Asia River Cruises Reviews

Smaller ship. We are not "group tour" people. Terrific staff which is really part of the Cambodian culture, but still miles ahead of anything you would experience in the States or Europe. The cruise director was on the ball all the time and the country guides were well-prepared and showed the way. The food was very good and the service staff was excellent. All excursions were included in ...

We were very interested in seeing Asia and this seemed like a good place to start. Embarkation was a breeze! Taken right to our suite. Huge! Lots of space. Didn’t have a balcony but did have large windows that lowered. Staff very welcoming from the moment we boarded and everywhere went went. Our favorite place to relax with a beverage was the spirit lounge/River cafe where we interacted with very ...

This is a cruise like no other . The Amadara is a stunning boat ,all wood and Asian ,absolutetly prefect for the Mekong ,unlike the other big name cruise boats that were just European boats floating in Asia. From the first minute on board the staff were friendly and there to help . The food is incredible every meal and the themed nights amazing . The shore excursions were all we ...

My voyage aboard the Scenic Eclipse was nothing short of extraordinary. Embarking on the Circle Svalbard cruise, which covered the entire Spitzbergen Archipelago, surpassed my high expectations and even exceeded the memorable Charcot North Pole expedition I embarked upon the previous year. These two vessels, Scenic Eclipse and Charcot, now hold a special place in my heart. The suites on Scenic ...

Overall, the trip was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. The itinerary was perfectly curated, with the unique, special experiences incorporated into some of the excursions providing some particularly memorable moments. The transportation and logistics throughout were flawless. The hotel accommodations were all top notch, the Metropole and Raffles hotels were especially ...

I had served in Viet Nam in 1969-70, so I wanted to return and see the country. We started our trip in Hanoi, so it was very strange to be up where our “enemies” lived. The people were great! The history, as the communist country of Viet Nam depicted, was tainted to make them as being very gracious to our soldiers while they were there in prison at the Hanoi Hilton. Getting past ...

We had been on a previous Scenic River cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam and since that was a first class experience, we decided to go on this cruise. This cruise along the Mekong River from Vietnam to Cambodia far exceeded our expectations. Our cruise Director, Mirko, who has a wonderful sense of humour, was so very helpful and caring both for his guests and his staff. It was obvious, from the ...

A relaxing time after Bhutan week Assamese welcome introduced us to wonderful fusion of spices that was to follow Different regional cuisines every night preceded by wonderful cocktail drinks Had a magical bonfire evening on a sandbank of deserted island where we floated oil lamps in reverence to the Brahmaputra Another night we dressed up in the provided Assamese formal attire and ...

We have been with Scenic on numerous tours throughout the world. Scenic have always looked after us fabulously, everything is all inclusive, well catered, the best accommodation, and great guides. At the time of booking, the Scenic Eclipse had been held up with construction so we decided on this River Cruise (our first) in lieu of that. Our main goal was the Angkor Wat temple complexes. This ...

Everything was top-notch about this cruise. The service was impeccable: everyone, and I mean everyone, treated you like the special customer you want to be, including much of the staff learning your name from the first day. The food was consistently great, although not spectacular, and an good effort was made to make local food available at all meals. The variety and care taken on the ...
