Scenic River Scenic Pearl Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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 travelled with Scenic previously and found them to be excellent - hence choosing them again for our Europenan adventure. The special inclusions Scenic have are second to none, providing opportunities for many different experiences - from private piano recitals in a castle, followed by a wonderful meal, to hiking through vineyards, and onboard musical recitals with world class ...

We are coming to the end of the Gems of the Danube river cruise. It has been absolutely fantastic. We came along to accompany my elderly parents and didn’t really know what to expect. It has far exceeded our expectations and those of my parents too. The ship is beautiful and incredibly well maintained. The staff are absolutely exceptional - this is by far the best customer service we’ve had in a ...

Friends of mine chose this cruise. They had also never cruised on Scenic. This was my third river cruise, the other two were with a competitor. Overall, an okay cruise, and that's all. Some great staff though mostly in the lounge. I don't understand at all what the butler does or how he differs from a cabin steward, or room service. I called him twice and he referred me elsewhere both ...

The absolute worst thing about this cruise is that Scenic apparently has a "don't ask, don't tell" policy with regards to COVID. I know that this issue has been politicized and that there is a broad spectrum of what people believe and are willing to do, but a total hands-off attitude is unacceptable to me. There is no testing required of passengers prior to boarding, either by the passengers or ...

Having done a lot of research river cruising we plumped for this itinerary travelling up the Rhine and then Danube, Amsterdam to Budapest. This was our first river cruise, having previously been on Ocean cruises. According to the advertisements it would tick all our boxes, alas that was not to be the case. We never considered that there would be low water levels that would disrupt the whole ...

I'm in my early 30s and most on this cruise were late 50s and above. We wanted to take one for it's ease of getting from City to city. Plus it included amazing food, premium beverages, excursions and tips. The service was great. I booked the cheapest fair room but was still treated on par as all other passengers. Not all of the excursions started in the morning there were a few days that started ...

We went with family, No children. Children would be board but it was great for adults. Our travel agent was amazing and helped us with the booking. Scenic looked after everything else. Hotel/airport transfers were done with high end buses and professionals. We stayed at the hotels recommended by scenic and were not disappointed. The meals were amazing. It sucks to be home and try to ...

We had never been on a river cruise before but travel extensively, almost always independently. But we decided we wanted to try this out based on all of the positive things we heard from friends. I did a bunch of research before selecting Scenic. They seemed to have the best features at the best price and excellent reviews, even though I didn't know anyone who had used them personally. We ...
