Can you find us some good deals? Are there any cruises that have deals on airfare?

The total comes to USD $49080/- which includes a discount of USD $1000/- per person. If you are ready to book this wonderful cruise we shall also ensure that the Prepaid gratuities amounting to USD $128/- per person is also included thereby ensuring you save an additional USD $1,280/- in total. If you could let us know the nearest airport to your home, we can quote you pricing for return flights as well.

Can two ladies share a room with double beds? Do we have ebike tours but not every day? One gentleman traveling with us will want a private room, is that possible We would like to travel any time in May, 2023

For the rooming arrangements we can definitely have 2 people in one room and can split the beds up. For the third traveller we can also definitely get him into his own room but please note a single supplement would most likely apply. A lot of the cruise ships will have bikes on board you can use but of course you do not have to bike everyday. Avalon, Uniworld and Lueftner, three companies you have enquired about would have bikes on board their ship for you to use.

Does the price include tax and port I'm looking for panera mic suite category a

Pls confirm if this includes all tax and port fees ? Also I would like the panoramic suite category -A! Pls let me know the full complete price.

1. 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 properly. "Cleaned" mugs have coffee print and "cleaned" soup bowls were oily, Overall, this ship didn't have the same quality I took for Danube River cruise before pandemic.Show more

Overall, 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 hotel room until we could be accommodated on the Avalon Panorama. The ships were clean. Food and service was great on both ships was great. Many of the tour guides on our excursions were knowledgeable and brought life to the history we viewed, especially in Amsterdam and London. It was also comforting to know there was always someone there who spoke the local language and could help us do transfers onto trains and other transportation. Not a complaint, but just as suggestion, I would have preferred to have one less night in Lake Como and and an additional night in Lucerne. We were told that Avalon was going to credit our account for the inconvenience experienced due to the cruise disruption. I checked my credit card statement and there has been no credit received. I will consider traveling again on Avalon and/or using Tour Radar.Show more
