Truly all-inclusive... and exclusive Scenic Enrich

C

Scenic Enrich experiences elevate your cultural discoveries to the realms of royalty, to modern times and the times of fables, folklore and sophistication. Reserved for Scenic guests, these sensory encounters place you at the heart of the world’s most refined art, music and architecture.

Tonight, your high-society evening may feature a classical concert. Stirring strings revive the genius of Mozart or Strauss, as the melancholic music echoes around the stone walls of the opulent Palais Liechtenstein in Vienna. Royals and nobles sat where you are right now, moved by the same soaring arrangement. Tonight, the palace is yours. Or you may be heading to the 18th-century Rastatt Palace, the medieval Pope’s Palace in Avignon or Château de La Roche-Guyon on the banks of the Seine, for an experience like no other.

The majestic castles, the evocative artworks, the weight of antiquity and the whispers that linger in the hallways, have all stood the test of time. And so will your memories. More an occasion than an experience, it’s the cumulation of these unique, enriching evenings you will carry with you forever.

Life on the Rivers

Locked Rivers

To make traversing these rivers accessible and seamless, water locks were added. A lock is essentially an elevator that allows ships to be raised or lowered to overcome the water level disparities between different sections of the rivers. Europe’s waterways are filled with locks and the Main-Danube Canal alone has 16 locks, some as high as 80 ft.

The invention of the water locks is a true engineering marvel with Italian scientist and artist, Leonardo da Vinci, providing clever designs to perfect the process. Watching your Captain expertly maneuver your SpaceShip through these narrow locks is a treat.

Constant State of Flux

Our state-of-the-art Scenic Space-Ships are designed to convert easily to slide under bridges and cruise shallow waters. However, despite detailed planning, some days Mother Nature simply doesn’t cooperate. High or low water levels lead to lock closures and difficulties passing under bridges. Our local offices in Europe monitor levels closely to handle all navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner to minimize disruptions.

Itinerary Deviations

locks are engineering marvels along Europe’s rivers

the

A deviation can be a minor inconvenience, a prolonged change or an extended disruption depending on the specific circumstances on the rivers at that time. These generally occur when a ship can’t pass through or stop in a section of the river due to water levels, a closed lock or river obstruction.

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.

Minor Disruption

Coaches transfer guests from their original Space-Ship to a new one 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 all belongings. 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.

Prolonged Disruption

Extended/Major Disruption

Coaches may be used to transfer guests to included sightseeing locations, while continuing to be accommodated on your Scenic Space-Ship. A prolonged disruption may also require the Space-Ships 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.

Accommodation may need to be provided off-ship in hotels with all meals provided. To the best of our ability, we ensure hotels are of a similar standard to your SpaceShip. Meals will be included, however, alcoholic drinks and amenities such as butler service, may or may not be included. Touring is by coach.

As we understand this experience will not be same as being on board the 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 will be provided should you choose to disembark and end your journey.

3. Sourcing Sustainably

As we meander through Europe, many of our exquisite dishes on board feature local produce. Wine from small vineyards along the Moselle, Rhine and Douro rivers. Local artisan cheese in Bordeaux, and fresh produce from farmer’s markets. Our goal is to source sustainably every step of the way. From produce to packaging, recycling, and our choice of suppliers.

Our European itineraries include Certified Cherish the Planet experiences that ensure local businesses benefit from our journeys.

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 favored 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.

The name Bordeaux has always evoked impressions of quiet sensual pleasure, where the civilized and the natural coexist in easy harmony, and wine lovers are free to engage in their favorite pastime – savoring the world’s finest wines.

Unforgettable Douro

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 wines they produce, from the many highly loved varieties of port, to their fine unfortified reds and whites, are as rich and plentiful as ever. 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.
