eaten. I've taken a Viking cruise in Russia (2004) and this Avalon cruise was better.

Avalon has superb cabins, the food was excellent as was the service from the staff and crew. And river cruising is the way to travel as far as we are concerned.

I found all the guides as well as the cruise director to be so incredibly knowledgeable. They could answer any question. We were kept busy the whole time but could have taken time off if we had wanted; we didn't want to or we would have missed something that was exciting. The ship was beautiful; the food fantastic and choices were so different. The crew, even the captain, was so personable and we really developed a friendship with one of our servers. There were so many opportunities to interact with other passengers and I think we made so life-long friends. I felt carried for and about.

Avalon is a first rate operation. Our cruise was perfect from start to finish.

The cruise was perfect - excellent food, great people, interesting and lovely tours. I also want to state that the chef on the cruise, Oliver was amazing. I have so many dietary restrictions and he would go out of his way to ensure I had extremely delicious food every day.

Avalon's ship, accommodations, food, service, cruise staff were all exceptional. Shore excursions were informative and well planned. Local guides were knowledgeable and able to share aspects of their culture that might not be otherwise known by tourists. Staff regularly went out of their way to take care of unexpected problems experienced by other guests.

Avalon was terrific. The best with whom we have ever sailed. Avoya's recommendation was spot on!

Avalon's cruise was great in every way. The staff on board was top notch

We very much enjoyed Avalon Cruiseline. The ship was clean, comfortable, and very modern. Cruise staff was excellent.
