Scenic River Luxury Cruises Reviews

We have cruised with Scenic several times over the years and our views maybe influenced by better times. That said we thoroughly enjoyed this trip but there were definite signs of "economising" and unless they careful they will just become one of the pack. Pros - Service was generally good although at times restaurant staff showed signs of inexperience. The onboard entertainment was excellent ...

This review is mainly about river boat cabins, and how size is far from everything. That will be in the cabin review section below. In short, the bulk of cabins on the Scenic Sapphire, and most if not all Scenic river boats, are classified as Balcony Suites. They are cramped and not very well-designed. Most other things about the cruise were very good. In particular the shore excursions ...

A Rhone cruise seemed the best way to explore this area of France. Scenic are not cheap but are all inclusive so there's no need to spend any money if you don't want to. Scenic set high standards - equivalent to a five star hotel but informal - smart casual is as good as it gets for evening dining. This cruise delivered what it said it would. The captain was excellent - visible and ...

Value for money and the all-inclusive nature of the cruise. Meals, extra food, drinks, local tours and most 'before and after arrangements'; all the things taken care of so that we could concentrate on total enjoyment of our time on board and on land. Ship was an impressive sight and was maintained spotlessly throughout the cruise. Staff were excellent in every way; attentive, caring, generous ...

We were anxious to experience The Rhône Valley...... the antiquities, wine, food, people and culture. Unfortunately; we spent to little time in port to fully explore the area. We cruised through out the day after a few hours in port with the sun deck closed must of the time. We would recommend more free time in port while cruising in the evening and through the night. The food was excellent, ...

Having done two previous cruises with Scenic, it was our logical choice for a European holiday. Our travel consultant dealt with Scenic and sorted out flights etc which all went smoothly. We arrived two days earlier and were put into Scenic's choice of hotel Sofitel Lyon Definitely not five stars as graded. The next problem was receiving an email from our travel consultant the morning of the ...

SCENIC TOURS are in a class of their own in providing QUALITY + Value for Money ! Conscientious/diligent Staff ( & Crew) attend to your every need on board the Vessel with unstinting pleasantry - which is a delight to behold especially for elderly travellers. Only downside ( due to popularity of River cruising ) , there are multiple variety of ships competing for " Mooring Berths " @ each ...

Spectacular: Ground Transportation: Pick up @ the CDG airport. The Scenic Driver was waiting for us and gave us a descriptive tour of Paris along the way to the Scenic Sapphire. TGV train from Paris to Dijon was well organized. Transfer to the Le Meridian by bus was excellent. Transfer to the Nice airport @ 4.25am was timely and professional. We really appreciate that! Land ...

We had been on a Scenic river cruise last year on the Rhine which we had enjoyed very much and booked a Rhone cruise for this year immediately on ur return I would say the Rhine cruise is more enjoyable, with more interesting sights, but the standard of this year's cruise was well up to the year before. The cabin crew and the sailing staff are first-class and really put themselves out to be ...

Recommendation of friends who were on their third SCenic cruise. This was my second SCenic river cruise so, obviously compared it with the Danube cruise I went on last year. It was a good experience (not quite as good as the DAnube cruise I did last year)? The entertainment was good but only for two nights, the rock group was excellent, a great night. the Pope's palace concert good as was the ...
