Amsterdam to Europe - River Cruise Scenic River Scenic Jewel Reviews

Wanting to avoid the health issues of some of the larger cruises, I chose this cruise because it was advertised as a small ship with not too many passengers. My travelling partner and I were told by our agent that there would be about 80 passengers. There were 180 passengers aboard ship. The staff was magnificent, always smiling, always wanting to go the extra mile except when it came to illness. ...

My husband and I chose this cruise as we throughly enjoyed our Christmas Cruise on the Rhine last year, it was so fantastic that when a sale came up on the River cruises I booked another one expecting the same level of service as before. This was not the case, first we received an email that our ship had been changed, not a problem. Then the day that we are to board we received another email ...

The cruise took in the countries we wanted to see. We did not realise how beautiful Germany and Austria are and how peaceful river cruising is. We had booked a deluxe balcony cabin which was a bit bigger than the balcony cabins. All of the staff were amazing and were happy to engage with the passengers. The captain and crew did some fantastic sailing in difficult conditions due to flooding we ...

Do you like 5 star luxury? Well scenic jewels of Europe is for you. Our trip started with business class flights from Melbourne to Budapest via Frankfurt. Once we were greeted and transported to our spaceship we were elevated into our new home for the next 2 weeks. We were on the diamond deck with a junior balcony suite, whilst the room was nicely appointed our balcony was partially obstructed by ...

people have told me what a wonderful time they had had with this company, we were not disappointed. at all times the service was 100% with a smile & can do it immediately. the food was also excellent at all times. the organisation of our onshore tours was professional at each port of call. on board information re the next day tours, the water level etc was constantly updated for us to ...

We decided to try Scenic after seeing many episodes on the TV travel show "Getaway" focusing on their river cruises. We have done many ocean cruises but only 1 river cruise which was with Viking. The TV show certainly made it look much more desirable than it was in reality. The ship was lovely, well maintained with plenty of room both in the suites and around the ship. The butler service to all ...

Before the cruise, whenever we called, the people were always friendly and helpful. We told them we're staying an extra 3 nights in Zurich, but they couldn't take us to the hotel because it's wasn't a partner hotel, which is fair enough. But they also couldn't take us to a partner hotel and let us walk to our hotel. They also wouldn't take us to the Zurich airport unless we had a flight AND we ...

We choose this cruise to celebrate my wife's 80th birthday We were on the 3rd deck Veranda suite at rear and could not sleep for motor noise. It was very unfortunate that a flu type bug went through the boat day two, people were coughing everywhere we were both really affected and missed a couple of days excursions, no assistance from staff or medication available. The regimented dining ...

This was our first river cruise and first time traveling post-COVID. Scenic exceeded our expectations. Service was excellent. Staff could not have been more attentive. Having several tour choices in each port was a treat. Salzburg luncheon and show was held in an eye opening location, just like the movie. Concert at Palais LIchtenstein was the highlight of the cruise. All meals were varied ...

We were situated in a cabin towards the back of the ship subject to noise and vibration whilst sailing during the night. Scenic staff were reluctant to address the issue with any urgency (the passenger in the cabin opposite spent 3 nights sleeping in the lounge before being moved, we were moved after 4 nights - why have to wait?). Same story at reception "There are no free cabins", which was ...
