Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Avalon Vista

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
We chose this cruise specifically for traveling through Germany, our favorite food stop was Cologne, great sidewalk restaurants and cold beer, plenty to see very close to where the boat docked. The food quality and choices were beyond what we expected. The rooms were very nice and accommodating. Particularly enjoyed being able to open up the sliding doors and take in the view while sailing. A wide ...

We chose this cruise as a high school graduation present for our son who took German all four years. What a great way to visit 4 coutries at one time! This was a great way to dip our toe into international travel as Avalon was with us every step of the way. The excursions were lovely and the staff we fantastic. Our room was located right next to the engine room so next time I will definitely look ...

This was our first time doing a river cruise and it was amazing. We really loved that the ship was so small. The crew went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The excursions were planned very well with tour guides that truly loved showing off these beautiful cities. The meals were all top notch and we loved that the lunch buffet and bistro dinners had healthy and small portions. ...

We chose this tour because Avalon Waterways waived the vaccine requirement in November 2023 and we wanted to cruise the Rhine for the first time. One of our party of four did not get the covid vaccine. The cruise was wonderful. The staff was exceptional and completely met our needs. The food was great and featured many local cuisine specialties that we enjoyed. The free happy hour every day ...

Let me just say the crew deserves 6 stars, they were all phenomenal! Buffet breakfasts and lunches were terrific, omelet maker Ridho I believe his name was had the best smile everyone morning and was a pure joy to be around. He literally made my day start off on the best note and I would gladly sail on the Avalon Vista again if I knew he was going to still be there, he was that great! By the ...

Our travel companions picked Avalon and we said we'd try it though we have cruised with Viking twice. The Panorama stateroom was fabulous - comfortable, and updated; the bathroom was roomy. 99% of the staff was excellent. My big bone of contention was getting in touch with anyone from Avalon the company when we had an issue at the hotel in Amsterdam (luckily, I had printed the paperwork) and ...

After having done more than 20 ocean cruises we decided to try a river cruise. We weren’t sure we would like the small boat without all the activities available on ocean vessels. I now think I prefer the river cruise experience in many ways. It was so calming watching the scenery go by as you cruised down the river and went through the locks. That was endless entertainment. The small number of ...

This was a trip that had been postponed for three years due to Covid, so we were excited to finally set sail down the Rhine. Pre-embarkation communication was chaotic and disorganized, leading to some stressful moments, but that smoothed out as we got underway. We were in Amsterdam at the peak time for Keukenhof Gardens, when they have their annual Flower Parade, so visiting the park was one of ...

Sailing with Avalon definitely was the perfect experience. Making new friends during cocktail hour and dining with them provided us with the ultimate opportunity to learn from friends in other countries. This cruise provided an extra night in Amsterdam and allowed us to visit both Keukenhof Gardens and the Anne Frank House (pre-plan 6 weeks prior as tickets are limited.)
We upgraded our cabin ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
This was a southbound Rhine cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. It was our first river cruise, chosen because it would be a new experience, but also because of the ports of call, which looked very interesting. The ship was great; very clean, cabins roomy, modern and to a high spec., excellent air conditioning.
All of the crew/staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful.
The food ...
