Despite the challenges of low water on the Rhine, the Avalon team did a wonderful job in making sure we had a great time. We still went to all cities on the itinerary. We had a couple of long bus rides which were tolerable and the Avalon folks were great about making sure there were rest stop breaks. The 2 hotel nights were fine though of course we would have rather been on the ship! There were ...
In July, 2018 my friend and I chose Avalon and the Rhine River itinerary in large part because we wanted to travel in Europe in the fall of 2018 but only if each of us could get a cabin where the single supplement was waived entirely. We made our own flight arrangements and hotel reservations for an extra day going (in Zurich) and returning (in Amsterdam). The trip started a bit shaky when we ...
I had never cruised on the Rhine before, and I sell a lot of Avalon river cruises, so I thought it was time to experience one of the most popular river cruises for myself. I did the Danube last year with Avalon, and the more I experience Avalon river cruising, the easier it is for me to sell it to customers who contact me.
Just wanted to let you know that my friend and I had an INCREDIBLE and ...
We chose Avalon on a recommendation of our travel agent, it was the perfect choice for us. Embarkation was a breeze, an Avalon agent picked us up at our hotel and escorted the group to the ship. The ship exceeded my expectation in the public areas. The room was beautiful but not as large as I expected, I believe balcony cabins on ocean cruises are larger. We were in a panorama Suite, 212. ...
We chose Avalon because it sounded like a romantic, relaxing cruise with interesting excursions. They meet every high expectation. The dining food and service was excellent. There was many different choices on the menu which accommodated all diets. The lounge area was always comfortable with plenty of coffee, drinks, cookies and other treats! The late night entertainment was fun and ...
We chose this cruise because we love to be active. We have been on many ocean cruises and wanted to try a river cruise. My expectations were high as I have known others who have cruised the Danube and had a great time. I have to say this river cruise wildly exceeded my expectations. The key was the active aspect of the cruise. We rode around Budapest on a bike tour. Hiked thru a vineyard to a wine ...
My husband wanted to book a cruise that would be as easy or as difficult physically as I could handle with knee surgery looming. A friend and I found everything was perfect, especially for a first time river cruise. Everything about this cruise went smoothly from the moment we joined up. No worries and every question was answered promptly and fully. Our disembarkation was remarkably easy as well. ...
Wanted to see the sights along the Rhine.I found Amsterdam a great place to visit. Germany is an interesting country. The smoothness in which the cruise ship sailed was great and very relaxing. The way that the excursions were carried out was very organized. The dining experiences were all fantastic. The cabin was better than a regular hotel room and the cleaning staff were there to straighten up ...
This was our 1st River Cruise, with about 12 Ocean Cruises under our belt. It was a completely different vacation than an Ocean Cruise. With less passengers, you have a more personal experience than on bigger ships. The staff was friendly and personable, yet very professional.
Every part of our trip was wonderful. The embarkation and disembarkation were quick, efficient and seamless. The food ...
Friends had taken a cruise with Avalon on the Danube and told us how much they enjoyed it so we decided to try a trip. We don't like the big cruise ships so this seemed perfect for us. Two other couples went also, including the couple who took the Danube trip. right from the beginning, Avalon did everything they could to make our booking, airline booking and excursions as easy for us as ...
