Scenic River Scenic Azure Cruise Reviews

The Scenic Portugal crew is an exceptional team of professionals. Without a doubt, they have set the gold standard for luxury cruising. At the moment we boarded the ship, the crew called us family, a term they are passionate about expressing in every way. From the endless smiles to the kind words and the special human touches, we felt cared for and appreciated by all crew members. Because of ...

Over many years my wife and I have been able to river cruise several times on the rivers of Europe. This was our first experience cruising with Scenic. Ten days on Scenic's Azure cruising Portugals Douro was more than memorable. We found it difficult to fault any aspect of our trip....we simply could not. Everything & everyone....from the Captain,the restaurant staff, to "suite butlers" made our ...

Friends invited us to join them on this cruise. Had the most wonderful cruise. Everything was first class. Food , service , ship , crew , tours. Have cruised on European rivers before but this company is a class above. A bit more expensive than some others but the value is definitely there. Staff could not do enough for us and all were super friendly. Such luxury and being spoilt by all the crew ...

We have recently returned from our eighth Scenic river cruise (some we have done twice) and again we went with high expectations. Scenic not only lived up to our expectations but exceeded them as they always have on all our cruises. What a wonderful cruise, the ship is beautiful, the food wonderful, staff were fantastic and we were looked after extremely well. We chose this cruise again as last ...

I had travelled with Scenic some 14 years ago and always fancied the Duoro trip.I booked one year in advance as cabins sell quickly on this premium product. I chose a junior suite which is slightly larger with an extended balcony area. The balcony is excellent with plenty of room and is enclosed until you lower the electric sliding window.The room is extremely well appointed with everything you ...

We left from Porto for an 8 day cruise. Ines and Filipe were great, knowledgeable guides of the areas we visited. Filipe always did an announcement before we embarked for any tour (which we never saw on any of the cruises before) and he was so organized when it came to having people on the buses. The younger tour guide, Renata - needs some more training as to how to guide with the older and ...

Our long awaited trip exceeded our expectations. We traveled with 10 members of our family and had a fabulous time. The crew on the Azure was outstanding. The Scenic Azure is an all Portuguese crew and they were wonderful! Knowledgeable, kind, helpful, funny only partially describes this great team. The pre-river portion in Lisbon had some beautiful tours such as Sintra and Geronimo. Our guide ...

This was an amazing trip . Scenic arranged the whole package door to door and it all ran very smoothly. On time & very comfortable transfers . Superb hotel in Lisbon - The Epic Sana Marques . The tours throughout were very well organised . We particularly enjoyed the excursion to Quinta Aveleda Every single crew member onboard Scenic Azure is absolutely outstanding and they made this ...

This was our second cruise, and second with Scenic; the holiday fully justified our decision to travel with them again. Almost everything about the trip was perfect, from airport transfers at the start through to the final day. The ship, Scenic Azure, was in excellent condition; the public areas were always clean (and kept clean throughout the day). Our balcony suite was comfortable, ...

The ship is updated, clean and the staff are friendly and accommodating. That said, I have a few safety concerns for anyone even with slight mobility issues. There are no grab bars in/around the shower. Although the ship is relatively stable on the river, there are occasional movements (locks/docking) that could cause one to lose their balance. The ship has multiple outlets (only ...
