2018 FRANCE RIVER CRUISING
France Space-Ships
Intimate and friendly, with every amenity you could wish for, our Scenic Space-Ships were designed with you in mind to enjoy the ultimate in all-inclusive luxury, every moment of the day.
New to the rivers of France – Boasting the finest fleet of river ships in France, our Space-Ships have all been upgraded to include larger suites and beautiful interiors. The very best on board experience is matched onshore with longer itineraries and exciting inclusions.
All-Inclusive Suites
At the gentle press of a button, the glass smoothly glides and your balcony seamlessly converts into your exclusive Scenic Sun Lounge, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of extra space as well as the unfolding landscape. It’s your own private oasis, where you can enjoy breakfast, read a quiet chapter, or sip a glass of complimentary wine as you admire the sunset. Our balcony suites are larger than the standard river cruise cabins on France’s rivers and offer modern and elegant furnishings, HDTV, individual climate control and pillow menu. There’s also a safe for your valuables, a nightly turndown service and a complimentary mini-bar and Wi-Fi internet.
Scenic Culinaire
One of the most exciting elements on board Scenic Sapphire and Scenic Diamond is our exclusive Scenic Culinaire cooking experience. France is the epicentre of cuisine and fine dining and Scenic Culinaire will allow our guests to participate in an on board cooking class, taught by experts, featuring the finest local ingredients. Scenic Diamond and Scenic Sapphire have been transformed to include a bespoke cooking area. This dedicated space features a cooking station, a fresh produce fridge with ingredients that will be sourced from local markets, and our cooking instructors will introduce you to regional recipes you’ll adore. We’ve even included a live camera and screen so that you won’t miss a thing as it’s being cooked. And of course the best bit will be the tastings at the conclusion of each class.
Scenic Enrich
Our exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences will take you into the cultural heart of life that has been established over centuries around the waterways of France. From great seats of learning to traditional country ways of life, step into a truly memorable experience. We offer the chance to enjoy an exclusive gala dinner and performance in the prestigious Popes’ Palace in Avignon. Or experience the French extravaganza that is the can-can amid other performances when you are treated to the exclusive gala spectacular, Scenic Rouge, under the big-top in Lyon.
Scenic Freechoice
From the gastronomic capital of France in Lyon, to the natural beauty of Ardéche National Park. From shopping with a chef (and tasting the spoils), to wine tasting in the famed Sauternes region. We appreciate that all of our guests are unique and may want to move at their own pace. So we have divided our extensive list of Scenic Freechoice activities into active, moderate and relaxed pace, so our guests have the freedom to choose what interests them most, at a pace that suits them best.
