16-Night Europe Cruise

It was our first time on a river cruise. Unfortunately, due to the flooding and swelling of the Danube, cruising was the only thing we didn't do.

Everything about this cruise was amazing! The ship was beautifully appointed, the food was terrific, the local guides were so engaging and knowledgeable, and the ship's staff and crew were attentive and helpful. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, green, and bucolic. I greatly appreciated the casualness of the cruise, and the views from almost any floor or location. Truly a trip of a lifetime for me.

Our experience on the Avalon View was first class in every way. The ship was beautiful, the staff wonderfully attentive and the food was delicious. We will definitely book again!

I am normally not a cruise person, but this trip exceeded all expectations. The staff was amazing. The food was "over the top" and the excursions were perfect for introductions to reach port. Well Done!
