It was a freezing sunny day when we boarded the Scenic Jewel, we were made to feel very welcome and our butler explained all amenities to us in great detail. We were on the top deck (diamond) and had choosen a junior suite. The cabin as with all river cruise lines was small with very little hanging space and one has to be a great packer to put everything away. However it was The bathroom that made us choose this suite as its larger and has a bath. The bathroom has plenty of room with a separate shower lots of space. Plus I had a hot bath at the end of almost evry day. There are lots of lovely bath salts and gels it was lovely.

The Scenic Jewel is like a floating 5 star hotel, the decor, modern, simple and stylish. Everything is very clean and attention to detail sublime.

The food is wonderful with plenty of choices, so much food. All drinks are served pretty much all day and are included in the tariff. If you wanted you could eat and drink all day long. There is a huge upper deck with ample deck & longe chairs. It was very cold during our trip but sunny not many clients braved the upper deck but we did and the views with all the castles were divine.

Cabin Review

Cabin Junior Suite

Clean, small, great bed, lots of different pillow choices. Not much room to hang dresses.

Port Reviews

Nuremberg

We loved Nuremberg and Regensburg, the Weltenburg abby is a sight to behold set on the banks of the Danube, the church inside took our breath away the ceilings and colours splendid. We tasted Nurembergs famous bratwurst and the gingerbread is the best I have ever eaten anywhere in the world
