None of the experience with the ship, shore excursions or food can make up for having the 14 day cruise planned from Budapest to Amsterdam terminated after 7 days and then being left in an unplanned city with no assistance The Danube had been rising over the first few days and then at dinner on day 5 we were told the cruise would end 36 hours later in Passau, we were all to vacate the ship by 8 am ...

First time cruisers, wanted to do this cruise for years, decided to go up-market since we liked the idea of a smaller boat. Transfer arrangements worked well, all we had to do was be at the appointed time and place. Balcony cabin was more spacious than we expected and well designed with plenty of storage. Excellent sound insulation between cabins. Bed very comfortable and bigger than ...

I booked this cruise within 4 weeks of sailing and luckily I got the last cabin. I had liked what Scenic offered with their all inclusive pricing and had planned for over a year but ended up last minute booking it due to health issues. We were not disappointed. Everything was great, food, service, wines, staff and excursions. The entertainment on board just hit the right level for us. We were ...

Boat: Jasper: Scenic Luxury River Cruise (Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam) a 5 star cruise! I want to know, who made up the daily menus? No one that is familiar with fine cuisine. Food will make or break a company. Mess up with food, and repeat customers will not return. This company needs hire a couple of trained Chefs to make up a decent modern menu and then train the kitchen staff ...

After being very warmly welcomed by front desk staff, we started to learn about river cruising. Our cabin was very comfortable (Deluxe Balcony on Diamond Deck) with all the amenities you could ever want. Lots of on-screen entertainment options, so we re-watched some Bond films over the evenings. On Scenic Jasper, the Crystal Dining Room is the only actual dining room. Portobello’s is a small ...

The cruise from Budapest to Nuremburg could not have been better. The boat, crew, meals & wine, were all superb and good value. The wines were all from the region and were matched to the meals. The excursions were very well arranged and included concerts in palaces and walking tours. Three meals a day are included on the boat with one in a restaurant on the day visit to Vienna. Entertainment was ...

Our friends whom have been on several other scenic cruises including this one highly recommended it to us and we will also recommend it others. The staff was friendly and helpful in a genuine way, not forced. Katerina was a lot of fun, we appreciated Hunor’s brilliant wit. We especially enjoyed Bagus, Hillman and Madea. They got to know us quickly and our preferences. Such nice men! The ...

We sailed on Scenic Jasper from Budapest to Amsterdam in late May 2023. This was our first river cruise and first experience with Scenic after having taken numerous ocean cruises with many different cruise lines. We have read numerous Cruise Critic reviews and note that prior to COVID, Scenic received mostly positive 5-star reviews, including from many friends who had previously sailed with ...
