Friends recommended. This was our first Scenic Cruise. The cruise was excellent overall and the service, food, drinks were particularly noteworthy. Everything was very nicely and efficiently organized and there were no hick ups. It was always nice to see the face of Joyce who was the person in charge of hospitality, every time we came back from a land-tour or went to the dining room. Similarly ...

Vietnam and Cambodia were a Fantastic experience. Embarkations and disembarkation went very smoothly, no problems whatsoever. Everything was extremely well organized. Our tour guide, Hoan, was top notch. We learned so much from him and Dara. The excursions were fantastic. Hotels were 5 star. We felt safe and looked after at all times. Our fellow travellers were great. Service on board was just ...

Relaxed way to travel,with not living out of a suitcase. Scenery was spectacular and seeing how the people live on the river was amazing. Staff on the Scenic Spirit were very warm and welcoming, they attended to my dietary needs with utmost importance and nothing was a bother to them. Our tour director Thuy was amazing in her kindness and knowledge about the country, she always greeted us with an ...

To visit Vietnam and Cambodia. Saw only a limited area of each country. Cruise was great. Guides were fantastic. Got to understand more about each country. Visits to war memorials were very informative. Felt very safe. Cambodians so friendly. Traffic is chaotic. Learning how to cross a road was a big education - not to hesitate when a motorbike is heading straight to you is a big mindset ...

Having travelled with Scenic in the past we decided to book our Myanmar trip with them and see the country before it gets too crowded. Firstly the Ship - the Aura. On initial inspection a lovely yacht type ship, nice entrance and ambiance but it does have some issues. The general feel is of spaciousness with only a max of 44 passengers, the bedoms are very nice with electric beds, lounge ...

We chose Scenic because they are all inclusive and their ship is small and modern, visiting ports we wanted to explore, Siem Reap to Saigon. We had high expectations and yet they were exceded on every count. The suites are spacious, luxurious and the designer seems to have thought of every detail. Ie usb ports by the bed, comfortable seating, a safe that was easy to see inside and the self ...

We chose this cruise as it was a part of Asia we had not visited before and included time in Ho Chi Minh and then Siem Reap to see the temples at Angkor Watt . A stopover of two nights in Singapore had been added as a booking inducement The Scenic Spirit is a purpose built Mekong River boat catering for around 84 guests with a range of cabins over three decks. The ship I understand is about a ...

We chose Scenic because we saw online reviews that listed them as one of the best in river cruising. We have been on Tauck and they were fantastic. The Scenic experience BEFORE the trip was pretty bad. Their web site was bad. The company repeatedly thought we hadn't entered excursion choices even though we had. The information was inaccurate and the final cruise documents we got didn't ...

Let's be fair. In absolute terms, the Scenic Spirit cruise down the Mekong was very pleasant and enjoyable. The Mekong is not a 'romantic' river of itself, with heavy commercial activity but travelling down it does facilitate access to a wide range of interesting and stimulating excursions. The ship, although just a year old, already shows signs of wear, with some obvious maintenance issues and ...
