When you cruise the iconic waterways of Europe with Scenic, the experience is in a class of its own.

With decades of expertise, we continue to offer the most enjoyable and luxurious way to explore Europe’s historic cities and delve into fascinating cultures.

The experts in European river cruising

When we designed and launched our custom designed Scenic Space-Ships our first Scenic Space-Ships in 2008, our aim was to set the benchmark in ultra-luxury river cruising.

Five Steps to Plan your Perfect European River Cruise

Step 1: Decide which countries you want to explore

On a Scenic ultra-luxury river cruise, you can seamlessly visit multiple countries in one journey, so having your list in hand will help you find the one that better aligns with your European dreams.

Step 2: Choose truly all-inclusive

Scenic’s truly all-inclusive philosophy means managing your budget is easy because all your drinks, meals, touring, butler service and even tipping are included in the cost of your cruise. With constantly fluctuating foreign currencies, locking in your Scenic river cruise and all its inclusions allows you to relax even before embarkation.

Step 3: Determine the type of experiences you’d like to have during your cruise

Every Scenic European river cruise offers a wide range of Scenic Freechoice activities each day. Rated Active, Moderate or Relaxed, they enable you to follow your preferred pace when exploring your destination.

Step 4: Narrow down the time of year you’d like to travel in

Spring (Mar-May) brings exceptional colours as the fields become blanketed with blooming flowers.

Summer (Jun-Aug), days feel longer and warmer, perfect for more open-air activities and enjoying the many cultural festivals.

Autumn (Sept-Nov) enjoy seasonal changes like the rusty hues of the falling leaves and enjoying Europe with fewer crowds and milder temperatures.

Winter (Dec) is a magical time with the traditional Christmas markets in destinations such as Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

Step 5: Decide how much time you want to spend in Europe

Deciding on the length of time you want to travel for will help you decide on your itinerary duration. Are you interested in pre or post-cruise arrangements? Some travellers like to combine a short cruise with a land extension journey or city stay to make the most of their time and create a seamless Scenic journey, while others prefer to simply complete a longerlength cruise or several cruises back-to-back.
