Scenic River Scenic Opal River Cruises Reviews

Budapest to Amsterdam but we had to switch to the Opal in Nuremberg from the Emerald Sky due to low water. This was the first time the Scenic company had made such a switch upgrading the cruise. The Opal is a higher end ship compared to the Emerald Sky. More luxurious with larger rooms, a higher number of crew and different dining options. Our cruise director Dawn worked hard to arrange and ...

We have taken 2 ocean cruises in the past. We didn't know what to expect on a river cruise. We had never heard of Scenic before. We booked the Charming Castles and Vineyards and will never travel with any other cruise line but Scenic. They exceeded our expectations. When they say luxury, they mean it. They also say to leave your wallet at home because you won't need to pay for anything ...

We arrived 2 days ahead of departure to explore Amsterdam. Beautiful city with very colourful houses and canals everywhere. Public transit was amazing-train station, subway streetcars and buses everywhere. The Royal Owner's Suite was incredible. Seating area, wine fridge, king size adjustable bed, walk-in closet, amazing bathroom with tub, double vanities, rain shower, balcony with roll-down ...

I loved this particular cruise, my only complaint, it wasn't long enough! What I love about my Scenic experience is how pampered and relaxed I feel with every aspect of the cruising experience. From the moment I arrive on the dock and my luggage is taken from me until I depart for my final destination on the last morning I don't have to think of a single thing and yet everything I could ...

We wanted to see this part of the world was the reason we chose this cruise We have travelled with Scenic before and they never disappoint. Their ships are modern, have plenty of space in the dining and lounge areas and upper deck where you can relax and watch the world go by. Great ships, staff and crew who go over and beyond for their passengers. All crew are professional and friendly ...

This cruise was spectacular from beginning to end. From the welcome to the departure, we were treated like royalty. Staff was the most professional, friendly, accommodative group of people we’ve ever met. Food was spectacular - always plenty of choices, great wines accompanying every meal. The guest makeup provided for lively conversation every meal or gave you the option to dine alone. Nice mix ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to get the maximum exposure to Europe. We booked this 23 day cruise from Bucharest to Amsterdam with Scenic because we expected the very best in excursions, food and accommodations with everything included and Scenic delivered. We had great excursions for 21 of the 23 days, all included. There were numerous choices for each destination, all of them ...

The whole crew do everything in their power to ensure that everything goes smoothly and provide exceptional service, 5 star meals, snacks and many extra touches that really makes it a 5 star experience. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The optional activities are well thought out and handled very professionally. Can't fault them in any area. Top class. The whole experience from booking ...

Wonderful cruise. Only 2nd one post Covid closure and the crew and staff couldn’t do enough for us. Absolutely wonderful job they did. Everything looked after including Mercedes taxi from home to airport. Super clean cabin, with butler. Replenished drinks fridge twice a day ( included in price). Three fantastic meals - buffet breakfast and lunch and three course waiter dinner. Everything ...

We chose this cruise due to the Switzerland extension before hand and the great reviews of Scenic. The extension was amazing. We eventually got on the Scenic Opal in Basal and began our cruise down the Rhine. The ship was perfect. Very clean, modern, and welcoming. The cruise director (Andreea) was waiting to welcome us aboard and was always available to answer any question or solve any ...
