- YSYungchen· April 20th, 20231. The WIFI solution is really poor. Most of time on ship has no connection. 2. It seemed to be lack of staff. The food was delivered slowly. We are waiting "way much longer" in between appetizer/soup and main courses. 3. Many dishes were not cleaned... Show moreTrip date: April 2023
Roxana· April 12th, 2023The Wi-Fi didn’t work as expected and it caused quite an inconvenience. The excursion plan is not as clear either. Overall it’s still a good tour but I think my last Danube river with Avalon is better than this rhino river cruise.Trip date: April 2023- GSGeorge· September 4th, 2022Wonderful!! Food and staff were above average par none!!!Trip date: August 2022
- LBLarry· August 26th, 2022Overall, our trip was excellent. There was a disruption during the river cruise because water levels were too low for our ship to continue. The Avalon Vista crew did a great job of overcoming this obstacle by providing transportation, meals, and a... Show moreTrip date: August 2022
- TTom· July 22nd, 2022A few of the cruise ports were in heavy industrial areas - therefore walking to city centers was not an easy option. When finally arriving those centers, we noticed Viking Cruise ships in more desirable dock positions. Ship was also only at 35% capacity.Trip date: July 2022
- MRMax· July 12th, 2022We had an excellent experience, the ship was great, service was great, personnel were so attentive, professional, fun. One suggestion : the walking tours were long and exhausting. Perhaps alternative shorter tours for those who prefer less walking.Trip date: June 2022
- RRobertWalton· March 10th, 2020Awesome! Our first trip was well beyond our expectations. It was only supposed to be one trip, but it was so great, we booked another, this time a Danube River cruise leaving from Budapest. We've only been on an Avalon cruise and have stayed with them...

- TBTorie· October 5th, 2019Everything was fantastic! We couldn't have been more happy about our decision for our honeymoon. The staff made every effort to make you feel welcome and enjoy the trip. The excursions were fun and all except one of our guides went the extra mile to... Show moreTrip date: September 2019
- SHSandra· August 14th, 2019The Accomodation, Staff, Food all very good. The cruise travels on the Rhine canal so scenery was disappointing it is more industrial than picturesqueTrip date: August 2019
