Everything was top-notch about this cruise. The service was impeccable: everyone, and I mean everyone, treated you like the special customer you want to be, including much of the staff learning your name from the first day.
The food was consistently great, although not spectacular, and an good effort was made to make local food available at all meals. The variety and care taken on the ...
Our time in Myanmar was fantastic.
Having a day in Yangon prior to the tour was beneficial and we were rested and saw some different sites to those included.
The hotels prior to and after the cruise were excellent
Our tour guide, Tin Pa Pa Min was the best. She looked out for every hidden opportunity and was full of fascinating information.
On board Scenic Aura the staff were ...
Cruise was everything expected, and then more. Excursions were very good and showed us examples of life along the Mekong as well as providing interesting dining, both on the ship and off. Local restaurants chosen provided a good selection of local oriented food. Guides were very knowledgeable and communicated information well. Provided local perspectives on historical events. Small groups made it ...
Have been recommended by out travel agent.
I was disappointed by the lack of respect for my gluten free and dairy product diet onboard.
Every day, every meal, I should ask if it is correct for me, but most of the time, answers were approximative. At the mid-time of the cruise , I started some gastrointestinal discomfort wich are lasting until the end of the cruise.The information have been ...
This is a great way to see and experience Myanmar and to learn more of its history and its peoples. Scenic have wonderful people in their crew and as their Tour Guides. All locals and keen to educate about their culture. The Scenic Aura accommodates maximum 44 in 22 cabins (all more suites than rooms) and on our trip we had 33 pax and 38 crew. Could we be more pampered? The Inle Lake extension to ...
Had always wanted to visit Vietnam / Cambodia but wanted to do it guided.
had never been on a Scenic Cruise before but the “all inclusive” Scenic package really appealed. To be truthful I had no idea how all inclusive it would be but if you chose not to buy souvenirs or a drink in a bar when off ship then there was very little need to take cash. We budgeted for some spending but returned home ...
Myanmar on the Scenic Aura
21st Mar 19 -8th Apr 19
We have been on 3 previous river cruises with Scenic. The trip to Cambodia and Vietnam (see my previous review) was so good that we thought it could not be beaten. But the 18 day to Myanmar (including land addition) equalled, if not surpassed, that trip.
It really was difficult to find any ‘niggles’ so I’ll concentrate on the ...
More tourists should experience the culture and delightful people in this Country which needs to improve its economy and it infrastructure. The Scenic experience is second to none and the cabins, dining and services on the tour were exceptional. Many of our friends don’t know much about Myanmar and are now very interested in visiting this Country and are looking at a Scenic cruise down the ...
From the moment we were greeted, we knew this was going to be amazing. The staff were professional, personable and friendly. The boat is incredible, the largest rooms, most comfortable beds. The food was delicious. The excursions really touched on the life and history in Vietnam and Cambodia. Loved the all inclusive nature. They took care of everything. It was nice having on board washing machines ...
I'd been to Burma 21 years ago on business. And got arrested. And met the General running the country. But that's another story.
What I saw then made me want to return. So pleased I did, with my wife this time.
We are Scenic regulars and appreciate the fact they make a holiday effortless. And so it was this time on our Road from Mandalay on Aura. Yes, the song is road TO Mandalay - but we ...
