Scenic River Scenic Jasper Cruise Reviews for River to Europe - River

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 chose scenic as they are supposed to be one of the best. So, the positives - NIce looking ship, cabins comfortable if a little small, good bathrooms, - Staff on the whole are excellent and work very hard. - Pleasant lounge area. -Good selection of excursions. - Good entertainment when there was some.

Scenic Jasper - Jewels of Europe cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest 30/9 (not 25/9) We chose Scenic as they are supposed to be one of the best and this bucket list trip was a treat for my husband who had just celebrated his 70th birthday. First of all, let me say that it is a very nice-looking ship and obviously quite new with nice décor and furnishings. WE had a balcony cabin which was very ...

Advertising led expectations that were not fulfilled. 1. Never docked near any major city attraction, 2. Going over and through other boats at dockside was difficult, 3. Long walks to buses which delivered you at great distances from your attraction. 4. Cabins very small. Limited storage space for clothing 5. Staff excellent, very attentive 6. Food spotty at times 7. ...

Due to a lock closure, we were transferred from Jasper to Ruby from a deluxe balcony suite to a balcony suite. We found a cheque from Scenic on our return home without a covering letter and were disappointed with the amount since it was far smaller than the one received from Emerald (this was for a much smaller inconvenience caused by low water levels in 2015). The suite on the Jasper was very ...

Cruise had a great crew especially the Cruise Director, Richard Grey. Hotels in Prague and Budapest were good and well positioned in their cities. Food and service were good. Our guide in Prague was especially good. The Tailor Made devices are a good idea but don't work consistently. Scenic and all other cruise companies were impacted by low water levels on the Danube and although we were ...

An acquaintance recommended Scenic to me. We chose the Danube cruise with the Prague extension. Our first problem was arriving at Frankfurt airport: there was a holiday in Germany and as a result three long delays to get to our gate, so we missed our flight. Then Prague was unseasonably cold and many of us were not dressed for it. We had many upsides in Prague. The breakfast buffet was really ...

We had to join this boat after spending some 8 hours transferring from the Jade to join Jasper. So we had an early start to go to Salzburg and then onto see the Sounds of Music show up in the mountains, that said we had very little time to explore Saltzburg which was a shame, it was rushed, The actual show was better than the previous show we experienced at Marksburg Castle, more ...

We were given a recommendation by our travel agaent to try this cruise line for the Danube River cruise. We have done a lot of ocean cruising so this was our first river cruise. I was shocked at how expensive it was. We arrived in Prague and only then did we hear that we would not be sailing from Nuremberg. We did do a 4 hour guided walking tour the first day. No meals other then breakfast were ...
