River Danube Cruise

I wanted to thank Scenic Cruises for a wonderful Fam trip sailing on Scenic Amber on the River Danube. 4 nights of the 7 night 'Gems of the Danube' itinerary from Vienna to Nuremberg. Stops were made at the charming village of Durnstein and at Melk Abbey after sailing through the picturesque Wachau Valley. From Brandstatt choose from one of two beautiful cities - Cesky Krumlov in Czechia or Salzburg Austria, fairly long day trips on Scenic's own comfortable coaches. Enter Bavaria and see Regensburg which is a UNESCO listed medieval city rich with Romanesque & Gothic buildings.

Scenic really does offer its guests a 5* ultra All-Inclusive experience. Enjoy: Spacious luxurious suites and large spaceship balcony. Choose from a variety of included daily shore excursions (from walking tours, scenic and active ones including Guided e-bike tours). Top shelf beverages including champagne, fine wines, cocktails and speciality coffees and delicious meals. Gourmet dining with excellent options for Vegan, vegetarians and special diets. Gratuities are also included.

There is a lovely informal atmosphere on board, light evening entertainment with a friendly and caring crew who all enjoy looking after their guests.

Part of a River Cruise holiday is travelling through the Lock system. I found it very interesting especially going through the 25 metre drop one! It was a tight squeeze and the Sundeck had to be completely flattened to go through the manoeuvre!

A 10/10 holiday experience.
