Festive Time on the Romantic Rhine (Northbound) Cruise Review

“We’ve never had a Christmas as exciting as this one before and we’re ecstatic that we chose to cruise with Avalon this time round. We don’t cruise much but when we do we always try something new and we decided to book with Avalon since we hadn’t before. Best decision we could have made, they really took care of us on board and we loved getting to have some free time to explore the cities, too.”

Reginald and Jocelyn Snyder, Salisbury, Wiltshire
