Our group of 27 sailed on an Avalon Danube Cruise in August 2024. We truly enjoyed our river cruise, it was leisurely and relaxing. The cruise navigated through inland waterways and we got to see closeup and stunning views of the European countryside, historical sites and nature. The ship accommodation was just superb, the food was par excellence. We had expertly guided excursions and the Cruise Director and crew were perfect, accommodating and helpful. We loved every moment of our cruise and it was truly unforgettable!

We were a group of 8 pax aboard the Tulip time Avalon Cruise and enjoyed the eight days thoroughly. The experience was much above our expectation. We were really pampered by the cruise staff. The cabins, food, drinks, entertainment excursions were all A+ Grade. It was wonderful relaxing on the bed and the sofa of our room enjoying the panoramic view of the villages pass by flora and fauna while the cruise was moving. I would definitely love to travel on the Avalon cruise sometime again.

Romantic Rhine was my second cruise with Avalon!  From the beginning to end our cruise was fantastic! It was so pretty sailing along the Rhine with vineyards and castles.


People think cruises are not for younger people who couldn't be more wrong! There were bicycles on the cruise, the hiking trips were well planned & the active host had yoga in the mornings and games while we were sailing. There was happy hour every evening & entertainment every night. Our cruise director had a contagious smile; it was hard not to enjoy his chirpy tid-bits of commentary. The chef & restaurant manager ensured we had freshly made vegetarian meals. The housekeeping staff are so meticulous & the crew are always smiling, cheerful and go out of their way for you!  We did a lot of sightseeing along the way - the only thing to lament is 'I wish had more free time!' I'm super impressed with the impeccable service year on year! Keep it up Avalon :)

We had a wonderful time with Avalon. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The ship staff were extremely courteous and were always ready to serve with a smile. We had a very large choice of food during every meals. Our Cruise Director was fantastic, ever smiling, ever watchful to provide information / services needed by all. He almost spoilt us with high quality service. We had very well planned and executed excursions, they gave us a wonderful bird’s eye view of the places we visited. The local guides we had on the tours were also extremely knowledgeable and ever willing to provide information and guidance. Our Ship Cabins were extremely comfortable. Though it was a small ship, it had all that we needed during our cruise. Overall - TOTAL CUSTOMER DELIGHT !!! We would love to use Avalon again for our small ship cruising needs.

This was our second river cruise with Avalon after 2019. This time it was from Bucharest to Budapest covering Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary. We loved it in all respects. We saw so many unheard of beautiful small towns - Constanta, Rousse, Veliko Tarnovo, Arbanassi, Vidin, Belogradchik, Donji milanovac, Lepenski Vir, Novi Sad, Sremski Karlovci, Vukovar, Mohacs, Pecs etc; In between there were so many other nice villages. Out of around 108 passengers, we two were only vegetarians. On the first day we had a talk with chef who took great care of us during entire journey. There was some entertainment program ever evening after dinner which was very enjoyable. Every evening there was happy hour from 5.45 to 6.45. Wine and beer were served to the guests. The service was absolutely top class. Every crew member served with a smile on their faces. Everyone was superb. Looking forward to next cruise eagerly.
