WELCOME Scenic honours the beauty of time. We’re not here to rush you from one place to the next. We want you to take the scenic route. To meander slowly and appreciate what’s around you – the smells, sounds and views that you enjoy when you truly take your time. – Tracing the intricate pattern of Europe’s waterways, floating past picture postcard scenery and stopping at historic towns and villages to experience once-in-a-lifetime moments. This is more than a river cruise; it’s a journey you’ll never forget.

“The heat of the sun during the day had warmed the earth so the sunset was scented with the delicate fragrance of nature – vines, earth and flowers. The perfume could never be bottled, and nor could the moment.” Simon, 59 Avignon, France N 43° 56’ E 4° 48’

WONDER We all strive to feel a closer connection with our surroundings, moments when we move beyond the physical and become truly emotionally engaged in an experience with all of our senses — a moment of wonder. Wonder is a personal emotion, it’s about the heart and the mind, joy, surprise, curiosity and awe. Wonder can be a whole day or a fleeting moment. Travel is about more than distance. It offers us not just a journey across the world to see new sights but to the heart of what it means to be human. It allows us to step outside our normal parameters and become enriched by what we encounter. It presents us with limitless possibilities to become more than we were before. At Scenic we celebrate the art of wonder through travel. Our aim is to elevate your trip from a mere holiday into a journey of discovery. Never lose your sense of wonder.

Freechoice A

All our guests are unique so we appreciate that you may want to move at your own pace. Perhaps you’ll want to follow a busy day with one at a more relaxed tempo, or you wish to truly unwind throughout. We’ve divided our extensive list of Freechoice excursions into active, moderate and relaxed pace so you can choose those which best suit your requirements and interests. Active – For those keen to explore further afield, for a longer excursion or perhaps a bicycle ride. Moderate – A comfortable walking pace at which you can easily discover the beautiful city centres on our walking tours. Relaxed – A slower pace to take in museums, castles, thermal baths or a canal cruise.

From strolling the romantic streets of Rothenburg, to the home of Mozart. From shopping with a chef (and tasting the spoils) to an industrial heritage mine. There are visits to stunning World Heritage-listed sites, world famous pottery factories, the renowned Spanish Riding School, vineyards, walking tours and even a cycle along the Danube, to name but a few. There is a wealth of extra choice in all locations to satisfy the most curious of guests, whichever cruise you decide on.

Suites

We don’t want you to miss a minute of the sublime scenery that flanks our ships as you cruise the waterways of Europe, so almost every suite on every vessel offers a balcony, and a river view. At the gentle press of a button, glass smoothly glides and your balcony seamlessly converts into our 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 expansive Royal and Royal Panorama Suites set the industry standard in river cruising accommodation. Luxuriously appointed and the largest on any European cruising vessel, they boast elegant lounge areas, spacious bathrooms (stocked with spoil-yourself L’Occitane products) and queen-size Scenic Slumber Beds. 360⁰ Tours @ scenic.ca

We know you’ve earned your holiday and we want you to pamper yourself, not just once but as a matter of course. So downy pillows, Egyptian cotton sheets, plush bathrobes and complimentary shoeshine enhance the ambiance of an opulent 5-star hotel. Our balcony suites are larger than the standard river cruise cabins on Europe’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 minibar and Wi-Fi internet. We believe the hand-finished details make a difference, and if we’re honest, we want to spoil you from wanting anything else.

“My husband had arranged an anniversary champagne breakfast to be delivered to our Royal Panorama Suite as a surprise. I’m not sure our butler Vlado had much to do with the divine views but the lovely flowers and breakfast spread were delivered with such care.

I’ve never been one to stand on ceremony but he instantly put us at ease and quickly became indispensable, expertly pressing my husband’s shirts and even remembering my favourite pre-dinner canapé.

ENQUIRE FOR DETAILS*

EUROPE The rivers of Europe have shaped not only the beautiful undulating landscape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but also the histories of the diverse regions they flow through. Once vital trade routes now flow with people who have come simply to experience the magic of these majestic rivers. The banks are still lined with the magnificent architecture of times past but the cultures and traditions are very much alive today. To feel the magic for yourself, cruise the waterways of the Danube, Rhine, Main and Moselle through such diverse countries as the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

Amsterdam > Budapest

Grand palaces and fairy tale castles A region steeped in the history of ancient trade routes, today the rivers of the Rhine, Main and Danube meander through forested hillsides, idyllic vineyards and romantic towns. Restored castles still stand watch from their position atop dramatic hilltops, just as they did in the days of feudal knights, and land barons. However today, the sites of ancient battles and medieval skirmishes have been replaced by a tranquil countryside, and thriving towns and villages. Elsewhere, romantic ruins echo with a timeless beauty and Gothic spires rise out of the picturesque communities nestled along the river banks. This is a journey that will take you through the Europe of your imagination, full of wonder, recalling medieval jousts, cobbled streets and childhood fairy tales.

Romance is alive and well on the Rhine Anyone who doesn’t believe in the power of romance has never travelled down this stretch of the Rhine, or its idyllic tributary, the Moselle. In fact, on this itinerary, there’s probably a fairy tale moment lying in wait for you just beyond the next river bend. The castles that grace this region sometimes seem as if they were lifted straight from the silver screen, and that’s hardly surprising as it’s a region that’s long been favoured by Hollywood directors. From Lorelei, the Rhine river siren said to lure sailors to their demise, to the legendary Black Forest, which still resonates with imaginative children’s tales, there are stories and romances galore to discover, and delight in. You may even compose a few new ones of your own.

France captivates the heart in a way that can only truly be appreciated when you’re there. Paris continues to populate the romantic imagination of the world.

PORTUGAL Once a great, conquering seafaring nation, Portugal has a history and culture as proud and as intrepid as any in Europe. — Today, large tracts of it remain unchanged, almost like a land out of time, where beautiful traditions survive the ravages of progress. From rolling vineyards to grand historic structures, magic waterscapes to endlessly engaging vistas, Portugal’s lazy charm tends to seep into your consciousness slowly, seducing you without you realising it. However, by the time you’ve fully explored the Douro’s wondrous valleys and friendly village communities, you’ll find yourself thoroughly and hopelessly in love.

From elegant Lamego to Regua and Vega de Terron you’ll find that people still ply the trades people always have in the historic pockets of the Douro Valley. The vineyards that grace the banks of the Douro are worked the way vineyards in the region always have been. The wines they produce, from the many highly loved varieties of port, to their fine unfortified reds and whites, are as rich and plentiful as ever. The fare is as honest and as delicious as it was in days of yore. And, most refreshing of all, the communities are every bit as friendly, and as welcoming.

A place unlike any other

Lisbon > Porto

Portugal’s Douro Valley is a place where little has changed for decades, possibly even centuries. Immerse yourself in a culture that has managed to preserve its distinctive way of life, while evolving into a modern cultural treasure trove.

Porto

From World Heritage-listed cities such as Porto to the elegant town of Lamego, as well as the villages adorning the steep shores of the Douro River, the Douro Valley has a wondrous mix of the historic and the modern. Put yourself in the picture when you cruise the much photographed Vinhateiro wine region and see for yourself just why this region inspires the most avid photographers. Wander the cobbled paths of villages that time seems to have forgotten and chatter convivially with the local people, who exude the warmth and hospitality of simpler and friendlier times.

A tale of two rivers

Paris > Porto

Even with the sheer abundance of beautiful rivers to choose from, the Seine and Douro are among Europe’s most tempting waterways.

English Channel

In many ways, both waterways are like worlds unto themselves, providing a spectacular regional beauty and a wealth of historic interest that would be hard to match anywhere. The Seine, which flows languidly towards the English Channel, boasts spectacular cathedrals, impressive limestone cliffs, flowering orchards and, not least, the grand architectural wonder of the city of light, magnificent Paris itself – to name just a few of its highlights. The Douro begins its journey in vibrant Porto, Portugal’s second largest city before taking a surreal journey into a land that time seems to have forgotten. Combine the two in one wonderful itinerary and you can look forward to a complete immersion into two spectacular, and almost parallel, worlds.

RUSSIA Is there a country more multilayered than Russia? — It’s a land of stark contrasts – dark and light, tumultuous and sublime. From the grace of the Bolshoi to the fear of the Kremlin, from the treasures of the Hermitage to the echo of marching boots in Red Square, Russia is magnificent and compelling. Start your cruise in either St. Petersburg or Moscow and wind your way along the mighty Volga through a culturally rich and diverse region. In the process, experience such wonders as The Kremlin, Red Square, Peterhof Palace, St Basil’s Cathedral, Kizhi Island and Lake Lagoda.

St. Petersburg > Moscow

Russia’s many mysteries revealed In the words of Winston Churchill, mighty Russia has always been “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” From the haunting beauty of St. Petersburg to the might and splendour of Moscow, Russia remains as intriguing as it ever was. In spite of the thawing of the Cold War, its sheer size ensures that it is still relatively impenetrable. It is, after all, a land as vast as it is beautiful. There’s simply no better way to traverse those vast distances than along Russia’s wild and majestic waterways. The best option by far is a luxury cruise on board Scenic Tsar. Life on board this boutique ship, which is unique in Scenic’s impressive fleet, is an incomparable blend of luxury and intimacy. With only 112 guests, Scenic Tsar is the ultimate river cruiser, providing sanctuary from the inconveniences of travelling great distances by land, and allowing you to immerse yourself completely in the many cultures and wonders to be experienced on the way.
