Balkan Discovery with Budapest, Bucharest and Transylvania Reviews

Very good and interesting cruise. Avalon service excellent in all areas. Crew extremely helpful and friendly and all spoke very good English. Daily excursions very well organised with very good guides.

Travelled on Avalon View, an excellent vessel. Cabin and crew were great. Our river time was cut short by one day due to low water levels in the lower Danube but Avalon responded well with alternate arrangements. Transylvania extension was excellent, thanks to our local guide, Stefan.

Excellent ship, meals, and crew. The river level became too low towards the end of the cruise, so we lost our second stop in Bulgaria and were diverted early to Romania. Our stop gap accommodation there was quite good and we got an extra day in Bucharest.
