Avalon Tranquility II

Avalon's website does not adequately describe the tours. Listen carefully onboard because some require extensive walking. The sky grill or lounge were not open on our trip. Did have some deck chairs later in cruise. Tour guides for the most part were good at their job with a few exceptions. However there was rarely enough time on your own. Ship cleanliness is a priority with Avalon. Their bar stock is somewhat limited. Staff is very friendly.

wonderful time with really nice people, great boat with perfect service and delicious food. Tours were interesting and well done. Cruise director was always available and took good care of every detail. Entertainment was  fun and perfect after a busy day. Many wonderful memories of an awesome river cruise.

Booked early for 2 for 1 price - still expensive but worth it. WE prefer wandering on our own and it is true - guides don’t give you much time for exploration. Excursion to Maginot Line was excellent. Some guests who were not in good shape would still take the harder walking tours which slowed everyone down.
