The Azure is a magnificent ship with a wonderful crew. The ship launched this year and offers the best in cabin features. Particularly good was the electric blinds making the room almost completely dark when closed. Great for a restful sleep. As with all Scenic cruises the very highest standards apply to the whole cruise. The food was outstanding and avoiding putting on the kilos is very difficult. My wife has food allergies and Chef Claudio and his staff could not have been more helpful. All the day tours were wonderful with the 3 onboard tour escorts going the extra mile to ensure wonderful trips. Scenic have 3 of their own buses (also brand new) with fantastic drivers who navigate Portugal's narrow streets safely and easily.

All the staff have fantastic memories and soon you will be called by name by everyone with all your preferences noted. Rarely did you have to ask for your favourite drink as the bar staff would remember you.

Would go again in a heartbeat.
