Truly All-Inclusive

Luxurious holidays should be about exploring, unwinding and indulging. With Scenic, truly all-inclusive luxury means you can place your wallet somewhere safe and relax, leaving it all to us.

Before you choose a river cruise company, we recommend doing some research on the ships, features and inclusions:

A

Is the ship built and designed to European safety standards?

Does the ship have a choice of dining venues?

Are all meals included on board and during cruise shore excursions?

Are all drinks included on board all day, every day or just during lunch and dinner?

Do I have an extensive choice of which international wine, beer, cocktails or spirits I drink or is it house wine only?

Do all suite types have included butler service?

Are all shore excursions or activities included with no additional charges?

How spacious is the lead in suite and does it have a separate living area, walk-in-wardrobe, bedroom and balcony?

Are there a range of touring options to choose from?

B

Is the staff ratio almost 1:1?

Does the company I am travelling with have its own offices in the region I am travelling?

Who are the staff and crew trained and employed by, the cruise provider or through a third party?

By choosing Scenic, you’ll enjoy a truly all-inclusive river cruise in a class of its own.

We understand each guest is unique and so are their holiday styles. You might like to take it easy and savor each moment as it comes, or you might like to see as many sights as possible within a limited period of time.

We’ve taken the care to divide all Scenic Freechoice activities into Active, Moderate and Relaxed pace so you can choose those which best suit your interests and fitness.

Active – For those keen to explore further afield, for a longer or more demanding journey.

Moderate – A comfortable walking pace at which you can easily discover a beautiful city on a walking tour.

Relaxed – A slower pace to take in the temples or enjoy an authentic cooking class.

Discover

Hanoi, Hue & Hoi An The Far North and Center of Vietnam.

Hanoi, Sapa and Ninh Binh

Hoi An and Hue

Known for its French colonial buildings, laid-back pace, shoplined streets, and compact bars and restaurants, the 1010 year old Hanoi is a worthy capitol city of Vietnam. From watching the endearing water puppet show, to whizzing through its busy night food markets on a Vespa, each day you spend here will be a day to cherish for a lifetime.

For a quiet and relaxing break in Vietnam, you will love exploring the old cities of Hue and Hoi An and their many World Heritage Sites, located in the center of Vietnam.

If you feel you want to explore beyond the capitol city’s historical treasures and quirky charm, you’ll be pleased to know, Hanoi is also a jumping off point to Halong Bay as well as the French hill station of Sapa and Ninh Binh and Hoa Lu, known as the ‘dry Halong’. The perfect options for extending your stay pre-tour in this vivacious South East Asian land.

Hue, Vietnam’s former capitol, is known for its Perfume River, ancient palace and the mausoleums of the imperial dynasties that once ruled. In Hoi An, the blend of Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese old world architecture will ensure that you capture your best travel photos in this old town. Shop in Hoi An’s famous tailors and specialty art shops, relax along its charming river banks, and take a night-time stroll through its cute streets, lit with old-fashioned lanterns and strewn with pink bougainvillea flowers to truly experience this town that was forgotten by time.

From the craziness and energy of Hanoi, the beauty of Halong Bay on the AUCO, the shopping sprees in Hoi An or Saigon, the magic of Scenic Spirit and its staff and finally the beauty of Angkor and the gala farewell. The people of Vietnam and Cambodia are so loving after having been through so much, their energy and vitality is so inspiring. We cannot not say anything else except Wow! Wow! Wow!

— Stretching across the country toward the Indian Ocean, the river has long been a source of inspiration for travelers, artists and poets alike.

A journey along the Irrawaddy is the perfect way to reveal Myanmar’s hidden treasures – its people and culture – which for years were only known to the most intrepid of travelers. Embark on a voyage of discovery and allow yourself to be enthralled by the country’s many charms.

Discover

Myanmar Stepping into Myanmar is akin to stepping back in time. A land of timeless beauty will astound you. The beating heart of the country is its faith, and there is no better way to understand Myanmar than to spend time tapping into your spiritual side.

The country offers one of the world’s most remarkable collections of temples – the wide plains of Bagan feature an incredible 2,230 alone – while the ancient pagodas and monasteries of Sagaing will leave you spellbound.

Embrace local traditions In Sagaing, give alms and participate in a blessing of food with nuns at their nunnery, while at Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, partake in a traditional oil lamp lighting ceremony. You can even leave your own mark on Myanmar’s culture and learn how to produce gold leaf at a local workshop, before male guests can place it on an iconic Buddha statue.

Meet the locals One of the most charming aspects of Myanmar is its people, who are all too happy to share their traditional culture with guests. While visits to temples are a must, it is the towns and villages where there are opportunities to interact with local families that will remain in your memory for a lifetime. Support local communities and hitch a ride on a trishaw or horsedrawn cart, or enjoy a home-cooked meal with an Intha family while at Inle Lake. In Bagan, rise early to give alms with local residents and interact and support the local school children and nuns in Sagaing.

“

The whole experience was amazing. We were totally immersed in culture which I have never experienced before. This was my first trip to Asia and I was totally at awe with the people and how friendly they all were. We saw many amazing temples, but it was the people and seeing their daily lives which made this trip so special. The excursions I enjoyed the most were the ones where we walked through villages and towns.

I thoroughly recommend this holiday to everyone. Totally amazing.

Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this trip.
