Wonderful cruise !
"The next day we were bussed to the river but we were unable to go to Constantia on the Black Sea because the Danube River level was too low.We continued to have worries about the low water level and eventually we were stopped by local police and unable to go any further about 80km before Budapest...."Read More

Our cruise started in Bucharest, Romania, where we went on a four day tour of Transylvania before our cruise. this tour was very good and we highly recommend that people do this if you have the time. We visited some beautiful towns and castles in the mountainous centre of Romania. After returning to Bucharest, we joined the rest of the guests for dinner in the Marriott. The next day we were bussed ...

We chose this cruise to round off our European river cruises collection with Scenic. This was cruise number eight for us and we have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. We were a bit spoilt by the first one as it was a cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam visiting several wonderful Christmas Markets along the way. The only thing missing was some festive snow. However, our cruise director came over ...

This would be our 4th cruise with Scenic and this time, to an area we'd not seen before. The trip down the Danube took us to seven different countries over 16 days, 5 of which we'd not seen before. The river ports and inland sites we visited were interesting and the tour guides were great at giving background information and history of the city and country or the particular point of interest. ...

We chose this short cruise as a taster for river cruising having spent many outstanding holidays on ocean cruises. The crew were excellent. However, the Scenic Ruby built in 2009 and updated in 2019 is at best a 4 star ship. The decor is a matter of personal taste, so cannot objectively be criticised, however our panorama suite at £1,500 per night... was a huge disappointment. No amount of ...

My wife and I wanted to return to Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna and Scenic offered this ideal river cruise. This was our first one with Scenic and truly every aspect of the cruise was All Inclusive. The attention of the crew was outstanding and amazingly quickly many of them named us. The cabin was extremely well appointed and for us the availability of a table for two in the restaurant ...

We chose it as it was the best way to go to all the places we wanted to go and see all the most amazing places we did. Everything was planned out so well plus you get free time to do your own thing and spend more time looking around all the most beautiful buildings and quant little towns. there is so much to see and at least 4 different options to pick from every day, and if you decided to stay ...

We chose Scenic as we had not travelled with them before and we had heard great reviews from previous travellers. Food and staff on the Ruby were excellent. We missed specialist dining in designated restaurant - seems to have been cut out. Lack of entertainment in evenings was very disappointing. There was a piano on the ship, it was never played. No library or games area for wet day ...

We chose Scenic as they are one of the few that are genuinely all inclusive. Alcohol flows all day, as does food and all gratuities are covered by Scenic. You really don’t spend a cent from the time you step on board, unless you choose to shop in the towns. This aspect was definitely as advertised. The staff were amazing in all aspects, faultless in fact. The excursions ran smoothly thanks ...

I was visiting the UK to wind up my business and to catch up with family and friends. This particular cruise fitted with my schedule. I chose Scenic because they seem to offer a more luxurious. However I had some difficulty in completing my booking online and had to use the help of Flight Centre to Complete the booking. Initially Scenic informed me that the disembarkation was on the 27th June at ...

I hate large cruise ships with thousands of people on board as I hate crowds. Therefore we chose the 8 day Scenic Cruise Rhine Highlights to see if we did enjoy cruising. The ships itself was pure luxury, the staff were so friendly and experienced where nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was fantastic and as I am 'gluten free' they went out of their way to make sure I made the ...
