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.

THE SCENIC EXPERIENCE

A

In 2016 we celebrate 30 years in the business. We’re experts at what we do and we still love handcrafting extraordinary experiences for our guests, just as much as we did back in 1986. – Our passion for quality travel is what sets us apart and we would love you to join us for our next journey. Our first land tour was to the Great Ocean Road in Victoria and since that first modest bus trip, we have introduced journeys that cover every continent on Earth, including Europe, the Americas, South East Asia, India and Africa, Australia and New Zealand, in total travelling to over 60 countries across the globe. Our handpicked staff never lose their sense of excitement for the trip ahead. From our Journey Designers curating the best of what Europe has to offer, to our on board butlers greeting each new guest. Every trip is a unique opportunity to raise the bar further, and to exceed expectations – both yours, and ours. We realise that every trip is as unique as our guests, which is why we offer the biggest range of all-inclusive excursions, allowing you to tailor your holiday to be the trip of a lifetime. We take pride in what we do. We go to the Nth degree.

We source from regional suppliers, meaning our food is both fresh and in season. Our chefs draw inspiration from the countries we pass through so you’ll experience the true cuisine of every region. Your dining options on board range from casual all day dining at the River Café, to Portobellos fine dining and degustation dining at Table La Rive. And of course there’s an extensive selection of complimentary beverages all day, too.

The Nth Degree We’ll greet you personally at the airport and arrange for your transfer both to and from your cruise, regardless of when you arrive. When not on board, all our transport, whether it’s by coach or rail, is of the very highest standard. We use local guides as we believe nobody knows an area like someone who lives there. Our tours will not only show you the highlights but the hidden gems that only a local knows. Absolutely everything is taken care of.

A personal hello We’ll personally greet you at your arrival airport and arrange your transport to your city hotel or cruise departure point. At the end of your cruise you depart at your convenience, no hanging around with your luggage for hours. Travel in style As well as travelling in luxury on your Scenic Space-Ship, all other elements of your journey are just as bespoke. Whether you’re travelling by road or rail, your transport will be first class or luxury standard. Our coaches are spacious and quiet and our rail excursions are all included and link seamlessly together for the Scenic all-inclusive experience.

Local knowledge We use local guides onshore as we believe nobody knows a location quite like someone who lives there. We’ll take you to all the must-see highlights but we’ll also take you off the beaten track to explore the little known gems and delightful back streets that only we know. The best in the business Scenic Cruise Directors are the best in the business. At your service and on hand throughout your cruise, they make sure every last detail of your trip is flawless. No question is too big or small and no effort is too much. Your enjoyment is their reward.

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 such diverse countries as the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

From Lorelei, the Rhine English river siren said to lure sailors to their demise, toChannel the legendary Black Forest.

There are few superlatives that do justice to beautiful Paris, as you’ll have ample opportunity to discover first hand. Beyond Paris, you can look forward to a serene cruise downriver to Honfleur, by the open waters of the English Channel, pausing at the most arresting landmarks along the way. Les Andelys, Rouen, Caudebecen-Caux – all the key points in this itinerary showcase fine historic settings and beautiful environs. However, we’ve saved some highlights – evocative Vernon and charming Conflans – for the return trip, including one last unforgettable fling in Paris.

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.

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, while 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 the trades they 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.

Your journey from Paris takes you down the Seine to fascinating riverside attractions. Some, like Lyons la Forêt, are simply beautiful beyond words. Others, like Rouen, offer fascinating insights into history. From there you’ll journey on to beautiful Honfleur before returning to Paris and the many alluring destinations reserved for the return cruise. However, all that merely serves to whet your appetite for your second course, the beautiful Bordeaux region, with its delicious offering of great food, fine wine and centuries of high drama and historical intrigue.

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

English Channel

Somme Fécamp Battlefields Bolbec

In many ways, both 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 Lights, 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.

In terms of potential pleasures on offer, there’s plenty to tempt between beautiful Bordeaux and the delightful Douro Valley. Some will opt for the more seasoned sensuality of Bordeaux, with its incontestable reputation as a wine producer and the central place it occupies in the history of Western culture; others will choose picture perfect Portugal, with its wonderful port wines, its splendid rural vistas, and a history every inch as absorbing as any in Europe. It would be hard for any discerning traveller to choose. Of course, with this itinerary, you don’t have to.

Take the opportunity to visit local markets in the company of an expert chef where you’ll learn about local produce and indulge in tastings at the food stalls. A real treat for any foodie.

From beautiful vinelands to spectacular limestone cliffs, dramatic cathedrals to ancient stone churches, there are wonders of every degree on this itinerary. You’ll get to experience a spectacular array of wines, from Bordeaux’s Grand Cru Class vintages to Portugal’s renowned ports. Witness the sun going down behind the open waters of the English Channel, and toast starkly contrasting sunsets among beautiful valley hills.

Russia’s many mysteries revealed

St. Petersburg > Moscow

In the words of Winston Churchill, mighty Russia has always been “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”.

Ukraine

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 Finland 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 offers the ultimate river cruise, providing sanctuary from the inconveniences of travelling great distances by land, allowing you to immerse yourself completely in the many cultures and wonders to be experienced on the way.

Wonder awaits

Copenhagen > Moscow

What exactly is wonder? The answer is simple – you’ll know it the moment you experience it.

Alesund

When you first encounter Norway’s Geiranger Fjord you’re certain to leave with the inexplicable sensation that you’ve just experienced something special – in fact, something quite beyond words. That’s what we mean when we talk of wonder, and you’ll have more than one such moment while exploring Scandinavia and Russia with us, whether it’s your first encounter with a herd of Norwegian reindeer, or waking up for the first time in Stockholm, one of the world’s finest cities. Cruising down the majestic Volga through the beautiful Russian heartland may leave you with the same lingering sense of amazement, as will witnessing the splendour of Peterhof’s Grand Palace in St. Petersburg. It’s impossible to tell exactly when that feeling will strike. All we know is that it will.

Berlin > Moscow

Some love Berlin for its modernity and its thriving culture, while others love it for its fascinating and dramatic history.

Ukraine

Of course, opinions on this intriguing city are not nearly as divided today as they have been in times past. Its fortunes have come full circle since it served as the capital of a newly unified Germany, or the centre of the Third Reich, or the standoff point between the East and West. Not only is it a terrific place to visit, it’s the perfect gateway for your trip to the equally intriguing Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and beyond that – mighty Russia itself. Once these cities and lands were hidden by the heavy veil of what was then known as the Iron Curtain. Today, you’re free to discover them at your leisure, and explore their many wonders for yourself.
