Our state-of-the-art Scenic Space-Ships are designed to easily convert and fit under bridges. However, despite detailed planning, some days Mother Nature simply doesn’t cooperate. Our European offices closely monitor water levels and swiftly address navigation challenges to minimise disruptions.

Itinerary Deviations

What does an itinerary deviation look like?

How could it impact my trip?

59 day journey departing 26 April 2025

Bordeaux > Vienna

Your immersive journey starts in Bordeaux, sampling fine wines from Grand Cru Classé wine estates. As you continue onto the French and Italian Riviera, you’ll visit Cannes only weeks before the iconic film festival as film stars and millionaires will descend on the city, berthing their super yachts alongside Scenic Eclipse.

This glamour is a stark contrast to the authentic culture of Portugal, with vibrant painted buildings and friendly locals. One of the most picturesque river cruises in Europe await, with storybook castles sitting high above the winding vine-lined river bends. Then traverse the Swiss Alps by land and rail, peering over the iconic Matterhorn before as we say farewell in Vienna, creating stories for life.

Enhance your European discovery by seamlessly combining your river cruise with city stays, extensions or another cruise. Here, you'll find some helpful information to assist you in planning your ultimate journey of wonder.

How can I move between locations for my next journey?

This will vary based on your chosen cruise combination. In certain instances, like the North Sea to the Black Sea itinerary, you may stay on the same ship, and even in the same suite if you wish.

However, for cruise combinations that span different regions, such as France and Portugal, we include a flight to ensure a smooth transition between destinations.

If I qualify for transfers for both of my cruises, will I receive transfers for both?

If you are eligible for transfers on the day your cruise begins and ends, you will also receive transfers when booking back-to-back cruises for smooth transitions between your journeys. Conditions apply*.

Can I stay in the same suite for the duration of all my cruises?

Subject to availability and the specific layout of the ship (as not all ships offer all suite categories), you have the option to choose the same suite for both cruises.

If this isn’t possible, we will consult with you to discuss the available alternatives. Your comfort and preferences remain our priority.

Is it possible to make reservations through my travel agent?

Certainly, you can absolutely book through your trusted local Travel Advisor.

What special offers can I access?

You can access special offers when combining two or more river cruises. For details, please visit our dedicated offers page.

Can I earn Scenic Club Rewards on city stays and extensions?

We are pleased to share City Stays and Extensions are eligible for 100 points per night as part of Scenic Club*.
