We chose Scenic as we were looking for a cruise that was 100% all inclusive. It turned out to be the right decision as we never once had to pull out our wallet. The only additional cost was a massage! Scenic lived up to everything we expected. Rooms were excellent and the addition of a small balcony was great on mornings when we wanted room service rather than eating at the restaurant. Food was very good with incredible selection. Tours had enough variety that it appeared there was something for everyone.

For people considering a river cruise for the first time here are some pointers that I was not aware of and had I known it would have made the experience even better:

1. Don't take the top deck for a room if you are travelling in the summer. Air Conditioning works better on the lower level. Rooms closer to the back of the boat are louder due to the engine. If you like white noise then they are great. Rooms closer to the front you hear everyone passing your room.

Cabin Review

Included in the diamond deck was room service, laundry service and pressing of clothes. Great rooms

We toured the city. Not alot of time as we were headed for the airport.

Scenic does a private concert. This was the highlight of Vienna!
