"It was offered on a day when everything went wrong and nobody was back to the ship until after 7:15, so dinner was pushed to 8:15 which is too late for most of us.We don’t understand why it would be necessary to order dessert at the same time as the meal, but it was requested that we do so every day...."Read More

1-10 of 16 Europe - British Isles & Western Scenic Jasper Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews
After being very warmly welcomed by front desk staff, we started to learn about river cruising. Our cabin was very comfortable (Deluxe Balcony on Diamond Deck) with all the amenities you could ever want. Lots of on-screen entertainment options, so we re-watched some Bond films over the evenings.
On Scenic Jasper, the Crystal Dining Room is the only actual dining room. Portobello’s is a small ...
A beautiful boat cruising to some great places .
The food is excellent , the staff are friendly and always helpful .
We couldn't fault the food quality ,the portions at first seemed small but were actually perfect,the captains table was a highlight ,the Italian restaurant less so ,quite big portions and not as good as the main restaurant ,but again the staff were great.
The wines on the ...
We sailed from Budapest to Amsterdam on Scenic Jasper departing April 24, 2023. We were very excited about our first river cruise. It was a lovely experience. However, we didn't feel Scenic lived up to all of the hype it gets as a 5-Star cruise line. I'm not sure what kind of high tech gadgets they're talking about having. They didn't even have USB outlets in the cabins. The app we used on our ...
This cruise was highly recommended by several friends who had done many scenic and other cruises. Obviously scenic came out on top and this was the cruise we chose - with absolutely no regrets. The fact that we had to change ships because of low water levels only added to the adventure. The next down side was the comparison of ships. The Jasper was every bit as luxurious as anticipated, but the ...
We loved the length of the trip...18 days. When you have a long flight you want a long itinerary. The staff was friendly and attentive. Most of the excursions were top notch. Staff was constantly at work to make sure everything was as clean as possible.
Musicians and dancers who were brought onboard were very talented and we enjoyed them very much. Unfortunately the dance floor is so tiny ...
Friends choose this cruise. The ship was in very good condition, and the rooms were large for a river cruise and well laid out, shower was good sized.
Good points regarding the cruise:
Good ports and high quality excursion guides
Breakfast and Lunch were easy to serve yourself and there was an abundance of food
The local entertainment on the ship was well done, offered on 2 ...
Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to review and for your constructive feedback.
We sorry to hear that other elements of your cruise weren’t up to the expected standards, we will...
We chose this cruise because we had sailed on Scenic before and had a memorable experience. This particular cruise was a adventure. We were warned prior to the cruise that there was low water levels on the Danube and we might have to do a transfer which was fine. On September 22 we were given notice that the ship would not procede past Regensburg and there was a option for passengers to return ...
This is our second cruise on Scenic. We cruised on the Scenic Amber last year down the Danube and it was wonderful. This years cruise on the Jasper down the Rhine was very good BUT......... not as good as last year. Last year Scenic used their own buses for the entire cruise. This year the contracted out to local bus companies. The service was spotty. Some were very good and right on time, some ...
This was our first taste of river cruising and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We met many new friends on the cruise from different countries and hope to keep in touch. The Jasper ship was very comfortable and luxurious. Bathrooms were spacious and great water pressure and hot water! Our assigned butler for our suite was even able to provide a one time complimentary laundry service: picked up ...
We wanted a five star experience to celebrate our birthdays and wedding anniversary. The decor and rooms lived up to our expectations. Clean and modern designs. The staff overall were attentive and helpful.
What let the experience down was the food. It was not five star or near, at times the food was served cold or just warm not hot. Presentation of food could have been more imaginative ...
