I’m told by my long term agent who we use for group trips and who has cruised both lines that Avalon is the higher end cruise by about a 1/2 star at least.
She attributes Vikings popularity more to their aggressive advertising/ marketing than any demonstrable difference in service or offering.
She says both are great products and one can’t go wrong with either but gives the nod to Avalon as the better experience.
The reason i’m asking is we are going with at least one other couple, most likely, two.
The other confirmed couple is leaning Viking because they’ve not really heard of Avalon, advertising and marketing is influencing them and i’d rather hear from people who have 1st hand knowledge.
