First River Cruise with Scenic River Cruises

#1

Post by JonnaI »

Greeting from Texas!!!!We are leaving on our first river cruise on October 20th, only a week away, I'm getting very excited. We are sailing on Scenic River cruises down the Rhine River from Basel Switzerland to Amsterdam. I was wondering if anybody has ever used this line before and if you've ever done this route down the Rhine. Are there any must see things that we need to do and any helpful hints in some of the destinations that we will be in. Thank you!

Hi Jonnal and welcome to the forum.

I have yet to do a River cruise but it is certainly on our agenda for the future, however several members have so you might find some useful tips if you follow this link.

Have a wonderful time.

Hi JonnaI

Hope you have a great time. Can't help you re the cruise, but we did a tour with Scenic a few years ago and found them a very good company to travel with.

I did my first river cruise this summer.

It was with Viking on the Danube, so I can't help with Rhine / Scenic.

But it was great and I hope you enjoy your cruise as much as we did

We've done the Rhine in the opposite direction and loved it. We didn't do it with Scenic but they are highly regarded as one of the up market river cruise operators.
