Life on the river If you’ve never experienced river cruising before, prepare 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 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 replete 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,

While our state-of-the-art Scenic Space-Ships are designed to convert easily to slide under all kinds of bridges, in times of unsuitable water levels, whether high or low, we always have a Plan B ready to activate. With local offices throughout Europe, we are well equipped to handle all navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner, with minimal disruption to your holiday plans.

In 2020 our partnership with National Geographic will offer special itineraries through Europe, including Portugal’s Douro Valley and the mighty Volga River in Russia. They will combine our luxury river cruise experience with National Geographic’s legacy of science, conservation and exploration to create unforgettable experiences. Aboard each river cruise, a National Geographic Expert will share their knowledge and insights, through fascinating presentations and informal discussions. A National Geographic Photographer will also join our Expedition river cruising itineraries to provide photography tips. Scenic’s shared passion for discovery, curiosity about history, a fascination for the world’s cultures, and desire to preserve its future has led to this partnership with National Geographic Expeditions to offer unique river cruise expeditions that explore the far corners of the world. A portion of the profits from these river cruises will be donated to the National Geographic Society, which supports researchers and experts engaged in protecting and preserving the planet and its various species and populations.

EUROPE The majestic waterways of Europe have long been its lifeline. Once vital trade routes, each turn of the many rivers has played a part in shaping the region’s destiny. — Dotted with fairytale castles, ancient ruins, and quaint towns, these waterways harbour historical secrets and stories that seek a patient ear. Each destination has something new to offer and you will find each European river is distinct from the other. Delight in their uniqueness as you cruise the Rhine, Moselle, Main and Danube rivers through diverse countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

Jewels of Europe 15 Day Cruise

Amsterdam > Budapest

Grand palaces and fairytale castles A region steeped in the history of ancient trade routes, today the rivers of the Rhine, Main and Danube meander through forested hillsides, idyllic vineyards and romantic towns. Restored castles still stand watch from their position atop dramatic hilltops, just as they did in the days of feudal knights and land barons. However, today the sites of ancient battles and medieval skirmishes have been replaced by a tranquil countryside with thriving towns and villages. Elsewhere, romantic ruins echo with a timeless beauty and Gothic spires rise out of the picturesque communities nestled along the river banks. This is a journey that will take you through the Europe of your imagination, full of wonder, recalling medieval jousts, cobbled streets and childhood fairytales while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Romantic Rhine & Moselle 15 Day Cruise

Zurich > Amsterdam

Romance is alive and well on the Rhine Anyone who doesn’t believe in the power of romance has never travelled along the Rhine or its idyllic tributary, the Moselle. In fact, on this itinerary, there’s probably a fairytale moment waiting just beyond the next river bend. The castles that grace this region sometimes seem as if they were lifted straight from the silver screen – hardly surprising as it’s a region that’s long been favoured by Hollywood directors. From Lorelei, the Rhine river siren said to lure sailors to their demise, to the legendary Black Forest, which still resonates with imaginative children’s tales, there are stories and romances galore to discover and delight in. You may even compose a few new ones of your own.

Unforgettable Douro 11 Day Cruise

Porto > Porto

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. 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 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.

Available now for Passion Play 2020

Oberammergau A

In 2020, thousands of people from all over the world will gather in the tiny hamlet of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany, for a performance of the famed Passion Play. Scenic is inviting you to be part of this unforgettable experience which only occurs every 10 years. The Passion Play, a remarkable stage production performed by 2,000 local Oberammergau residents, tells the story of the life and death of Jesus Christ through dramatic performances, with choral and musical accompaniment. The origins of the play began in 1633, when the residents of Oberammergau vowed that if they

were spared from the bubonic plague sweeping the region, they would produce a play for all time depicting the life and death of Jesus. When the death rate began to subside, the villagers decided they had been spared. The first play was performed in 1634, and it has run ever since, with the five-month run in 2020 marking its forty-second performance. It is the world’s longest-running play and widely regarded as the most important Passion Play in the world.
