Before you choose a river cruise company, we recommend doing some research on the ships, features and inclusions:
A
Does the ship have a choice of dining venues? Are all my meals included on board and during shore excursions? Are all my drinks included all day, every day or just during lunch and dinner? Do I have a choice of which wine, beer or spirits I drink, or is it house wine only? Are cocktails included? Is my mini-bar and in-suite dining included? Do all suite types have included butler service? Are my transfers included to and from the ship? Are all tipping and gratuities included? Are all shore excursions included with nothing to pay once on board?
B
Are there a range of touring options to choose from each day based on my interests and desired activity levels? Are there options for self-guided touring and are e-bikes included at no charge?
By choosing Scenic, you’ll enjoy a truly all-inclusive river cruise in a class of its own.

Life on the river If you are dreaming of experiencing a river cruise, be prepared 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
Constant State of Flux
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 filled with locks and the MainDanube Canal has 16 locks, some as high as 25 metres/82 feet. The invention of the water locks is a true engineering marvel with Italian scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci, pitching in to perfect the process. Watching your Captain expertly manoeuvre your Scenic Space-Ship through the narrow canals is a special treat that awaits you on board.
As with any other element of Mother Nature, rivers have personalities of their own. Our state-of-the-art Scenic SpaceShips are designed to convert easily to slide under all kinds of bridges. While we make every effort to plan our trips to the last degree, some days the water levels simply don’t co-operate. This leads to lock closures or difficulties passing under historic and often low-slung bridges when water levels are either too high or too low. Our local offices throughout Europe monitor levels closely to handle all navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner to minimise disruptions.

What does an itinerary deviation look like? How could it impact my trip and how might I be compensated? A deviation can be a quick, minor inconvenience, a prolonged change or an extended disruption depending on the circumstances. A minor disruption may include:
A Scenic Diamond, Bordeaux, France B Panorama Lounge and Bar, Scenic Sapphire C Scenic Space-Ship navigating a lock
*Not valid for Russia
In the event that a ship can’t pass through a section of the river (due to water levels, a closed lock or river obstruction, for example), we use coaches to transfer you from your original Scenic Space-Ship to a new Space-Ship on the other side of the obstruction. These “ship swaps” are performed with the least impact possible with your Cruise Director accompanying you onto the new ship with your belongings to ensure the remainder of the cruise is as enjoyable as possible. You will be accommodated in a suite of the same type and value; should this not be possible you will be compensated the difference in the value of the suites.

Your Included River Cruise Cover*
A prolonged disruption may include:
An extended disruption or major impact to your itinerary:
Using coach transfers to the included sightseeing locations, while continuing to be accommodated on your Scenic Space-Ship. A prolonged disruption may also require us to continuously cruise without stopping for touring. Under Scenic’s River Cruise Cover you will be compensated between $100-$200 per person per day of the disruption should we not be able to fulfill the sightseeing listed in the itinerary.
In the event of an extended disruption, accommodation off ship will be in local hotels with all meals provided. To the best of our ability we will ensure the hotels are of similar standard to your Scenic Space-Ship. Meals will be included, however, alcoholic drinks and amenities such as butler service, may or may not be included. Touring will be undertaken by coach. As we understand this experience will not be same as being on board the Scenic Space-Ship, under Scenic’s River Cruise Cover you will be compensated based on the suite category booked, between $300-$800 per person per day for up to seven days. Alternatively, a full refund for the remainder of the cruise should you choose to disembark and end/finish your journey.
C
Staying true to our commitment of being truly all-inclusive, your Scenic river cruise automatically includes peace of mind River Cruise Cover. This may be enacted in the event of a deviation to compensate you for any changes to your itinerary. Scenic is committed to open and transparent communication. Should information about potential issues be available prior to your departure we will notify you and allow you to make an informed decision about your travel plans. Should the impact happen during your cruise, you will be notified by your Cruise Director on board that River Cruise Cover has been enacted. Once your cruise is complete, we will review the total number of days that were disrupted and provide you with a letter upon your return home with the amounts that can be claimed and details of the claims process. We appreciate that you’ve invested a lot of time and funds for your holiday with us, so we want to ensure that we provide you with peace of mind when travelling with Scenic.

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 of romances galore to discover and delight in. You may even compose a few new ones of your own.

CHRISTMAS CRUISES Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in some of the most wonderful places in the world. — Few experiences compare to the wonder of celebrating Christmas in Europe.

Christmas sweets are extra delicious when picked from the quaint ‘Budens’ of Cologne Cathedral Christmas Market. And Christmas memories are unforgettable when wrapped in the irresistible aromas of toasted almonds, spiced glühwein, warm gingerbread cookies, and the sight of freshly fallen snow.

Culinary Cruises
A
Gastronomic meal of the French To the French, food is more than just nourishment, it is a way of life. The philosophy is that if you haven’t enjoyed a feast of succulent and flavourful dishes made from carefully selected ingredients, set on a beautiful table, paired with fine wine, in the warm company of near and dear ones, it is as if you haven’t dined at all. So strong is France’s love affair with food that the ‘Gastronomic meal of the French’ is part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
Discover the elegant art of French cooking through Scenic’s exclusive Culinary Cruises. From joining a truffle farmer and his dogs to hunt for ‘black diamonds’ in the dirt, to fine wine tasting at some of the most prestigious wine estates of France, be a part of France’s love affair with food.
