Avalon Waterways Reviews

Loved the ship, our room and the crew

We had wonderful time. Cruise director was very helpful. We did miss paper copy of maps on walking tours. My husband got lost in one town and app map couldn't b accessed on phone.

We tested Positive two days into our trip and were dropped off in a very nice Mariott hotel in Cologne, Germany where we spent 12 days. The Avalon people were very supportive and helpful where they could be. We will rebook the trip in the future.

Food, sights, tours and service were above what we expected. Fabulous !

The tulips the art the weather the crew boat passengers were all fabulous

Avalon's ship The View made it's maiden voyage on our cruise. The ship was beautiful and the crew were amazing. Everyone was so kind,helpful and happy to serve you. This was our first time to eastern Europe and it was truly unforgettable.

Amazing trip! Every stop was beautiful and we loved every excursion.

The staff made the trip special for all of us. It’s one thing to see historic sites, and it’s another thing to experience the countries’ tastes, music, architecture, and people. This trip gave us those opportunities.

The whole cruise was geared for the clients enjoyment. It exceeded my expectations. The staff ( from housekeeping to director) were organized- respectful- kind.

I tested positive for covid the night before I was to disembark. Avalon, both staff on board and corporate office, attempted to find somewhere I could quarantine. With nothing available they did not leave me stranded. I was allowed to stay onboard and quarantine in my cabin. I was well fed during quarantine. As a single woman traveling alone I appreciated their care and compassion.

We had a woderful time on our Avalon Cruise. The service was impeccable. Maria the cruise Director made us all feel welcome and she took care of any questions or issues we had. All the excursions were very interesting and well organized. I would recommend Avalon to my friends.

Despite the fact that the Christmas Markets, etc. were shutting down as we floated down the Rhine, Katy, our miracle worker cruise director, provided wonderful experiences for us. We had wonderful food and programs. During this COVID time, we all felt safe with ship policies. In fact, the entire crew and all passengers tested negative after 8 days of togetherness. Thank you , Avalon Waterways.

The crew of the Expression were top notch. Confronted with an ever changing set of travel restrictions & requirements they were upbeat and adaptable. They worked hard to make our trip as fun and comfortable as possible.

Loved all the Christmas markets- they were so beautiful. Also all the history tours we took. Loved the ship and Avalon employees were also! Tony was a great cruise director

Christine Strickland is a very knowledgeable and helpful travel agent

Overall this was a great cruise---small group of passengers, very willing and able staff, wonderful captain and chef.

Everything was perfect. The ship, the cabin, the food and the entire staff. We couldn't have had a better trip.

I highly recommend this river cruise. It was a great experience, and we will definitely take another cruise with Avalon.

I have always dreamed of taking a river cruise and it was more wonderful then we ever imagined.
