Welcome to the New Year with Scenic
Luxury river cruise specialist Scenic has launched a New Year sale on all 2018 cruises in Europe. What’s more you can enjoy free private door-to-door chauffeur transfers when you book before 15 February. Scenic’s all-inclusive philosophy ensures everything you could possibly need is included in the price. From return flights, transfers and tips, to exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences, daily Scenic Freechoice excursions, fine-dining, complimentary premium branded drinks and butler service.
Across all of Scenic’s 21 European itineraries exclusive Scenic Enrich experiences take guests to the cultural heart of Europe. New experiences for 2018 include Chateau d’Agassac in the Medoc region of France – dating back to the 13th century it is the oldest wine making establishment in the region and the venue for a private evening concert featuring live musicians. Cruises on the Douro River include a private concert in the splendour of São Francisco Church, where the golden-swathed halls provide the most majestic of settings.
Scenic refers to its vessels as ‘Space-Ships’ to emphasize a higher than usual space ratio. There’s also a very high ratio of staff to guests. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served in the open seating Crystal Dining; additionally there are two alternative dinner venues - Portobello's for Italian cuisine and Table Le Rive, which offers a six-course tasting menu served with wine pairings. Occasionally, a barbecue lunch will be served on the Sun Deck. Unusually on a river vessel, room service is available for all passengers. Another break from the norm is that each of Scenic's ships has two lounges.
Accommodation is classed as suites and on most vessels includes ‘Sun Lounge’ balconies - retractable glass windows that fold out to provide fresh air. All have flat-screen televisions and a complimentary mini-bar that is restocked daily. Innovative GPS-activated headsets, called Scenic Tailormade, allow passengers to hear the commentary or to choose any of dozens of pre-recorded tours as they walk or cycle through the towns they visit. The device also has a screen that shows both a map of the route and photos of the specific attractions being discussed.
New for 2018 are two 8-day festive cruises taking in the Christmas markets along the Rhine and Danube rivers. Scenic also has a brand new 15-day cruise from Moscow to Stalingrad with an optional 3-night St Petersburg extension.
