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.

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 new one-bedroom Royal Owner’s Suite will surpass all expectations and our expansive Royal and Royal Panorama Suites set the industry standard in river cruising accommodation. Luxuriously appointed and among the largest on any European cruising vessel, they boast elegant lounge areas, spacious bathrooms (stocked with spoil-yourself L’Occitane products) and queensize Scenic Slumber Beds.

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 even 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 complimentary Wi-Fi internet and mini-bar which is of course fully re-stocked daily.

EUROPE The rivers of Europe have shaped not only the beautiful undulating landscape — 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 Rhine, Main, Danube and Moselle through diverse countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

A festive tradition

Prague > Paris

Europe at Christmas transforms into a happy hive of activity as markets spring to life in every town and market square. From charming villages to great cultural centres, you can look forward to the hum and buzz of Christmas, as English Channel treats and toys, charms and trinkets of every description come out in a joyful display. This is a tradition that has changed very little across the centuries. In many places, the delicacies and decorations still take a very traditional form, and you’d be forgiven for wondering whether you’ve somehow stepped back in time with the ‘Ghost of Christmas Past’.

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 Wales its idyllic tributary, the Moselle.

Zurich > Amsterdam Netherlands

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 English favoured by Hollywood directors. From Lorelei, the Rhine river siren said to lure sailors to their demise, to the Channel legendary Black Forest.

Immerse yourself in tales old and new Not all of Europe’s most riveting history lies in the distant past, in tales of royal feuds, religious schisms and medieval intrigues. In fact, many of the most interesting aspects of its history are considerably English Channel closer to now. Nothing exemplifies this fact more than a tour of places such as Berlin and Warsaw. From the birth of modern European states in the 19th century, to the confronting realities of the Second World War, these are cities whose recent backgrounds are as complex as they are fascinating. Of course, there’s more than enough ancient history to whet your appetite too, from the beautiful urban centres of Eastern Europe to the many oldAtlantic towns that dot Ocean Europe’s magical waterways.

Take a journey down a river of dreams The Seine isn’t the largest river in Europe, or even France, but it may be the most renowned – and for good reason. This splendid waterway cuts through the heart of Paris, before winding its way along some of the most celebrated sites in northern France. There are few superlatives that do justice to beautiful Paris, as you’ll have ample opportunity to discover. Beyond Paris, you can look forward to a serene cruise to Honfleur, by the open waters of the English Channel, pausing at the most beautiful landmarks along the way. Les Andelys, Rouen, Caudebec-en-Caux – all the key points in this itinerary showcase fine historic settings and beautiful environs.

From delightful Bruges, where you can watch white swans gliding gracefully along the city’s charming canals, to the Loire Valley, with its great rolling vineyards, there’s an abundance of beauty on this itinerary, which takes in the best of the region, covering both land and water. However, there’s also plenty to fascinate in other ways, not least of all visits to the historical battlefields of the Somme, and the Normandy beaches, as well as the iconic castle of Mont Saint-Michel, perched just off the Brittany coast.

However, by the time you’ve fully explored the Douro’s wondrous valleys and friendly village communities, you’ll find yourself completely and hopelessly in love.

A truly timeless place Portugal’s Douro River winds its way through towns that have somehow managed to preserve their distinctive culture, and way of life, even as the world all around them has succumbed to change.

Porto > Porto

From elegant Lamego to Regua and Vega de Terron you’ll find that people still ply their traditional trades 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 welcoming.

A tale of two rivers Even with the sheer abundance of beautiful rivers to choose from, the Seine and Douro are two of Europe’s most tempting waterways. In many ways, both are like worlds unto themselves, providing 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. The Douro begins its journey in vibrant Porto, Portugal’s second largest city before entering a land that time seems to have forgotten. Combine the two in one wonderful itinerary and you can look forward to enjoying a truly spectacular experience.

River cruising guarantee A

B

All-inclusive cover Staying true to our commitment of being all-inclusive, Scenic has parterned with a well-known global insurance company to offer, for the first time, river cruising travel insurance. On every Scenic river cruise you’ll be automatically covered once you commence your cruise for any delays or cancellations that occur due to weather, natural disasters, mechanical breakdowns or strikes. There’s nothing extra to pay, we automatically cover you in the price you pay for your cruise. We appreciate that you’ve invested a lot in your holiday with us and we want to ensure that we provide you with peace of mind when travelling with Scenic. Our river cruising guarantee is designed to give you comfort and assurance for certain events which prevent you from cruising, and are not considered typical or usual to river cruising. Our river cruising guarantee is designed to insure for unforeseen events rather than minor delays or deviations. In the event that a claim is required, instead of the industry standard of future cruise credits you will be refunded in cash.
