Avalon Waterways Reviews

Beautiful new ship, clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff, helpful staff, great food and wine.

This was our first river cruise so we don't have anything to compare Avalon with. The ship was nice the crew very friendly and helpful. One has to wonder if Viking is so dominate in the market that they command the best dock locations and hotels. The hotel Intercontinental in Budapest was great but the Hilton Prague was dated, with AC that could not keep up with the heat wave, it was a good 15 minute walk to anything scenic. Prague may be victim of its success and there are probably far too few hotels in the Old Town to keep up with the demand, but the arrangements suffered when compared to the Intercontinental in Budapest.

An absolutely delightful crew and tour leader. Decent food and a well planned itinerary.

We really impressed with the Avalon River Cruise. The ship was beautiful, the food was very good, and the staff courteous and friendly. Moreover, the guides provided were excellent.

A top notch vacation. Avelon's ship was plush, food was excellent, staff was great and the cruise director pleasant and helpful all of the time.

Absolutely loved the Avalon Creativity! The crew were wonderful. Always pleasant, courteous and you could tell they loved their job because it showed. They would reFmember your name, drink or what you didn't like like anchovies in Caesar salad. Will definitely go on this cruise again and see all the friends I made with the crew! Loved it, loved it!!!

great accommodations and staff. Had a couple of disappointments with some excursions.

Cruise ships are preferred. Because the rooms are extremely small and the meals are to late .

Really perfected each cruise

A wonderful trip!! Everything was fantastic, from the rooms to the crew. We really enjoyed the excursions and found them to be very educational as well as enjoyable. Looking forward to our next river cruise!

The boat was beautiful. Food was excellent. We have travelled Avalon before and find them a step above the rest.

This was our second river cruise with Avalon and was even better than the first.

Avalon is a great cruise line

Our experiences with insights and Avalon have been outstanding and enjoyed each of our trip.

The cruise director and crew were amazing. We were treated like valued guests. The tours were varied, with knowledgable local guides. The meals were of utmost quality served by friendly waiters. This is our second cruise with Avalon and we are already talking about our next cruise.

Avalon has poor compensation for there errors and changes to the schedule. The amount is low and the payment timing is slow. Also, Avalon corporate forces the cruise director to face the passangers and does not have the fortitude or courtesy to present the problems and solutions themselves.

Avalon was great! We plan on another Avalon River Cruise next year

I enjoyed the trip as did my 81-year old mother and my sister. It was because of my mother that we chose this mode of travel. However, I did not give this response a 10 because most of my friends don't travel in this manner, so I'm not likely to recommend a similar cruise to them.

I would recommend both. The tour company planned an incredible trip and the cruiseline was exceptional. We commented numerous times on a daily basis how wonderful everything was.

Because of the way the cruise line handled the sickness on board. Too many people got sick during the cruise which limited time spent on land tours when it was obvious that the sickness was evident in discussion with the previous week passengers. Also thought the individual attention by the cruise director was inadequate 1- cruise director for 150 people.
