Scenic River Cruises Reviews

We heard that Scenic was a great trip to do and we wanted to try a river cruise instead of a sea cruise. We also wanted a cruise that was all inclusive and did not have a lot of people on board. The cruise was amazing with beautiful sights to see as we traveled along the river. The crew were very helpful and nothing was too much for them to do for us. The food was beautifully presented and ...

Luxury crusing at its best. Although our tour was booked on the Jewel, we actually sailed on the sister ship the Jade, due to prior water level. On arrival we were greated by friendly staff that quickly became like family. The rooms are spacious and beds are top quality. Our personal butler, cabin steward, bar staff, wait staff, activities crew members and all others behind the scenes were ...

My wife and I are both in our early sixties and this was our first river cruise. I did a lot of research among the multiple companies and chose to go with Scenic. Best Choice !!! All was excellent from the ship, balcony suite on the sapphire deck, ships crew, food, drink, entertainment, excursions, people, and of course the weather. Cant say enough about the crew. They all work very hard to ...

Due to high water levels we started our cruise on the Scenic Ruby from Budapest. We joined the Scenic Crystal in Rudesheim. We we were therefore able to compare the two ships. Ruby is older but basically the same as Crystal except Crystal has Deluxe Balcony rooms which we had booked. The Ruby was in better condition than Crystal. Crystal had ripped and stained carpets. We found the staff, ...

After the Douro, the Seine and the Rhone, the Garonne etc. are a disappointment - ugly brown water (clean apparently) and rather dull landscape - not until you get out into the vineyards does it start to get pretty. Also some of the towns are a bit sad - the back streets of Libourne, for example, are to be avoided - full of beautiful but neglected, derelict houses and weeds pushing through the ...

Perfect time of the year to experience a river cruise. Not to hot and not to cool. Although the weather person got it all wrong. It was incredible weather in the mid 20's to highs of 32 Celsius, for the complete trip. Prague is incredible, 4 days was not enough, could have spent more time . This is one beautiful city that is hard to describe, one has to experience it first hand to get a ...

We have taken 2 ocean cruises in the past. We didn't know what to expect on a river cruise. We had never heard of Scenic before. We booked the Charming Castles and Vineyards and will never travel with any other cruise line but Scenic. They exceeded our expectations. When they say luxury, they mean it. They also say to leave your wallet at home because you won't need to pay for anything ...

Sailed on a 15 day cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Scenic Ruby on August 28th, 2023. Flights and everything booked through scenic. On the boat the food, drinks, staff were fantastic but delayed and cancelled flights at both ends cause lots of stress. Because it was a Sunday no calls to scenic were answered and we had to organize alternate flights ourselves with no help from scenic. Our ...

Boat: Jasper: Scenic Luxury River Cruise (Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam) a 5 star cruise! I want to know, who made up the daily menus? No one that is familiar with fine cuisine. Food will make or break a company. Mess up with food, and repeat customers will not return. This company needs hire a couple of trained Chefs to make up a decent modern menu and then train the kitchen staff ...

We chose this cruise because it was an area of France which we had always wanted to visit. We have sailed once before with Scenic on the Rhine and four times with the sister Company Emerald. We have always been very happy with the service we have received. The cabin was an adequate size for us and was kept extremely clean by our attendant. The food and drinks package was also very good. The ...
