Scenic River Senior Cruises Reviews

After the Douro, the Seine and the Rhone, the Garonne etc. are a disappointment - ugly brown water (clean apparently) and rather dull landscape - not until you get out into the vineyards does it start to get pretty. Also some of the towns are a bit sad - the back streets of Libourne, for example, are to be avoided - full of beautiful but neglected, derelict houses and weeds pushing through the ...

Perfect time of the year to experience a river cruise. Not to hot and not to cool. Although the weather person got it all wrong. It was incredible weather in the mid 20's to highs of 32 Celsius, for the complete trip. Prague is incredible, 4 days was not enough, could have spent more time . This is one beautiful city that is hard to describe, one has to experience it first hand to get a ...

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 ...

Sailed on a 15 day cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Scenic Ruby on August 28th, 2023. Flights and everything booked through scenic. On the boat the food, drinks, staff were fantastic but delayed and cancelled flights at both ends cause lots of stress. Because it was a Sunday no calls to scenic were answered and we had to organize alternate flights ourselves with no help from scenic. Our ...

We chose this cruise because it was an area of France which we had always wanted to visit. We have sailed once before with Scenic on the Rhine and four times with the sister Company Emerald. We have always been very happy with the service we have received. The cabin was an adequate size for us and was kept extremely clean by our attendant. The food and drinks package was also very good. The ...

Scenic provide good value if you are looking for average and you’re travelling on a budget. If you’re looking for quality and pay for a premium- it’s disappointing. The notion of quality premium wines is a joke. As for food - it was mixed - we had to jump on the Scenic Ruby after flooding on the Danube and their food was excellent. The food on the Scenic Crystal was not good - 5 meals were ...

Chose the cruise after seeing Getaway on TV and thought a it’s be great to spend some time in one area without unpacking The cruise exceeded our expectations from the staff to food and quality and choices of excursions including electric bikes! Yvonne the cruise director is sensational at holding it all together with great humour and a zest to make our stay the best holiday one could ...

We chose it as it was the best way to go to all the places we wanted to go and see all the most amazing places we did. Everything was planned out so well plus you get free time to do your own thing and spend more time looking around all the most beautiful buildings and quant little towns. there is so much to see and at least 4 different options to pick from every day, and if you decided to stay ...

We have travelled with Scenic on five occasions now and never been disappointed. The level of attention they apply before, during and after the cruise is outstanding. From pre-cruise accommodation to airport transfers to baggage management, to reception, to extremely attentive, but fuss free staff - nothing but ticks. We splashed out on a Royal Panorama Suite - right at the back of the ship and it ...

In choosing Scenic Cruises all our research was worth it, and so much more. We traveled on the Scenic Jade on the Jewels of Europe with Prague and Paris. Room the Junior Balcony Suite. Being cheeky I was going to elaborate on my many problems on our cruise. Firstly I put on 4kg as I couldn’t stop eating the food. The food was buffet and off a menu. If you wanted more, get more. You basically ...
