    Asked on July 3rd, 2023

    I would like to know how much does it cost for 2 people, to go from Amsterdam to Basel, on this boat trip. And should we reserve the hotel for the first night in Amsterdam? And is it possible paying by money transfert or Apple Pay?

    Price / Availability
    • Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written July 2023

      We accept credit card and paypal. We do not have a provision for Apple pay or bank transfer. We can definitely quote you a price for a pre-night before the cruise. The ship that will be sailing on the 15 September 2023 is known as the Avalon Panorama.
