The ship was very nice as were the staff on board. Very helpful and pleasant. Only disappointment was the historic low levels of the Rhine River which required us missing the highlight of the cruise: the Rhine Gorge.

We have just returned from an Avalon cruise which originally was scheduled to utilize the tranquility 2 ship. Due to extremely low water levels our ship was changed at the last minute. It was still a lovely ship so this was not an issue. The routing of our trip was also changed but we managed to seamlessly see all the cities on our itinerary via coach transport from our canal docking locations. The Cruise Director, Katy, was incredible and explained all the changes as we went along. Excellent service on board too and delicious food. We will definitely do an Avalon cruise in the future

Exceeded all of our expectations!

You would never know the trip was a little bumpy with the river low. Crew and Cruse Director did an amazing job to make the little things count.

Fabulous ship, incredible food and a terrific staff. W cannot praise this cruise enough. We loved every minute

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Avalon, they took great care of us. The food was excellent, the service top notch, and everyone was so friendly! We will definitely go on another river cruise with Avalon in the future.

I cannot imagine a more wonderful trip! Very friendly staff, lovely rooms, delicious food, historic outings, with every day being better than the precious one! Loved every moment!

This was our first river cruise—Avalon Waterways Romantic Rhine (southbound) with stays in Amsterdam and Lucerne. We had heard good things, but truly didn’t know what to expect. It was fabulous. We are hooked, for sure.

We loved our Danube river cruise with Avalon. It was very well organized and the staff was so friendly and supportive. We loved and it and will certainly go again.

Loved everything about the trip. Everything was well organized.

Very good trip.

Our Romantic Rhine River Cruise with add-on days in Lake Como and Lucerne was the best vacation we have ever taken. We actually started in Paris for 3 days for our 40th Anniversary then went on to Como. Every single excursion we took was great! We couldn’t ask for a better trip

I felt that the excursions were cursory and nothing special. It was not a single meal eaten off the ship, and there was way too much “free time” while in port. I feel that Avalon did not distinguish themselves with this cruise.

My first river cruise and I will definitely do another. The entire staff were remarkable. The food was good. Entertainment was great. Had a fabulous time!

The preparation of the trip was the key to providing a great trip. Our deepest thanks to Colleen Baez for all she did for us.

We enjoyed the whole trip although the cruise portion is always the most enjoyable for us.

Overall really interesting excursions. Excellent service provided by all. The food was not as good as we’ve had on other cruises, which is why 4 stars instead of 5.

The dinner menu was not quite up to the standard we had come to expect from our previous Avoya cruises.

As first time travelers on a Rhine River cruise, Avalon certainly met and went beyond our expectations! The Captain and crew ran a top shelf 8 day cruise and were extremely accommodating to all of our needs. The cuisine was excellent and the wines served were top shelf! The tours w ere well planned and the guides were very knowledgeable! We are looking forward to our next adventure with Avalon!

It was enjoyable but it seemed we paid for more excursions than usual. Not as many daily choices.
