Europe - British Isles & Western Scenic Jasper Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews

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 ...

First time cruisers, wanted to do this cruise for years, decided to go up-market since we liked the idea of a smaller boat. Transfer arrangements worked well, all we had to do was be at the appointed time and place. Balcony cabin was more spacious than we expected and well designed with plenty of storage. Excellent sound insulation between cabins. Bed very comfortable and bigger than ...

I booked this cruise within 4 weeks of sailing and luckily I got the last cabin. I had liked what Scenic offered with their all inclusive pricing and had planned for over a year but ended up last minute booking it due to health issues. We were not disappointed. Everything was great, food, service, wines, staff and excursions. The entertainment on board just hit the right level for us. We were ...

Boat: Jasper: Scenic Luxury River Cruise (Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam) a 5 star cruise! I want to know, who made up the daily menus? No one that is familiar with fine cuisine. Food will make or break a company. Mess up with food, and repeat customers will not return. This company needs hire a couple of trained Chefs to make up a decent modern menu and then train the kitchen staff ...

After being very warmly welcomed by front desk staff, we started to learn about river cruising. Our cabin was very comfortable (Deluxe Balcony on Diamond Deck) with all the amenities you could ever want. Lots of on-screen entertainment options, so we re-watched some Bond films over the evenings. On Scenic Jasper, the Crystal Dining Room is the only actual dining room. Portobello’s is a small ...

A beautiful boat cruising to some great places . The food is excellent , the staff are friendly and always helpful . We couldn't fault the food quality ,the portions at first seemed small but were actually perfect,the captains table was a highlight ,the Italian restaurant less so ,quite big portions and not as good as the main restaurant ,but again the staff were great. The wines on the ...

Our friends whom have been on several other scenic cruises including this one highly recommended it to us and we will also recommend it others. The staff was friendly and helpful in a genuine way, not forced. Katerina was a lot of fun, we appreciated Hunor’s brilliant wit. We especially enjoyed Bagus, Hillman and Madea. They got to know us quickly and our preferences. Such nice men! The ...

We sailed on Scenic Jasper from Budapest to Amsterdam in late May 2023. This was our first river cruise and first experience with Scenic after having taken numerous ocean cruises with many different cruise lines. We have read numerous Cruise Critic reviews and note that prior to COVID, Scenic received mostly positive 5-star reviews, including from many friends who had previously sailed with ...

Saved up for a once in a lifetime river cruise to have it cut short by getting Covid. The ship is very nice the staff are also very nice however they need to prioritize their customers health. There were no covid protocols as a matter of fact they said Covid was no longer an issue but if you self tested positive you would have to quarantine for 5 days so the implication was (don't test). From day ...

We sailed from Budapest to Amsterdam on Scenic Jasper departing April 24, 2023. We were very excited about our first river cruise. It was a lovely experience. However, we didn't feel Scenic lived up to all of the hype it gets as a 5-Star cruise line. I'm not sure what kind of high tech gadgets they're talking about having. They didn't even have USB outlets in the cabins. The app we used on our ...
