10/10 from start to finish, cruise, staff, food , excursions were all excellent. Would highly recommend a scenic river cruise , yes it was expensive but definitely worth it in terms of service, quality of food etc
This was our first river cruise, having previously done a number of Sea cruises. Yes it was more expensive, but you can see where the extra money goes. From being collected at the airport to being taken back to the airport this was a wonderful cruise. The staff were all friendly, hard working and attentive with a ratio of 2 staff to 1 passenger. Each cabin had a personal butler who was available for any needs, reachable on the phone. The food was excellent, the drinks all included (not just with meals and including the mini bar), as were the gratuities and a choice of trips each day. All the trips that we did were top notch, with local knowledgeable guides. The balcony cabin was spacious and comfortable with a super size bed that you could remotely adapt to your needs. The cruise director, JJ, was always available and presented a fun presentation each evening about the next days offerings. A wonderful Enrich experience on the night in Vienna was a private concert of music, dance and opera in a lovely palatial setting. E bikes were available for personal use or some arranged trips and the scenery down the Danube was spectacular. I cannot fault the whole experience and it has left us wanting more.

Very good cruise excellent crew great entertainment and superb food and drink
We spent ten days on the Danube, and although the water levels meant that we did not get as far as our planned destination, we had a wonderful time drifting through some stunning scenery. The service was superb, there was a tremendous range of food, and even the wines varied depending on which country we happened to be in at the time! Now that the Covid years have died down, we plan to travel with Scenic again next year.
Entertainment shows simply superb better than many six star cruise lines Ship is quite old but public spaces good with excellent theatre with good sight lines Food was quite good but not top notch catering for uk tastes and with a large contingent of Indian crew curry was very popular
We were pleasantly surprised with our 12-day Alaska cruise, departing from Vancouver in September, 2022. Accommodation was fine. The dining was better than expected, which say a lot. Overall, it was a positive experience,
Highlight of the trip was the food in the main dining room, both Breakfast and Dinner were superb. Great service throughout the cruise. Ship clean and in good condition, entertainment a bit repetitive but pleanty to see and do. Drinks pricing comparative to at home in UK. Drinks package ok if you are a heavy drinker, Wi Fi charges very high. Have alreay booked a future cruise with P&O, say no more.
