Avalon Waterways Anmeldelser 

The people. Every staff member we encountered was fantastic.

Our cabin was comfortable and well appointed, food was wonderful and a life threatening allergy was dealt with very well, all staff were friendly, and the excursions were timely and informative. I have already booked another trip with Avalon in May. Very pleased and am recommending to friends and family.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They took care of our needs before we knew we needed something! Meals were delicious and plentiful. Everything was well-organized.

We've sailed on Avalon Waterways twice, our most recent trip sailing on the Seine River, to and from Paris, France (Paris to Normandy) with three nights in London, UK. The trip was excellent from start to finish from the ship's accommodations, to the transfers, excursion options, food and beverages and wonderful staff members who clearly went above and beyond in terms of customer satisfaction. There were no glitches with our sailing (i.e. the river being too low or too high), however we have every confidence that, should something had happened, the Avalon team would handle any changes seamlessly. We'll sail on Avalon again in the future without any reservations!

We were a party of 6. We have all agreed, Avalon made this trip a memorable one. Two weeks total with one week cruising.
From the cleanliness of the ship to the stellar service this was a very satisfying vacation. Avalon took care of everything from our early hotel stay in Budapest to the 6 day cruise to the last 5 days in Munich. I will be traveling with them again and I can think of nothing I would change other than wishing for more time in some ports of call. Well worth the expense as we never wanted for anything - Avalon was guest experience first, always.

This was my first river cruise and first time to Europe.
I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the staff provided excellent service.
I would definitely do this again.

This cruise ship was beautiful, the staff knowledgeable, and friendly. Food was excellent as was the service staff. All the stops were lovely and exciting!

The accommodations were excellent and the food was beyond excellent! The staff was very professional and expressed happiness throughout the cruise

Our Egyptoligist/Tour Director was absolutely the best. Ashraf Mansour was our leader, host, protector, and cultural expert. The hotel accommodations were top tier at Marriott and Hilton hotels. The land tours were amazing and exposed us to incredible sights at every visit. The scope, scale, and precision of the structures were jaw-dropping. The Nile Cruise portion on the MS. Farah was wonderful with spacious accommodations, great food, and an incredibly attentive crew. My only complaint was that the trip had to end after only 12 days.

Amazing Cruise! The scenery along the river, and the picturesque towns we visited were magnificent. The service on the ship was fantastic, the food was stellar, and the crew were the best. Our Cruise Director Mihaela was awesome. I highly recommend taking an Avalon river cruise!

We had an exceptional experience on Avalon, as always. The ship was beautiful and well equipped with everything needed. The crew was fantastic, especially our cruise director Tony. He went above and beyond to make the trip an awesome experience. The food might have been the only letdown. It seemed that the chef was trying too hard. Way too many herbs in most dishes.

This was our first time doing a river cruise. In fact, this was a bucket list item to do a Christmas market cruise along the Rhine river. We loved the relaxed atmosphere which started from the day we boarded the boat. Avalon's come on board when you arrive approach made the embarking process so simple with no crowds or waiting. We literally went from the drop off at the dock to our suite in 5 minutes or less. Our luggage was delivered within 1 minute of our arrival at the room. Our suite was very modern and had a great layout that allowed you the option of sitting in the bed and watching the world float by, or we could sit on the couch or chair.

The ship and the common areas were very modern and super clean. The crew was great, the food options were excellent, and overall the cruise was a very pleasant experience for us. One of the key reasons we selected Avalon was the fact their ships have fitness facilities on board and they have a reputation for excellent service overall.

We will certainly do another river cruise in the future with Avalon.

This was our second Avalon cruise. From the moment we set foot on the boat the staff treated us as if we were the most important people on the boat. We noticed that they treated everyone this way as well. The staff were so attentive and cheerful. The food was great and the daily side trips were also great. Our fellow passengers were really nice and we made friends with many of them.

Our cruise of the Douro River in October 2024 with Avalon Waterways was a very relaxing, enjoyable trip. The ship is new and was always clean. We would recommend Avalon for several reasons: the crew was very friendly and courteous; the food was delicious and there was a nice variety each day to choose from. We enjoyed the local entertainment too as well as the excursions that were available.

Our river cruise was excellent. It was easy to board. The ship was very nicely laid out and easy to get around. Our room was comfortable and we loved the floor-to-ceiling window and the sliding door.
The staff was excellent. The food was very tasty.
The excursions were fun and interesting.
My favorite parts were interactions with the other passengers and crew and the excursions, in particular going into Cologne.
We were spoiled in a good ways and look forward to to going on another Avalon cruise.

Avalon provides great destinations, quality ships and accommodations, excellent staff and service and good value for your $’s. This was our fifth cruise with them and we’re signed up for a sixth. The Rhine Christmas Market Cruise was on my wife’s bucket list and we enjoyed every minute of it!

The company took very good care of us despite the high waters and lack of cruising time. I have taken other river cruise lines and would definitely return only to Avalon.
The food was excellent, the tours were excellent.

Our Avalon River Cruise from Paris to Normandy was absolutely phenomenal! The scenery was breathtaking, with every port offering unique historical sites and charming towns. The onboard food was consistently delicious, and the excursions were expertly guided, providing fascinating insights into each location. The crew were incredibly attentive and made us feel truly welcome - we already planning our next river cruise with them

Our Cruise Director is what made this trip so great. He was friendly confident funny and very trustworthy!
Mihai made everything wonderful!

My recent Avalon trip, my second, was wonderful. There are a lot of reasons.
My lifetime airline travel passed one million miles in the Fall of 2023. I say that to describe my AAmount of travel. Before my wife's memory troubles we did so many cruises (river and ocean) it would be hard to describe how many we did. This Avalon cruise (Basel to AMS) was one of the best. The other guests on this trip were wonderful. Interesting, friendly, informed etc. Great memories for me. The food was outstanding. The crew amazing. A short story: On my phone, at one point, I saw Remagen on the Rhine. I asked the front desk when we would pass it? She (I wish I remembered her (and others) name said let me check. She called the bridge. "They'll call your room 20 minutes before we get there" she said. It was 3 or 4 days later (!) when my phone rang in my room. "Remagen in 20 minutes".
Wow! (We gone up the Moselle for a couple days). Where do you get that kind of service?
My father-in-law, as his daughter said, "Got his purple heart at the Remagen Bridge". I texted her and my sons while we passed the bridge.
Great trip. Thanks Avalon. I'm 82 but I hope maybe next year to do another.
