We joined the 8 Day Legendary Danube Cruise which generally goes from Nuremberg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary.
Nonetheless, sadly on this cruise, the Danube River was unusually low (hey local weather change!) This meant the ship couldn’t get into Nuremberg. So, we left from Vilshofen simply south of Nuremberg.
Avalon have been wonderful about this surprising itinerary change, compensating everybody by providing alternative to take the optionally available tour to Salzburg or Czech Republic at no extra price and giving all people 30 Euro to spend in Regensburg.
I don’t really feel like I missed out with these adjustments, we as a substitute received to do some bit extra in compensation for it. Ensuring you’re completely happy is one thing I’ve seen time and time once more with Globus excursions.

Issues to Love about an Avalon Waterways Danube Cruise
Admittedly, that is the one European river cruise we’ve skilled thus far. However we paid cautious consideration as to how different passengers have been having fun with the cruise and their feedback, and noticed many different cruise corporations alongside the river to check.
Avalon has set the bar very excessive for us by way of a high-quality river cruise expertise in Europe.
1. Suites with Panoramic Views
What’s to not love in regards to the wall to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic sliding glass doorways of your suite?
This Open-Air balcony is exclusive to Avalon and a spotlight of this river cruising expertise. It’s seven ft wider than different cruise ship balconies and brings you proper as much as the water’s edge.
The suite can also be distinctive because the beds face the river view – most different cruise ships face the wall. Observe, these open–air balconies and wall-to-wall panoramic home windows are in all Panorama Suites.
I particularly liked how you may not see your neighbor, until you have been each hanging out the wall to wall panoramic window. Taking a look at different river cruises go by; they’d small balconies to take a seat on and their neighbors have been simple to see. It simply didn’t look non-public, elegant, or dramatic.
We liked having the doorways open for that inside outdoors really feel, particularly when sleeping at night time for the cool air. Don’t fear about messing up the AC, it mechanically switches off whenever you open the door (one other inexperienced follow verify!)
What a deal with waking up and watching the Budapest skyline go previous whereas mendacity in mattress.
Not solely did you get these sweeping views outdoors the window, however the best way the room was designed meant that your views prolonged past into the full-length mirrors on the facet of the cabin.
So, should you wished to work on the desk and switch your again on the view, you’d nonetheless see it via the mirrors in entrance of you, how cool!
We additionally had a small sitting space to benefit from the view with our coffees, with in-room breakfast or whereas working. Your sitting-area desk is adjustable so you’ll be able to set the peak to your actual consolation stage.
There’s additionally a TV within the room with field workplace on demand and boombox sound…which we didn’t use as soon as as there have been far too many different nice issues to do.
All of us agreed that the Consolation Assortment beds have been extraordinarily snug. They’ve 4 ranges of mattress firmness – very mushy, mushy, agency or very agency, which you’ll request earlier than arrival – and a mushy pillow to go together with it.
Savannah rejected my makes an attempt to tug her into early morning yoga on a number of events as a result of she was too snug in mattress sleeping!
All these unbelievable options and open-air views don’t compromise area – rooms are 30% bigger than business customary.
After three weeks residing out of our suitcases in inns and shifting each three days round Italy and France, it was a dream to unpack all our belongings as soon as and have loads of closet area for them. We even had area for all our tech tools within the workplace drawers. And there was loads of area underneath the mattress to cover our suitcases!
I may even unpack all my toiletries within the surprisingly spacious non-public toilet. It was fairly a sublime toilet with marble counter tops, glass-enclosed showers, and plush towels.
The offered toiletries smelled like heaven, which was one of many first issues the women commented on – they liked washing their hair with the French L’Occitane merchandise. Rooms additionally include fluffy robes and slippers, that are good for making the early morning sprint to the again Membership lounge for espresso to take again to the room (For the women it was limitless sizzling candies!)
NOTE:
- You probably have your sliding doorways open lots – which we did – you’ll wish to watch out of your possessions. One knock may ship them tumbling into the water. No huge deal simply don’t put electronics in precarious positions!
- Chances are you’ll not wish to sleep along with your door open in case your room is dealing with port. I’m positive the danger may be very low, however somebody may climb on in, though difficult because it’s nonetheless not proper as much as the land’s edge. We had ours open, however we made the youngsters shut theirs.
- Until the curtains are drawn, you might not wish to stroll round bare, you may be seen. I’ll always remember the “scenic” view I had one night time at dinner, when a fellow Avalon ship sailed previous proper when a person walked as much as his window sans garments.
- Typically your room view could also be blocked when docked in port. They often must double park the ships. This solely occurred as soon as for our room, however twice for the women. It’s nonetheless price getting considered one of these rooms. We liked crusing into Budapest within the morning and watching the skyline seem from our comfortable mattress!
- For decrease budgets, there are staterooms on the decrease flooring of the ship, which have home windows above the water stage. Excellent news is, you get unbelievable views from all different flooring on the ship, so you’ll be able to spend extra time there than in your room!
2. Excellent Meals on an Avalon River Cruise
There’s nothing worse than being on a trip, researching endlessly to discover a high quality restaurant that matches your price range and fits all tastes and dietary concerns within the household, solely to complete the meal in distaste as a result of the meals was horrible, the service poor, and also you wasted your cash!
That is what I liked in regards to the eating experiences on Avalon. You knew certainly every meal and snack could be nice. It competed fiercely with Italy for a number of the finest meals on our European journey, it was undoubtedly extra various!
I practically cried on our first day again house to actuality after I walked into the kitchen to arrange dinner.
My sausages and mash simply doesn’t dwell as much as the Avalon customary of 4 course, effective eating, high quality meals matched by excellent native wine – and my service is not any match for the pleasant and humorous servers we had each night within the eating room.
When you verify in, put your pockets away as all meals are included in your complete river cruise. What does that imply precisely?
Breakfast + lunch + afternoon tea + completely happy hour + dinner + all-day snack + espresso bar. You’ll NEVER go hungry on an Avalon Waterways cruise.
I used to be very happy to stroll off the ship a few kilos heavier. However, if I walked off an ocean cruise after 8 days, I’d be approach heavier.
The meals on the Avalon river cruise (and Europe on the whole) was wholesome and clear principally made with produce coming from native farms. So, get pleasure from your self, as Julian our server mentioned, “You’re on vacation, let go and eat extra!”
There are many energetic issues to do whereas on the cruise. (I shredded the additional kilos actually fast.)
Regional Meals & Wine
I’m positive, like me, you like experiencing native meals and wine whenever you journey. I used to be frightened about lacking this by consuming every day on the ship.
However I didn’t must as a result of they’ve a wide array of regional dishes on the menu every day so that you can select from.
Every dinner course has about 4 choices – to go well with all tastes and diets – some might be regional, some might be Avalon specialties, and a few might be common appearances like steak and grilled hen for these with plainer style buds.
The wines additionally change each night, so that you’re at all times tasting one thing new along with your meal, and they’re principally from the area that you’re touring via.
I LOVED consuming solely clear European wines with no California wines to be seen! I don’t even drink them within the US; I’d be horrified to see them on a Europe river cruise.
One other comforting and constructive side of the meals on our Avalon river cruise is that I knew each meal coming to me could be gluten-free.
You probably have dietary points, you may be sorted too, together with vegan and vegetarian. There’s a assembly with the chef whenever you first board to allow them to know of your particular necessities, and all employees are knowledgeable.
My night servers let me know the best way to adapt any meals that weren’t particularly famous as gluten-free (every little thing is labeled).
Throughout afternoon tea and our welcome and goodbye cocktails, they delivered gluten-free hors d’oeuvres and desserts with out me having to ask.
Normally, I’m handled with disdain or annoyance so to be cared for like this was heartwarming. To have the ability to eat this properly as a gluten-free particular person as properly is one thing I’ll bear in mind. I’m very grateful to the chef and his group.
Glad Hour and Afternoon Tea
New on Avalon river cruises in 2023 is complimentary Glad Hour! Each afternoon about an hour earlier than dinner, friends flock to the panorama lounge for chosen cocktails, beer, and wine to get pleasure from with views and conversations. It was a good way for us to work together with different passengers, who have been so good and lined a variety of ages and nationalities.
I attempted a few completely different cocktails, however principally I couldn’t go previous the margarita – it was so properly made with contemporary lime juice. Craig additionally loved his Previous Long-established.
Youngsters also can get mocktails. The ladies at all times appeared from their free time (often having fun with their area in their very own room) for his or her Fruit Punch and Avalon Fizz.
The opposite day by day occasion our ladies ensured they didn’t miss was afternoon tea. Once more, within the panorama lounge was a big collection of truffles, sandwiches and yummy sweets. The ladies would pile their plates with black forest cake, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and macarons – good after a day of exploring.
How will you beat a cruise that strikes from afternoon tea, to completely happy hour, to a effective eating night?
Flex Eating Choices
Avalon has FlexDining on the ship giving friends the choice to decide on the place they eat.
We couldn’t resist the restaurant each night time as we liked the class of a 4 course, effective eating meal paired with distinctive wine and repair. The servers made us giggle a lot and we loved their firm.
The restaurant had huge home windows and was additionally at stage with the water, so we liked these night dinner views.
Different cruising associates we made loved having dinner within the Panorama Bistro the place they’d small sampling plates of the meals we had downstairs.
Lunch was often extra buffet fashion informal within the Panorama lounge. On some days when the climate and views have been implausible, the cooks ready us an exquisite BBQ lunch on the SkyDeck.
For breakfast, there’s a buffet within the restaurant with any breakfast meals you’ll be able to think about from baked beans, to pancakes, omelets, sausages, cereal, yogurt and even vegemite! You will get glowing wine additionally should you’re within the temper.
Or, there are alternatives you’ll be able to order from a menu like Belgian waffles or eggs benedict.
And naturally, you’ll be able to have breakfast in mattress. It’s an easier continental breakfast good for a desired lazier morning.
The panorama and membership lounge have an all-day espresso machine and sizzling chocolate. And the membership lounge has 24-hour snacks like combined nuts, cookies, and truffles of the day. Yep, our ladies did a number of midnight raids of this, they liked having their very own room and the independence to roam round. We felt utterly secure letting them try this.
3. Spacious Sky Deck with Sizzling Tub
There are not any swimming swimming pools on a European river cruise, however there’s a sizzling tub with an expansive view!
We loved sitting in there on a day sail, and supposed to get in there within the night however have been distracted by the night leisure.
The SkyDeck has ample area so that you can sit and calm down with loungers, tables and chairs underneath canopies, comfortable couches up entrance for uninterrupted 180-degree crusing views.
There’s additionally an enormous checkers/ draughts sport that we loved taking part in, and it’s the right spot for a cornhole competitors that our Journey host ran on considered one of our afternoon sails.
Desire a drink up there? After all, you’ll be able to. We liked sitting on the Sky Deck throughout Glad Hour. Workers will ship your drinks to you as they don’t need you strolling up and down stairs with out your arms free. Security is paramount for them!
There’s additionally an elevator on board the ship should you don’t wish to use the steps.
Savannah even took herself as much as the Skydeck one morning at 5am to observe the dawn over Budapest!
4. The Gorgeous Scenic Sails on the Danube River
You’re river cruising in Europe, in fact you wish to expertise a scenic sail. A lot of the crusing is completed in a single day however there have been two instances on this Danube River cruise that we had a scenic sail.
Avalon designs the itinerary that approach so that you don’t miss it.
Our scenic sails have been from Passau to Linz and from Melk via the picturesque Wachau Valley to Vienna. It was unbelievable crusing via this gorge and seeing the little villages on the sting of the river that regarded like colourful work.
On our scenic sails, our cruise director, Csaba gave commentary, so we knew what we have been .
And one time, he had us all lined up on the fringe of the boat to throw cash at a statue on a small island as we got here out of a lock for good luck! It was a great deal of enjoyable and solely considered one of us on the ship hit the goal for luck.
I liked how the smaller nature of the river cruise gave us the chance to do issues like this as if we turned a gaggle of associates, not simply separate passengers.
I do know on large ocean cruisers with 1000’s of individuals they’ve huge sail away events and dancing leisure, but it surely’s exhausting to attach with others whenever you’re doing it with 3,000 strangers. When there are 56 of you, it’s far simpler to really feel a part of a household.
Through the lull elements of the scenic sails we performed video games like big draughts, or a corn gap match with the remainder of the cruisers.
Don’t miss the alternatives throughout the crusing (always) to observe the ship undergo the locks. We went via 12 of them, two of them have been double locks, that means two ships going via without delay.
It was wonderful how fascinated all of us have been with the locks. Simply be warned, it does take 20-45 minutes, so that you don’t go away your dessert on the desk to hurry to the primary one!
5. On Board Actions, Facilities and Leisure
As talked about, on the Skydeck have been video games like big checkers, draughts and cornhole, and a whirlpool.
The ship additionally had board video games and cabinets filled with studying books within the Membership lounge. There’s a health middle and an Journey Host holding morning yoga lessons, which I actually loved attending.
There are additionally bikes you’ll be able to take out at any time to discover on land should you get pleasure from biking. We additionally had implausible night leisure:
An English Broadway singer who as soon as carried out as Fontaine in Les Mis and Eva Peron within the West Finish London, not solely sang superbly, however was additionally hilarious. Savannah LOVED this present and purchased her CD and had a photograph along with her.
One other night we had an Australian singer who lives in Austria come onboard to sing quite a lot of songs all of us danced to.
We additionally had a Slovakian duo play some classical tunes and demonstrating a few of their very own Slovakian devices.
And, for our farewell gala night, we had a enjoyable music and dance celebration competitors, which Savannah ended up successful. It was an exquisite night of dancing with the opposite passengers and a number of the crew. We could have all had somewhat an excessive amount of good wine that night – apart from Savannah in fact!
On night time one we had a welcome sail away reception with a champagne toast and hors d’oeuvres, a security briefing by the captain, and a welcome speech by the cruise director. There was additionally an identical gathering for our farewell.
I liked how each acknowledged and celebrated all the crew on board the ship. They have been launched, paraded via the room, and applauded. Not solely did this assist me admire the employees extra and really feel like I used to be a part of an even bigger household, but it surely was one other signal of why we align with an organization like Avalon Waterways.
6. The Flexibility and Range of Avalon Excursions
I really like how the give attention to river cruising is extra on exploring the locations than being caught at sea – on this case, at river – for days.
You don’t want numerous bells and whistles on board as a result of a number of locations await. I imply, that is the aim of touring in Europe, proper? To see Europe!
On ocean cruises, many of the excursions are for an additional (costly worth) and might typically be booked out. Then you definately’re left to your personal gadgets with a short while restrict to get the tender again to the ship moored out within the harbor.
With Avalon River cruises, day by day excursions on land are included, and no tender wanted.
Included Basic and Lively Excursions
We took a basic historic and historical past cruise, which meant our included actions have been typically guided metropolis excursions with some free time after. The entire Avalon excursions have true native guides – these both born there or lived a very long time and have a ardour for sharing the legends and tales behind the websites.
Additionally they had optionally available energetic excursions, providing you an alternate technique to discover the vacation spot. It was often a hike or a motorcycle trip. We actually loved these distinctive experiences with our journey host, Hristo, who made positive he took loads of photographs of us as we hiked to gorgeous viewpoints or cycled alongside the river.
What was nice about touring as a household, was we may break up up to get pleasure from no matter tour we favored. Craig and I typically did a tour with both Savannah or Kalyra or, generally, considered one of us received to go on our personal, whereas the opposite took each ladies, like after I did a Budapest vineyard tour, and Craig and the women did a meals tour.
There was a great deal of flexibility and if the women have been somewhat older (16+), they might have gone on an tour with out us. It additionally felt like we received to experinece all of it as we shared our spearate experiences (together with photographs) once we joined up once more on the ship.
It additionally means we received to expertise much more to share with you, and allow you to select the most effective exercise for you! (keep tuned for that submit!)
Avalon additionally has well-liked Lively and Discovery cruises with much more exercise selections together with portray lessons, cooking lessons, and kayaking excursions.
Non-obligatory Excursions
At a number of of the river cruise locations, Avalon provides optionally available excursions that cater to completely different pursuits. They do incur an additional payment that’s fairly affordable.
They have been enjoyable actions like visiting well-known palaces, day excursions to different cities, and meals and wine excursions.
Do Your Personal Factor
You additionally don’t must do any of those excursions, selecting as a substitute to discover by yourself, take out a number of the ship’s bikes, or simply calm down onboard.
You are able to do this at any time when docked at port, both earlier than or after your excursions on land. On one night, Craig and I ducked out for a drink within the sq. in Linz, Austria whereas the women frolicked of their cabin (their selection).
And it was simple to return and go as you please. You simply stroll off the ship straight onto land and again once more.
The crew can provide useful recommendations on what to do and the AvalonGo app has road instructions, restaurant suggestions, leisure venues, and native data that can assist you discover native with out getting misplaced.
Don’t fear about getting left behind by the ship. Avalon has a simple try and verify in system, the place you scan your room key each time you allow and are available again so that they’ll at all times know whether or not you’re lacking or not.
Keep tuned, we’ll have a separate submit sharing the completely different excursions we did at every cease on the river cruise.
Right here’s what to look ahead to: historic metropolis excursions, wine tasting in Budapest, bike using in Vienna, climbing in Passau, classical music live shows in Vienna, and scrumptious meals excursions.
7. Complimentary Wi-Fi
Though this may not matter to all passengers, it did for us, and our teen daughters! We had traveled two weeks in Europe earlier than this journey with out Wi-Fi. It made it fairly difficult for us to do our work (we do work and journey) and attend to different essential journey associated duties.
It was so helpful to have easy accessibility to the web onboard our cruise.
Avalon additionally present Avalon Go Past private sizzling spots. These are distinctive as they act as your headset to listen to the tour guides amongst the noise and crowds of cities, however they’re additionally a private wi-fi sizzling spot that means you will be related off the boat as properly.
Observe: We didn’t get to expertise the new spot function of this system on account of techincal isses being resolved to make sure sufficient visitor security and optimum experince.
8. Distinctive Service from Avalon Crew
I’ve talked about a number of instances already how nice the crew on board our ship have been. It makes a distinction to sail with people who find themselves variety, pleasant, humorous, and wish you to have a good time. We appreciated their service and the little issues like;
- Honoring my gluten insensitivity.

- Captain Thijs taking time to speak with the passengers, letting them sit within the crusing deck for views and photographs, having a farewell drink with us, and taking us out on a dinghy to a small close by seaside for a swim once we arrived early on day one.
- Caring for our baggage once we checked out and in.
- Organizing transfers from the airport, and a lot extra.
9. Three – 4 International locations in a Week
There’s nothing like a European journey to extend your nation depend. Earlier than arriving in Germany for the cruise, we visited France and Italy, which concerned a number of aircraft, practice and vehicle journeys while lugging suitcases and backpacks round.
I liked how as soon as we boarded and unpacked; the ship effortlessly sailed us via three European nations. Craig and Savannah really clocked up 4 nations as they took a day journey from Linz to Cesky Krumlov within the Czech Republic (by bus).
And, whereas we didn’t cowl every port of name in-depth, I really feel we noticed and did lots. I loved visiting locations I by no means would have thought to go earlier than and discovering ones I’d like to return and discover extra in-depth, just like the Wachau Valley and Vienna.
It additionally allowed me to go to Budapest – a spot I’ve at all times wished to go however may by no means discover a technique to get there. I really feel like two days there was sufficient, but it surely did introduce me to Hungarian wine (which I had by no means heard about earlier than) and now I’m curious to discover extra of Hungary and see what lies past the Budapest borders.
Our 80day Danube River cruise was an ideal mix of having fun with each journey and vacation spot.
What Different Passengers Preferred
We spoke to a number of different passengers on board Avalon Waterways. We’re very constructive folks – I might be labelled a Pollyanna (unapologetically) and might get pleasure from any sort of journey expertise. so wished to make sure we had the heart beat proper that Avalon Waterways was distinctive.
Listed below are a few of their feedback that replicate how Avalon might be top-of-the-line river cruises in Europe:
- After I in comparison with different cruise corporations, Avalon supplied a a lot better all-round expertise.
- I’ve skilled completely different river cruising corporations earlier than, and Avalon is approach up there. Completely implausible expertise.
- The guides have been distinctive and made the tour.
- The excursions have been lots higher and extra various than different cruise ships we checked out.
- Another river cruises aren’t all inclusive so whenever you add in all of the extras and evaluate them, Avalon was a lot better worth.
- We discovered nice offers for Avalon we couldn’t resist.
The suggestions was overwhelmingly constructive. The one time I heard something completely different was principally about sure excursions that didn’t resonate due to choice, or the climate that impacted our day journey to Salzburg. It was a downpour that restricted what we may do in our free time. Not a lot you are able to do about that!
And everybody raved in regards to the service, the views, the meals, the leisure, and the generosity of complimentary Glad Hour!
