Avalon Vista Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The people sailing on the boat were wonderful. Avalon did a good job of pulling people together in Lake Como so we built relationships. The boat experience was below expectations. We expected it to be not as good as our past river cruise experience (Scenic) as it was lower cost, but it was significantly below. Avalon really needs to do some work.

If you are looking for a calm quiet cruise with a few activities to do if you want, this is for you. We did one or two excursions at every port, so you get a feel for the place you are docked at. Overall a very pleasant experience.

We have done 30 ocean cruises and this was our 1st river cruise. Being an active person, I was a little worried this would be to laid back for me but boy was I mistaken. Avalon did a spectacular job of scheduling land excursions in at all the right times. Our weather was great-which was a big plus for making this such a great vacation.

not enough time in each port. I enjoyed the tour leaders - the one in Nuremberg was my favorite, gave us a real sense of German people. GREAT food and Service.

I very satisfied with the cruise. The staff was excellent and very friendly. The food was delicious and most of the excursion were were good.

This cruise by far exceeded our expectations, as I told Hans our amazing cruise director, "we are forever spoiled from going on big boat cruises after this riverboat experience".   From the exquisite appointment of the ship and personal accommodations, the intimacy of the crew, dining experiences, non stop excursion and passenger interactions is superb.  I also surprised my husband with a vow renewal for our 10th anniversary and the entire leadership team participated in making the day truly memorable for not only myself and husband but the entire ship was included in the festivities.  I cannot say enough about Hans, the Banquet Manager, the Captain for making every effort to get us past the shallow waters and see nearly everything on our itinerary.
