Avalonwaterways Reviews

we love avalon

the ship was really comfortable the food was great and plentiful and our cruise director Katy was amazing will always look to Avalon to book future cruises no other cruise line we encountered several other groups from bigger cruise lines and the guides were consistently rude

Outstanding vacation

The boat was wonderful It was very comfortable and accommodating The food was excellent and tours well run personal and informative What made the cruise outstanding was the staff Katy and her staff of note Gabby and Konstantine were amazing Always went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction I would recommend Avalon to anyone

We thoroughly enjoyed our river cruise

We thoroughly enjoyed our river cruise Danube Dreams on Avalon Everyone on the staff were friendly and helpful especially our cruise director Helmut and Daniel in the waitstaff The tours were well planned and informative The food was beautifully presented and very good but I expected a level of food I was used to on our ocean cruises and that I heard was on Viking river cruises We loved the size and layout of the cabin

AVALON for a third trip was a hit

This was out third AVALON Cruise and we were excited to see our same cruise director as we had in 2015 Hendrik He was most engaging and helped us enjoy our trip Everything was as we expected excellent food and great servers Loved the tea coffee water bar at the back lounge Our room was always serviced in a timely manner

A first-time river cruiser

As a first-time river cruiser I did not know what to expect but this trip blew me away From the wealth of incredible experiences that were all included to the spacious rooms amazing food and delightful team onboard I am officially a river cruiser with Avalon Highlights for me were - waking up and being able to lie in bed with my morning coffee and watch the scenery go by Now I understand what they mean when they say the beds face the view- the Belgium chocolate making course and Van Gogh painting class- taking out the bikes from onboard and cycling the canals around AmsterdamCannot recommend more highly

Excellent experience

This was our first European riverboat experience and it was awesome We started our trip with flight issues and spent 12 hours in the Paris airport so our arrival was delayed Luckily the boat was docked in Budapest until Sunday eve Avalon was at the airport when we arrived 12 30am and we were on the boat and fed in our room by 1 30 am They were so gracious and accommodating This attitude was carried out through the entire trip Will definitely be booking another trip and have recommended Avalon to other travelers

Best Trip Ever

The boat was impressive The staff was efficient professional yet very friendly and fun The cruise director was top notch engaging highly informational and humorous Food was incredible and the activities well planned and executed Loved the layout of the rooms with the beds facing the windows allowing us to lay in bed and watch the countryside go by We felt we got more than what we expected and have been telling everyone who asks about our trip that they need to look seriously at Avalon Thank you for a completely memorable experience We re looking at other Avalon trips for the future

Great for Gluten Free Travellers

Everything was perfect The kitchen staff was especially great in their ability to accommodate our gluten free travel companions

South of France

My mom cousin and I had the best time sailing through the south of France with Avalon Everything about the ship was incredible from the Cruise Director to the local guides who took us around their home towns from the gourmet meals to the cheese tasting on board and the stunning cabins with the beds that face the window My favorite thing was going to a truffle farm and watching the dogs hunt for truffles then eating them in the farm s tasting room I can t wait for my next cruise with Avalon
