8-Day European Christmas Market River Cruise on Scenic Opal Review
We went on our first ever river cruise with Scenic! Seeing Christmas markets all over Europe has been such a dream of ours, and this year we finally made it come true. We boarded the Scenic Opal, a luxury river cruise that holds about 150 passengers, for an 8-day cruise starting in Basel, Switzerland and ending in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
