Welcome For over 34 years, Scenic has delighted guests with great escapes to unforgettable locations in every part of the world.

The pursuit of wonder has led us to search more than 60 countries to create unique luxury itineraries. We strive to give you a deeper understanding of all the ‘must-see’ sights, along with the right amount of flexibility to explore at your own pace.

Our passionate Journey Designers curate experiences that take our guests beyond the ordinary, revealing hidden gems away from the busy tourist trails. Our expert Cruise and Tour Directors are skilled storytellers, trained to anticipate your needs, so you can rest assured that you will always be in good hands.

Through continuous innovation, we ensure the optimal comfort for you on board our Scenic Space-Ships.

In the event of a deviation some services and inclusions may not be provided inline with these depictions. Please see pages 32-33 for more details.

Every thoughtful detail of our state-of-the art, intimate Scenic Space-Ships have been developed with the objective of delivering world-class, all-inclusive luxury river cruise experiences that are second to none.

Our ships in Bordeaux and the South of France were the first to feature an exclusive Salt Therapy Lounge to help guests unwind and revitalise in a holistic wellness atmosphere as well as featuring our exclusive cooking school, Scenic Culinaire, for an immersive culinary experience. While Scenic Gem has been purposely built to sail the waters of the Seine river all the way to Honfleur, the gateway to the English Channel.

From timeless towns to iconic landmarks, Europe’s legendary waterways are brimming with wonders waiting to be explored. This brochure features a range of unforgettable itineraries that will help you to begin planning your 2021 enriching European river cruise.

We look forward to welcoming you on board.

Luxury Europe River Cruises

Scenic

Life on the river If you are dreaming of experiencing a river cruise, be prepared to fall in love with one of the greatest joys in the world. As your 5-star floating hotel cruises through some of the most iconic waterways of Europe, not only will you witness Mother Nature at her best, but also human engineering at its finest.

Locked Rivers

Constant State of Flux

Europe’s waterways are distinctive with varying water levels. To make traversing these waters seamless, water locks were invented. A lock is essentially an elevator with which ships can be raised or lowered to overcome the water level disparities. Europe’s waterways are filled with locks and the MainDanube Canal has 16 locks, some as high as 25 metres.

The invention of the water locks is a true engineering marvel with Italian scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci, pitching in to perfect the process. Watching your Captain expertly manoeuvre your Scenic Space-Ship through the narrow canals is a special treat that awaits you on board.

As with any other element of Mother Nature, rivers have personalities of their own. Our state-of-the-art Scenic SpaceShips are designed to convert easily to slide under all kinds of bridges.

While we make every effort to plan our trips to the last degree, some days the water levels simply don’t co-operate. This leads to lock closures or difficulties passing under historic and often low-slung bridges when water levels are either too high or too low.

Our local offices throughout Europe monitor levels closely to handle all navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner to minimise disruptions.

B

A

What does an itinerary deviation look like? How could it impact my trip and how might I be compensated?

A deviation can be a quick, minor inconvenience, a prolonged change or an extended disruption depending on the circumstances.

A minor disruption may include:

A Scenic Diamond, Bordeaux, France B Panorama Lounge and Bar, Scenic Sapphire C Scenic Space-Ship navigating a lock

*Not valid for Russia

In the event that a ship can’t pass through a section of the river (due to water levels, a closed lock or river obstruction, for example), we use coaches to transfer you from your original Scenic Space-Ship to a new Space-Ship on the other side of the obstruction. These “ship swaps” are performed with the least impact possible with your Cruise Director accompanying you onto the new ship with your belongings to ensure the remainder of the cruise is as enjoyable as possible. You will be accommodated in a suite of the same type and value; should this not be possible you will be compensated the difference in the value of the suites.

33

Your Included River Cruise Cover*

A prolonged disruption may include:

An extended disruption or major impact to your itinerary:

Using coach transfers to the included sightseeing locations, while continuing to be accommodated on your Scenic Space-Ship. A prolonged disruption may also require us to continuously cruise without stopping for touring.

Under Scenic’s River Cruise Cover you will be compensated between $100-$200 per person per day of the disruption should we not be able to fulfill the sightseeing listed in the itinerary.

In the event of an extended disruption, accommodation off ship will be in local hotels with all meals provided. To the best of our ability we will ensure the hotels are of similar standard to your Scenic Space-Ship.

Meals will be included, however, alcoholic drinks and amenities such as butler service, may or may not be included. Touring will be undertaken by coach. As we understand this experience will not be same as being on board the Scenic Space-Ship, under Scenic’s River Cruise Cover you will be compensated based on the suite category booked, between $300-$800 per person per day for up to seven days.

Alternatively, a full refund for the remainder of the cruise should you choose to disembark and end/finish your journey.

C

Staying true to our commitment of being truly all-inclusive, your Scenic river cruise automatically includes peace of mind River Cruise Cover. This may be enacted in the event of a deviation to compensate you for any changes to your itinerary.

Scenic is committed to open and transparent communication. Should information about potential issues be available prior to your departure we will notify you and allow you to make an informed decision about your travel plans.

Should the impact happen during your cruise, you will be notified by your Cruise Director on board that River Cruise Cover has been enacted. Once your cruise is complete, we will review the total number of days that were disrupted and provide you with a letter upon your return home with the amounts that can be claimed and details of the claims process.

We appreciate that you’ve invested a lot of time and funds for your holiday with us, so we want to ensure that we provide you with peace of mind when travelling with Scenic.

Gastronomic meal of the French To the French, food is more than just nourishment, it is a way of life. The philosophy is that if you haven’t enjoyed a feast of succulent and flavorful dishes made from carefully selected ingredients, set on a beautiful table, paired with fine wine, in the warm company of near and dear ones, it is as if you haven’t dined at all. So strong is France’s love affair with food that the ‘Gastronomic meal of the French’ is part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
