The Mekong River The Mekong is a trans-boundary waterway which flows for 4,350 kilometres through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Despite only being Asia’s seventh longest river, it is one of the most biologically diverse in the world – second only to the Amazon. From floating markets to traditional sampans, it is truly fascinating to see how locals live in peaceful union with one of nature’s most plentiful sources.

The Irrawaddy River The Irrawaddy River cuts a peaceful path through central Myanmar for over 2,000 kilometres from its glacial origins in the Himalayas to the Andaman Sea. Experience tranquil pleasures, visionary landmarks and age-old traditions along the water’s edge, while locals make the most of the river as means of transport and life-giver.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a moment of wonder. Wonder is a personal emotion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 into 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.

We don’t want you to miss a minute of the exotic scenery that surrounds our ships as you cruise the waterways of South East Asia. Every suite on our 5-star ships offers a private balcony, and a river view for every guest. And that’s just the start. At the gentle press of a button, glass smoothly glides and your balcony seamlessly converts into our exclusive Scenic Sun Lounge, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of extra space as well as the unfolding landscape. 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 expansive Royal Panorama Suites redefine the industry standard in river cruising accommodation. Scenic Spirit and Scenic Aura both boast elegant lounge areas, oversized bathrooms and a private terrace featuring an outdoor Jacuzzi and daybed. All of our Grand Deluxe Suites also feature stylish lounge areas, spacious bathrooms (stocked with spoil-yourself lavish toiletries) and queen-size 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. Downy pillows, Egyptian cotton sheets, plush bathrobes and complimentary shoeshine serve to enhance the ambiance of an opulent 5-star hotel. Our balcony suites are the most spacious on the Mekong 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 of course a complimentary mini-bar and Wi-Fi internet. We believe the hand-finished elements make the difference, and if we’re honest, we're hoping you'll want for nothing.

Even as an experienced cruiser, I can’t believe the space and luxury that is afforded in our suite. While we explore ashore, we are assured of our creature comforts back on board when we return to relax with a refreshing drink. Brian, 59 Mandalay, Myanmar N 21° 57’ E 96° 5’

Yet among the developing skyline it is still possible to feel as if you are in the city of Graham Greene’s ‘The Quiet American’ as you walk around the historical grouping of French colonial hotels. Known as the ‘Paris of the East’ embrace the ‘joie de vivre’ as you immerse yourself in the French influence of Hanoi. Established for over 1,000 years as a bustling marketplace, explore the 36 streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter – each street traditionally dedicated to a specific item such as silk or sugar. Long an inspiration for writers, poets, and painters, let yourself get lost in this dazzling labyrinth of hues and flavours. Elegant and graceful, the port of Hoi An is a town destined to delight. The World Heritage-listed Old Town with its staggering collection of homes, temples and warehouses combine to make this a wonderful example

of a perfectly preserved South East Asian trading port. Pay homage to the Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese traders that inhabited it for centuries and receive a rare glimpse into this timeless city that is yours for the taking. Tip of your tongue From the ‘heaven on earth’ crunch of Bánh Xèo to the belly warming traditional Pho, it will be almost impossible to know what culinary delight to indulge in first. Fragrant and sophisticated, Vietnamese cuisine is considered to be simply one of the best in the world.

The Bay of Dragons A rich tapestry of myth and legend surrounds this rare and extraordinary landscape. Halong Bay translates to ‘descending dragon’ with many believing the islets and karsts were created out of emeralds cast down from dragons defending the land way back in the mists of time. Let your imagination soar as you explore the unique folklore of this land. The Au Co When you travel to the World Heritage-listed Halong Bay, Scenic partners with the fantastic Au Co so that you can make the most of your three days exploring this natural wonder. The Au Co is the most spacious ship cruising the Gulf of Tonkin. Setting the standard for safety and luxury, the Au Co stands out with her innovative design and luxurious style. The upper deck restaurant and open-air bar are designed according to the principles of Feng Shui, creating a sense of connection with the environment and immersion within oriental culture and tradition. And for a spot of indulgence enjoy the open-air Jacuzzi and spa. Each of the spacious air-conditioned cabins has its own private balcony for unparalleled views of the passing landscape. While on board try early morning Tai Chi classes, or an afternoon cooking demonstration with traditional dishes.

Laos

Authenticity is the key mantra for this lovely land. Like the Mekong, the pace of life ebbs and flows and the aura of calm that surrounds its inhabitants is infectious. Asia’s best kept secret, Laos is somewhere you’ll want to return to again and again. A hidden gem Untainted by mass tourism and possessing some of the most stunning scenic beauty, Laos has it all: fascinating colonial-era history, ancient cities, a rich and diverse cuisine and truly stunning handicrafts. Sip genuine Laotian coffee on the Boloven Plateau, discover tranquility at the Kuang Si Waterfalls or wander through the fabulous night markets of Luang Prabang, every moment of your stay in Laos will be a moment of bliss. Explore its spiritual heart A sea of saffron robes will often greet you in the most Buddhist of cities, Luang Prabang. Witnessing the serene and spiritual ritual of the monks receiving alms on a magical morning will set you up for a beautiful day. Breathe in the heady scent of frangipani and marvel at

the array of colour that waits to greet you throughout this ancient capital of Laos. A thing of beauty is a joy forever Whether it’s taking in a tangerine sunset on the languorous Mekong, uncovering hundreds of jaw-dropping centuries-old Buddha images in the sacred caves of Pak Ou or trying to count all the shades of verdant green, (there are hundreds) on display across the terraces and plateaus of Champasak, Laos proclaims itself to be ‘simply beautiful’ and it never fails to deliver.
