Cruise Termed 7 days into the 14 day trip

None of the experience with the ship, shore excursions or food can make up for having the 14 day cruise planned from Budapest to Amsterdam terminated after 7 days and then being left in an unplanned city with no assistance The Danube had been rising over the first few days and then at dinner on day 5 we were told the cruise would end 36 hours later in Passau, we were all to vacate the ship by 8 am ...

Our third cruise with Scenic having hugely enjoyed previous ones. We went as a party of 6 friends/relatives flying from Humberside via Amsterdam. Although this was the very last cruise of the season the staff were still brilliant - cheerful, helpful, prepared to go the extra mile. The only slight disappointment was that there was not a resident pianist like we'd had on a previous cruise - Tony ...

Impossible to fault. Staff so helpful and unfailingly polite. Excellent varied programme, both on board and excursions well planned and led. Dining throughout cruise was of such a high standard and offered so much variety. Staff always prepared to go that extra mile. Full marks to cruise director as quality comes from the top and the highest of standards were maintained throughout. Excursion ...

The Scenic Portugal crew is an exceptional team of professionals. Without a doubt, they have set the gold standard for luxury cruising. At the moment we boarded the ship, the crew called us family, a term they are passionate about expressing in every way. From the endless smiles to the kind words and the special human touches, we felt cared for and appreciated by all crew members. Because of ...

We have always wanted to do a river cruise and the Rhine River cruise of 8 days seemed perfect. We arrived in Zurich the day before the cruise left, which we would recommend. Scenic found us the lovely hotel. The pick up to take us to the Basel, Switzerland departure was very well organized. We had a lovely welcome when we arrived on board the ship by cruise director, Richard. He was amazing. ...

Extremely Disappointed on Scenic

We heard Scenic offered a level of luxury and service that just did not deliver. We selected this cruise due to the itinerary and timeframe. Their guide communication system just flat out does not work but they insisted on continuing to use it. This was very frustrating and wasted considerable time. They need to go back to the VOX system used by other cruise lines. The excursions were very ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Wanting to avoid the health issues of some of the larger cruises, I chose this cruise because it was advertised as a small ship with not too many passengers. My travelling partner and I were told by our agent that there would be about 80 passengers. There were 180 passengers aboard ship. The staff was magnificent, always smiling, always wanting to go the extra mile except when it came to illness. ...

My husband and I chose this cruise as we throughly enjoyed our Christmas Cruise on the Rhine last year, it was so fantastic that when a sale came up on the River cruises I booked another one expecting the same level of service as before. This was not the case, first we received an email that our ship had been changed, not a problem. Then the day that we are to board we received another email ...

This was our second river cruise. In 2018, we booked Scenic for a Danube cruise from Nuremberg to Budapest. We had an excellent time despite low water levels in some parts of the river during that trip. This recent trip began with a single night extension in Paris at the Edouard 7 Hotel. This hotel was beautiful and in the heart of the Opera District. The Scenic Gem is a beautiful ship although ...
