We have sailed with Scenic before and just cannot see how any other river cruises could be any better. The ships are modern and spacious, the service outstanding, the food amazing and the selection of available trips incredible. When you consider that the price is FULLY inclusive and that includes all alcoholic beverages, gratuities and additional transfers in the event of problems in docking at the end port, I cannot see that we would sail with anyone else on river cruises.
The other thing that always impresses us is the standard and knowledge of the guides in the different places. They make the visits so interesting and are always very friendly and helpful. The coaches used are first class as well with excellent drivers.
On one evening we were taken out to a beautiful castle and entertained by two wonderful singers and their accompanying pianist. The standard of these musicians was astounding and it was certainly a memorable evening. This was probably the highlight of our trip.
First class cabin with a very comfortable large bed, large flat screen Apple TV, good sized bathroom with excellent shower, free L'Occitane toiletries, a free minibar and lovely towelling robes. The balcony with the ability to open the drop down window was wonderful.
