Customer Reviews

    · August 22nd, 2025
    It really was an excellent cruise and I enjoyed it immensely. The only comment I would make is the act that all alcohol and excursions are obviously factored into the cost and personally I don't drink very much and am unable to participate in any excursion that involve walking a distance. I would like to think I would be able to go on another cruise but perhaps pay for any drinks and excursions.

    Very well organized trip. Everyone on board tried to make our experience as pleasant as possible. All inclusive was great. There was nothing more to pay for. I will definitely sail again with scenic luxury cruises.
