Avalon Waterways - Avalon Panorama Reviews

1. I was quite disappointed with the food. I found it to be quite ordinary and some meal offerings were uninspiring and repetitive. Desserts were also quite ordinary! 2. We would have enjoyed more activities in the evening- games (trivia) and dance activities. 3. Rigid attendance to lunch and dinner times interfered with excursions.

Our River Cruise along the Rhine exceeded our expectations. We started with a stay at Lake Como, traveled to Lucerne Switzerland, with stops in France, Germany and Amsterdam. Our travel advisor Penny helped us plan every step of the way answering all of our many questions and assisting us with our extensions in Amsterdam and Paris. Adrian, our cruise director added to our amusement with his friendliness and wit! He was very organized and helpful throughout. The Panorama was a gorgeous ship with fabulous accommodations (larger than expected), incredible food and service beyond imagination. We are already considering which cruise will be next! Thank you all!!!

Another great cruise! I chose Avalon once again because of their professionalism, comfort and always joyful smiles. I would give my second experience another 5 stars. Everything from the service, food,excursions and wonderful atmosphere I find hard to beat. Getting ready to book another excursion with Avalon. I want to also thank my wonderful Avalon travel agent Colleen Baez, who has made these cruises possible for me with a wealth of knowledge and professionalism.

This was my first river cruise, and I was thrilled with the trip. I added the optional extension that included one extra day in Amsterdam before the cruise, and three extra days afterward in Switzerland and Como, Italy. Avoya took care of all of the details and I was able to put all of my energy into experiencing Christmas in five countries. With only 154 other passengers, it was a personal and intimate ship experience.

The travel arrangements were perfect. Hotel in Amsterdam was great and the Rhine River cruise was more than what we expected.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Rhine River cruise. Time with our children and their partners, the excellent service on-board ship, wonderful excursions and knowledgeable guides, free time exploring castles, cathedrals, and towns.

Everything about my experience on the cruise was top notch. Room was great, food was enjoyable and the crew was so pleasant and anxious to please that I cannot think of one negative thought concerning my experience.

Also, tours were by very charming people but usually without much real background historical or current knowledge. Elementary observations. Tour groups were way too large.

The ship was immaculate, the service was state of the art, everyone was kind, helpful professional and welcoming like family. The food was spectacular The excursions and entertainment were excellent. Only complaint was poor internet connections.

It was an awesome trip, including perfect accommodations, service and sights!

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

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

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

This was our second Avalonwaterways river cruise. Our third is already reserved.

Just an incredible and magical trip. The food on the boat was seriously 5 Star, the service was over the top and we could not ask for anything more!

My husband and I took his parents on this cruise and it was the "trip of a lifetime" for them. We enjoyed every minute and will definitely plan more river cruises in the future.

the trip and the tours were very well organized punctual and the crew was very helpful in every sense.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Great weather, high enough water level, knowledgeable tour and cruise director, as always, great food on cruise
