Explore Iconic Destinations in Comfort

With Scenic Riverboat Cruise Line, you’ll visit some of the world’s most iconic and charming destinations, all while traveling in unparalleled style. Cruise through the storybook villages of France’s Rhône Valley, marvel at the famed tulip fields of the Netherlands, or explore the ancient wonders along the mighty Mekong River in Southeast Asia. Each port brings a new adventure, with excursions tailored to immerse you in local culture, history, and cuisine.

Scenic also offers their signature Scenic Freechoice and Scenic Enrich experiences.

  • Scenic Freechoice lets you customize your itinerary with a choice of included excursions, such as guided city tours, regional wine tastings, or active cycling adventures along the riverbanks.
  • Scenic Enrich takes your journey to the next level with exclusive cultural events, such as private, after hours concerts in historic European palaces or grand dining events in iconic venues inaccessible to the ordinary traveler.

Unrivaled Service and Personalized Attention

What truly sets Scenic apart is their exceptional service, affectionately referred to as the “Nth Degree.” This level of care is designed to make every guest feel like a VIP. With a nearly 1:1 guest to staff ratio, you can expect unparalleled attention to detail and personalized care throughout your journey.

From the moment you step on board, the highly trained crew takes the time to understand your preferences.

This dedication ensures your journey is truly effortless and entirely focused on relaxation and discovery.

Sophistication Meets Sustainability

Scenic’s fleet of “Space-Ships” is designed not only for luxury but also with a keen eye on sustainability. Advanced technology, including sophisticated wastewater treatment and quiet propulsion systems, ensures a minimal environmental footprint, allowing travelers to enjoy nature responsibly. Scenic’s innovative approach extends to their culinary offerings, which feature locally sourced, regional ingredients that reflect the authentic flavors of the countries you explore.

Select ships even feature a Salt Therapy Lounge for unique wellness benefits. From eco friendly engineering to supporting local communities through tourism, Scenic embodies a commitment to responsible, opulent travel. Your concierge at Scott & Thomas can provide more details about how Scenic combines opulence with sustainability.
