Please note that I have had to file this under Avalon Panorama as there was no Avalon Passion on the dropdown menu! This was our first European river cruise and it was fantastic. From the moment...

This cruise was our second one arranged by Michelle Fennelly from www.CRUISE.co.uk. Having had excellent service from her last year, we had no hesitation in booking our latest river cruise with...

We got a great deal by late booking this cruise due to tourists' reluctance to go to Paris. Their loss was our gain. As Avalon offered Courtesy transport to the airport or to Eurostar terminal we...

We booked our first river cruise on the Avalon Creativity. This was in response to an email advert offering very low prices for the start of the season. The booking procedure, over the phone, was...
