This was our 4th river cruise with Scenic which we tried after having done a dozen ocean cruises with various cruise lines but mostly holland America. Previous cruises with Scenic were outstanding and we (1) wanted to see this part of France, and (2) were confident that Scenic would deliver a memorable experience.

The meals in the Crystal Dining Room were excellent. Very high end with portions that were just the right size. Food did not go to waste with leftovers, due large portions, thrown away. The chef did a great job on a daily basis of restocking with local lproduce that made each meal memorable.

The included excursions were well done. The guides were fluent both in their language and their assigned area of guiding. It was very informative. Perhaps the best tour was the walking tour of Paris. We had previously been to Paris and had taken the hop on - hop off bus tours and thought we knew our away around the highlights. The walking tour took us just a couple of blocks inward from the main roads and exposed a whole better understanding of the offerings and what else was there just off the beaten track.
