Scenic River Lisbon Cruise Reviews

This was an amazing trip . Scenic arranged the whole package door to door and it all ran very smoothly. On time & very comfortable transfers . Superb hotel in Lisbon - The Epic Sana Marques . The tours throughout were very well organised . We particularly enjoyed the excursion to Quinta Aveleda Every single crew member onboard Scenic Azure is absolutely outstanding and they made this ...

We heard positive reviews of Scenic, but this cruise was better than expectations. We began with the precruise in Lisbon, where we had a nice review of the city and met a small group from our cruise (@ 20 people). This group consisted of some of the most interesting and fun people we've met, and we became friends quickly. Once on the ship, not only did we meet more interesting passengers, but ...

We chose this cruise only because friends we met on Uniworld had booked and we wanted to do a Douro River cruise. They had done a Scenic River cruise before and thought it was better than Uniworld. In our opinion, not the case at all, except perhaps the tour guides and evening entertainment. We never received final paperwork and fllow up by our TA had 0 responses. The ship design and decor ...

After signing up over 2 years ago and after having had to cancel twice, we finally made it. It was definitely worth it. The ship was clean and well maintained. The suite was nicely appointed and was well planned for storing all our stuff. The food was amazing no matter where we chose to eat . The staff was exceptional. Not a grumpy person among them. They were a so cheery and helpful all ...

The crew on Scenic Azure were literally fantastic. This was billed as a five star cruise and I must say it was truly six star cruising. We are experienced and regular cruisers on both ocean and river, and we have never been treated so well on any cruise or by and cruise company. The answer was yes - before the question asked. The Douro has the most lovely scenery and the quality of the ...

We had traveled with Scenic once before. It was a delightful and memorable experience. We were entertained, wined and dined to our hearts' delight. What more could anybody ask for? The crew was capable, informed and personable. The food was exquisite and varied and the wines paired with the food very well. The breads, desserts and pastries were baked on the ship so were as fresh as possible and ...

The cruise and staff overall were great with efficient transfers and well organised tours. The staff did their best to provide support and information when necessary. The supply of special dietary need could have been better organised and there was significant waiting for special types of food, which sometimes never turned up. The cabin was well positioned, spacious and well maintained ...

I had no expectation of the cruise before departure. Embarkation and disembarkation were very well processed. The entire cruise went like clock-work. The ship was very clean and cabins, restaurants, lounge are well configured. The cabin was meticulously set out. There was nothing that was missing. All facilities were catered for. Dining areas were well equipped and dining staff were ...

We have cruised with Scenic Tours before and they have always paid a lot of attention to detail. Each shore excursion is planned out to the infinite detail, but if you want to do your own thing then that is fine as well. All the cabins are well appointed with the majority having their own balcony. The beds are like sleeping on a cloud. The room service is of a very high standard. Every ...

Previous experience during a cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam suggested that there was no point in choosing any other river cruise operator than Scenic. Our experience on the Duoro cruise confirmed that conclusion. There were differences. The often mountainous Duoro landscape has more in common with the fjords of Norway than the pretty 'castles on the Rhine' but that only adds to the ...
