Drift along Europe's unforgettable waterways on Scenic's "space ships."
Guests enjoy exceptional service and world-class cuisine, ranging from
casual to fine-dining options. Inviting public areas allow travelers to
relax and take in stunning scenery. Balcony suites on most ships feature
sun lounges with expansive windows that lower to create an open-air
balcony.
Wellness areas on ships in France and along the Rhine, Danube and Main
rivers have Salt Therapy Lounges that are said to provide therapeutic
benefits. Also on cruises in France, guests can learn from the ship's
chef in cooking classes offered through the Scenic Culinaire
program.
Scenic's personalized port experiences immerse guests in local history
and culture. The Scenic Freechoice program offers a range of options
from museum visits and wine tastings to guided hiking and biking
excursions. Meet beer-making monks in Bavaria, take a kayaking trip
along the Pinhao River or join a silk painting workshop in Lyon.
Scenic Enrich features exclusive cultural experiences that are not
available to the independent traveler. For example, you might attend a
private classical music concert in Budapest or tour an exclusive chateau
in the French countryside.
There's still time to join Scenic on a memorable
Christmas markets cruise
this holiday season. These festive departures in late November and
December visit Europe's famous outdoor holiday bazaars. Under twinkling
lights, you can stroll among decorated stalls that sell handcrafted
ornaments, toys and woodcarvings and enjoy local treats such as
gingerbread, grilled sausages, roasted chestnuts and mulled wine.
Looking ahead to 2027, Scenic will expand its offerings with
new all-inclusive river cruises in India
aboard the 44-guest Scenic Aura. These itineraries combine a cruise on
the Lower Ganges with visits to iconic destinations such as Delhi, Agra
and Jaipur, as well as exclusive Scenic Enrich activities.
Scenic also offers luxury
yacht cruises in destinations like
Antarctica, the Arctic, Europe and others. Fares for these sailings also
cover meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities,
shore excursions in every port and airport transfers. Discovery leaders
provide insights into each destination, and guests can explore by
submarine, helicopter, Zodiacs, kayaks and e-bikes.
Right now, our customers can
save up to 59%
off the regular price of Scenic's yacht sailings.
