Setting new standards for all-inclusive luxury on the rivers and oceans, Scenic is an award-winning cruise operator born in Australia. From humble beginnings, Scenic soon became Australia’s largest coach touring operator before building an industry-leading cruise fleet that offers unparalleled exploration in every corner of the globe.
Scenic river cruises launched in 2006 and the line began building their own signature Space-Ships soon after. Regarded as some of the most spacious and comfortable on the water, the 13-strong fleet specialises in five-star Europe river cruising and adventures along the Mekong, offering endless combinations of ships and itineraries.
With two revolutionary Discovery Yachts sailing from Antarctica to the Arctic and everywhere in between, Scenic brings 6-star ultra-luxury to expedition cruising. State-of-the-art features ensure the highest levels of safety, comfort and environmental sustainability. Plush onboard features include vitality pools, thermal salt lounges, a bespoke yoga and pilates studio, and up to 10 dining venues. Incredible shore excursions await with two onboard helicopters and a custom-built submarine. Personal butlers cater to every whim and an expert Discovery Team leads immersive experiences.
Scenic luxury cruises and tours are designed for the luxury traveller who is looking for a once-in-a-lifetime journey where money is no object. Children over the age of 12 are welcome but there are no dedicated facilities, so expect most passengers to be mature travellers without kids in tow.
