Scenic River Scenic Gem River Cruises Reviews

The Paris and Normandy destinations was what we were drawn to. But having the scenic gem being all inclusive was such a big draw for us. The staff in both the restaurant and bar went above and beyond in the service The daily tours were well managed and very informative. I really enjoyed the Monet gardens. Also the Canadian Juno site was really interesting and very well managed for the time ...

Everything about this cruise from Paris - Honfleur - Paris was excellent, with the exception of the food at dinner. Superb staff that are welcoming, efficient, kind and always ready to offer assistance. Public areas, cabin and bathroom very well designed for space and comfort. Thoughtful amenities in the cabins such as hiking sticks and water bottles. Good entertainment offering on the cabin ...

We had sailed with Sceinic prior, and thought this trip Paris to Paris would be a wonderful experience. The staff were the best, and were very friendly. We arrived in Paris 4 days before we set sail and toured the city. Our embarkation went smoothly and swiftly. There were staff to greet us port side before entering the ship. Mandy ,our cruise director was very good and helped us in the ...

This cruise was chosen because of the itinerary which turned out to be as expected. The visits to WW1, WW2 Battlefuelds and Giverney were good. However the on-board experience was not as expected - overpromised but underdelivered. The 'personal butler' was hardly seen during the 10 day cruise and the services to be given by that person did not happen. Many people had difficulty with the ...

This was our second Scenic cruise. We did the Duoro river in Portugal last fall. We have also been on 3 Uniworld 1 Viking river cruise and an Avalon cruise. .This itinerary - Paris to Paris and the cruise length were ideal. As well, our previous experience with Viking was reason enough to go with them again. I had been cautioned by an acquaintance that the food on his Scenic cruise in Bordeaux ...

We got this cruise only a week prior to departure because our Viking cruise on the Elba was cancelled because of low water. Consequently, we ended up on the bottom level (floor 1), where there was no wi-fi; luckily my cellphone was able to track 4G/LTE signals most of the journey. We have been on several river cruises by other lines and this was at the top in dining and service. The cabin was ...

This was our first ever cruise and I so enjoyed it. The ship is amazing and the staff so professional. We only had one little draw-back that held me back from giving it a 5 star rating - dinner. We are simple folks and don’t do the starter, soup and entree style of dining and we felt we were almost punished for that. Three nights in a row, while dining with just each other, we were basically ...

As previous Scenic travelers we had no hesitation choosing another Scenic Cruise. Paris was everything we thought it would be. Vibrant, romantic etc. We stayed 1 night prior to embarkation on to the Scenic Gem where we had booked a Scenic Delux Balcony room on level 2. The cabin like the other Scenic ships is spacious & 5 star. All the crew made an effort in introducing themselves & nothing was ...

This was our second Scenic cruise. The previous one a few years ago was good although, to no avail, we objected to the requirement that we had to add on a three day tour at either end of the cruise in order to book and obtain a premium cabin on board. Overtones.. My view of Scenic after this cruise on the Gem and after paying nearly $2000 a day is that it is no longer value for money. The ship ...

Overall price of flights and river cruise. Good choice of excursions suitable for any fitness level, the local guides were very good all speaking English. Transfers to and from the Scenic Gem were very good, the overall organisation was very good. The Tour Director was excellent in keeping everyone informed of the day to day activities and any special dinners and outings. He always finished ...
