Having travelled by car throughout France for over 35 years and visited the places on the tour, this cruise gave us a totally different experience of places we thought we knew. For example the Popes Palace concert and dinner was fabulous and just for us. The city/town/places of interest tours with such knowledgeable guides took us to areas we would never have found. Absolutely brilliant.
We knew the boat, staff and dining would be first class from previous Scenic holidays and we were not disappointed. Cabins are very comfortable, serviced several times a day, your butler is always available and the balcony is a wonderful additional space. The lounge and sundeck are superb with waiters always on hand. All inclusive means ALL inclusive.
The staff on Sapphire smile. Nothing is too much trouble. All are so caring and thoughtful. To name just a few:- Andreea managed our cruise with such professionalism but also with her own personal touches. Katie, entertainment manager, has such energy and her love of people shines through no matter what she is doing. Dining was a real pleasure made even better by Luigi's presence.
Clean. comfortable, spacious for a river boat, well serviced, fridge restocked with our choices every day, good quality towels and robes and ample storage - cases stow away under bed which is a v good idea.
