Passau Scenic River Scenic Amber Cruise Reviews

Many of our friends had been on a cruise and urged us to do the same. Theirs was a big boat type with several thousand people aboard. We wanted to see Europe, and wanted a shorter duration of about a week. As well, classical music is our favorite with Mozart and Liszt being prominent among the great composers. Of course, who doesn't like the "The Sound of Music". This cruise was a good fit. We ...

We traveled with a group of 6 seasoned travelers, having decided to choose Scenic for their itinerary and their promised on board and off ship experiences. First let me say their experiences and excursions were fantastic. Upon arrival, even at the very early hour we only waited for our room for about an hour, having traveled overnight. The food on board was over the top. BUT......having ...

The river cruise industry is growing by leaps and bounds with 19-new ships sailing the rivers of Europe this year alone. Viking alone has 64 ships. So what’s all the fuss about. My wife and I have done 33 Ocean line cruises, but until this past month we’d never done a River Cruise. Since we’d never been on one and since we’re used to being on the larger ships (mostly Celebrity) we ...

We chose this cruise with the help of our travel agent and feed back from her colleagues. I have to say that we were not disappointed. The crew of the Scenic Amber, including Tadej, Mirko, Alexandru and others were amazing and treated us to a pampered experience where every detail was taken care of. The food was excellent, the rooms were spotless and well maintained, the excursions were well ...

Chose this cruise as we had never done a river cruise. First two to three days food was certainly not 5 star, we thought the chef had been replaced as the food certainly improved. I must mention Branislav the waiter who went the extra mile and Francis the butler was very keen to please. Waiter was asked by a guest for a dessert wine, which he brought, when asked by another guest if he could ...

Our cabin, though on the Sapphire Deck, had limited space for movement. The wardrobe and shelving space was adequate and the safe on a pull-out drawer easy to use. However, we chose a cabin with a balcony, thinking we would wake up with our morning tea and look out onto the Danube scenery - all we could see 5 mornings out of 7 - was into the cabin of the ship moored alongside us. We saw a lady ...

A faultless experience. Every aspect and experience was superb. First class fine dining with an amazing choice of beautifully presented food. A lovely immaculate ship , not too big with approx 120 passengers. Literally everything was included ...we even had 1 kilo of free of charge laundry. 2 items of free pressing a day were also included. I would recommend staying on the Diamond deck in one of ...
