All inclusive river cruise on a budget
"I can't say enough about how Scenic handled the situation: the cruise line did an excellent job with the transfers, modifying the excursions, and housing us at the hotel.Without doubt, the hardest working cruise director (Richard) and hotel staff that I have ever witnessed...."Read More

Since Scenic caters to mainly the Australian market, we found ourselves booking this cruise to meet up with our Australian friends. There was a mix of Canadians, Brits, and Americans. This was a Rhine, Mosel River itinerary with 14 nights on board ship. The ship had propeller problems from the first night which meant transferring the passengers to a hotel for two nights, and then returning to ...

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 ...

Let me give the positives first 1. ship is old and beautifully maintained 2. Our deluxe balcony suite was comfortable and spotless. Plenty of closet and drawers, safe and small refrigerator which was stocked with beverages and a few snacks. Soaps, and hair products are in large containers. Shower was delightful with multiple shower heads. We enjoyed the balcony chairs. Top deck was ...

This was a nostalgic visit to places we had already visited and were familiar with. The cruise was sold to us as being of superior quality, but at a fantastic price. On two evenings at dinner our order was taken quite quickly, but we waited more than an hour and half to receive our main course. I indicated the problem to the hotel manager, Bogdan, on the first occasion, but the situation was ...

We chose Scenic for their all inclusive policy and service rating. This did not disappoint. There was literally no reason to get your credit card or cash out during the cruise, except for shopping of course. Of course there is a charge for the spa but I literally didn't have time for this. The staff on the ships are wonderful. I can't say enough about them. You are certainly waited on. We were ...

This was our first cruise with Scenic, having been influenced by their claim to provide “Luxury cruising” and wishing to enjoy a little more pampering. Not being wedded to any cruise line in particular, I do feel able to make comparisons with other companies, so let’s get started: BOOKING Booking our cruise was quick and easy. No surprise there, it’s always easier to gain attention when ...

We saw this cruise advertised about a year previous. it had an excellent price and was listed as a luxury cruise. We booked and were not disappointed. All decent river cruise lines have good food, service and staff. However, Scenic has brought it up a notch. The food was varied, excellent and the presentation was exquisite. Kudos to the chef and his staff. All staff were very well trained, ...

After lots of consideration, we booked our first ever river cruise with Scenic, on their Rhine Highlights cruise which departs from Amsterdam and meanders down the Rhine to Basel, Switzerland. We chose Scenic largely because it was advertised as all-inclusive and also to experience the line's newest ship, the Jasper. Thus, we were dismayed to be informed the day before departure that the Jasper ...

Our cruise director was fantastic. She did her very best to resolve problems and kept a very positive attitude throughout the entire trip. We did not really appreciate changing ships after four days, without being told at the beginning not to unpack all our clothes. Communication would have been appreciated. Loved the electric bikes. Disappointed one tour was cancelled. Loved the opera and ...
