Check www.weatherbase.com for monthly averages. I usually check the forecast just before I leave and have found it to be mostly accurate over the last few years.

Judy McCauley Ouch! Avalon charges $70.00 for the transfer in Nice to the airport that is 2.2km from the hotel. That is probably about a 6 minute drive. I wonder if I am looking at the wrong airport. That can't be right. I used Google Earth so maybe there is a different airport. Things must be very expensive in Nice.

I agree with Judy ... it would be helpful. This year we would not be able to use the transfers as we are leaving early and then staying in Nice for a few extra days (we are taking Grand France with Provence Extension).

Pat Kerlin Podwysocki Is there a timeframe for posting optional excursions for the river cruises? Last year they were posted about a month or so before sailing. Thanks!!!

Thank you Carol! Pat and I are getting excited as we have "talked" on the internet for the last few years. We will now meet on our cruise. Really looking forward to meeting after all these years.

Avalon Waterways Introducing the newest addition to the Avalon Waterways river cruising fleet – the Avalon Luminary. Get a sneak peak at the building of this new ship, which sets sail this summer on the Romantic Rhine. Carrying a maximum of just 138 passengers, this vessel has already earned praise for its spacious and airy public area...s, the above average size staterooms, and the many other unique amenities.

Loved my experience! Cruised from Hungary to Germany-- very relaxing way to travel and still see so much. Consider arriving 1 day early to account for flight problems; you don't want to "miss the boat."

We cruised Budapest to Amsterdam on The Tranquility in 2007 and it was absolutely wonderful.I agree to arrive a day or 2 early to get over your jet lag and have more time to see things. Budapest is beautiful and ranks right up there with Paris and Venice as my favorite cities.There is NO better way to travel than river cruising and Avalon does a great job.

Raymond N. Schuette Has anyone taken their own laptop with them on Avalon? If so, how difficult is it to connect to WIFI and how expensive is it?

I was on the Legenday Danube, Prague to Budapest sailing, in November. Wifi was 5 Euro for 24 hours or 15 Euros for the entire week. I was able to use my laptop in our cabin and lounge most of the time. There will be no connection while you are in the locks due to the cement walls.

I sent photos from my laptop, while in the loungs, on the Danube, to FaceBook. My friends hated me. Have fun.

Hello Marion, Snorkel gear is free of charge. There is a small fee if you would like to rent a wetsuit, however since you are going in April the water temperature is normally warm enough to go without one. We hope that you enjoy your Galapagos cruise!
