A SCENIC WAY TO TRAVEL
Explore Europe from a unique and luxurious vantage point, taking in historic sights, a wealth of culture, cuisine and much more
DO YOU sometimes dream of exploring Europe’s great cities, but find it hard to choose where to visit? Perhaps you’ve dallied with the idea of a classic Grand Tour, following in the footsteps of wealthy young men of old, who travelled through France and beyond in search of art, culture and the roots of western civilisation?
Of course, it would be a wonderful and fascinating adventure, but if the logistics of such a trip feel overwhelming, and the prospect of constant packing and unpacking between destinations is exhausting, why not consider a more relaxed way to discover Europe?
The rivers of the continent create a seamless connection between some of its most stunning cities, affording the opportunity to enjoy one of the most relaxing tours on earth. Imagine gliding serenely along ancient valleys, following the river’s path. Bask in the sun-kissed beauty of Portugal’s Douro, amid the renowned Port wine estates, or cruise the classic routes of the Rhine and Danube through Europe’s cultural heartland. Discover the ‘joie de vivre’ of France from her rivers, as you sail past scenery that has inspired artists the world over.
When you book a river cruise with Scenic, every detail is taken care of as you wend your way along the waterways of Europe, enjoying seamless transfers between ports of call, travelling in unparalleled five-star luxury. With 18 truly all-inclusive journeys throughout Europe, a new standard has been set for river cruising.
When you join your state-of-the-art ‘Space-Ship’, you’ll have your luggage unpacked and put away by a butler, so you can relax and enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the bar, or relax on the upper deck before setting sail. This premium service sets the tone for the rest of your holiday, where even the luxuries you might expect to pay extra for are included in the upfront price.
Scenic’s growing fleet of five-star Space-Ships offers the most luxurious accommodation and the largest suites available on Europe’s rivers. Featuring the best of contemporary design, combined with classic comfort, your private on-board space offers a tranquil haven for relaxation as you watch the world go by.
Your light, airy suite is elegantly appointed in the style of a world-class hotel, featuring tactile furnishings, chic colour palettes and sophisticated design touches that add a stylish flourish. Your butler provides 24-hour room service, including the restocking of your in-suite minibar, and enjoy some daily pampering with complimentary L’Occitane toiletries and luxurious amenities.
Of course, each Scenic Space-Ship is imbued with this five-star ambience throughout, with fine dining in a choice of up to six on-board venues, plus a personal invitation to Portobellos, where elegant Italian cuisine is paired with wines by Scenic’s sommeliers. Enjoy your favourite tipples, with unlimited premium branded drinks*.
And, of course, when you venture ashore, your experience will match the high standards you’ve enjoyed on board, with award-winning, complimentary excursions, once-in-a-lifetime Enrich events and experiences and exclusive receptions in majestic locations.
