Scenic River Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food from Paris

Our Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest was wonderful, the ship was beautiful, the cruise director Richard was just amazing as was his off-sider Andree. The staff on the ship were brilliant, from the cabin butlers to the food waiters. We had to change ships halfway through the cruise due to water levels and went to the Ruby. Staff on both ships were very good but I must say the food on the Ruby ...

Chose the cruise after seeing Getaway on TV and thought a it’s be great to spend some time in one area without unpacking The cruise exceeded our expectations from the staff to food and quality and choices of excursions including electric bikes! Yvonne the cruise director is sensational at holding it all together with great humour and a zest to make our stay the best holiday one could ...

In choosing Scenic Cruises all our research was worth it, and so much more. We traveled on the Scenic Jade on the Jewels of Europe with Prague and Paris. Room the Junior Balcony Suite. Being cheeky I was going to elaborate on my many problems on our cruise. Firstly I put on 4kg as I couldn’t stop eating the food. The food was buffet and off a menu. If you wanted more, get more. You basically ...

Not 5 Star We took a chance on Scenic Luxury Cruises for The Spectacular South of France tour because they promoted themselves as an all-inclusive, 5-star, luxury cruise line. The ports were ok, but it seems like there should have been some nicer villages to dock at along the way. We had one included tour per port. The tours were mostly disappointing. For example, the Truffle Farm did not ...

Everything is possible on this cruise. The officers and crew on board are very friendly and helpful. The drinks and food are all very good. The outings are thoughtfully planned with consideration of the capabilities of the guests. While most of the guests are retired and generally senior in nature, many are very friendly and became friends towards the end of the trip. The most interesting nature ...

We have just returned from Scenic Tours’ Spectacular South of France river cruise. This was our fourth river cruise with Scenic and it was every bit as enjoyable as the previous three. The crew on the Scenic Sapphire could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Our room was cleaned perfectly every morning and every evening by our wonderful room maid, Gabi. The waiters in the lounge ...

We toured with Avalon last year on the Danube and had a wonderful experience. So we decided to go with Scenic expecting an even higher level of service. The Scenic Diamond is a relatively new ship with all amenities. The service on board was above and beyond at every level. Sadly, the two most important parts of the on-board experience came up short. The food and wines were nowhere near the level ...

I had done the Rhine River Cruise before and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one was equally as brilliant but maybe a little less “hectic”. A joy from beginning to end. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and professional. The food was exceptional. The scenery and tours were all first class, five star all the way! Everything was so well organised that you knew every day exactly what time to ...

Travel agent recommended. Everything was wonderful. We enjoyed the room very much except for the septic odour that was prevalent on a number of occasions and the lighting, which was not very good, especially for the application of make-up. The cleaning staff did an excellent job of taking care of any requests we had and tried on a number of occasions to get rid of the door, with some success ...

We chose this cruise because we were going to explore the wine regions of Bordeaux and area. We were also interested in the culinary classes. We were also very interested in the bike tours. We began the trip in Paris. I highly recommend that you start the tour by spending a few extra days in Paris. There is so much to do and see and one day is far from enough time. We rode the train to ...
