We were referred to Scenic by our travel agent after looking at several choices, even though we had never heard of it, nor did we know anyone who had taken a Scenic river cruise. My husband and I decided to keep our expectations in check so we would not be disappointed. However, the ship was brand new and pristine, the staff totally customer-oriented, and the all-inclusive river cruise of the Danube was perfect, from the first glass of champagne to the final toast with the captain!

Our fellow travelers were nearly half from the US, but couples from Canada, Australia, the U.K., and one mother/daughter pair from New Zealand kept conversations interesting. There were several absolutely beautiful days and a few that were overcast, but the weather never kept us from doing our tours or special events.

The beds were fresh, new, and luxurious, with housekeeping coming twice a day to change out towels and make up the rooms. The balconies on our boat were part of the room, with glass that opened and closed with the touch of a button if the weather was chilly.

There were larger cabins, but ours was good for two, with very efficient storage and a larger shower than I have seen on other ships. Because the boat was new, everything sparkled and worked beautifully. Linens were always fresh. There were several informational documents and publications to help us navigate our journey.
