- DDan· July 27th, 2016A great experience. I would book with Avalon again.Trip date: August 2014
- CCathy· July 27th, 2016Our first Avalon Cruise ... the crew was outstanding; shore trips informative and entertaining; loved having fewer than 150 passengers on board (love the larger cruises but this was much more personal); On board entertainment was unique and fun and the passengers were able to participate; Food was very good. Our stateroom was comfortable and afforded great views! Will definitely do this again!Show moreTrip date: October 2015

- GHGilda· July 26th, 2016All the staff/crew members are excellent including your tour guide from Avalon who accompanies you along the way. I got particularly excellent service when I advised them of my food sensitivities. I would encourage anyone considering Avalon to take advantage of any discounts offered, like early booking. Will definitely use them if we take another river cruise.Show moreTrip date: October 2013
