Our ultra-luxury river cruises have been designed to be the ultimate 5-star experience of a lifetime. Custom designed, each Scenic Space-Ship caters for only up to 163 guests. Designed to take you to extraordinary regions, allowing you to relax and unwind as you explore multiple magical towns and cities.
Our innovative Scenic Space-Ships include an abundance of premium experiences and luxurious outdoor, dining and wellness areas. Low guest numbers of up to only 163 guests ensure a more intimate river cruise. These sleek ships are also able to dock in the heart of towns, so you can enjoy more time to explore onshore.
Our generously sized suites are elegantly appointed with premium amenities including a queen-size Scenic Slumber bed, a pillow menu, luxurious bath products and advanced air circulation systems (HVAC). The Balcony, Junior and Royal Suites feature your very own window to the world with our signature Scenic Sun Lounges – some of the largest balconies offered on European waterways.
Whether you prefer a fine dining experience with a six-course degustation, a relaxed café setting offering a delicious à la carte menu or dining in the privacy of your suite, you’ll find delectable options to suit your tastes and mood on board your Scenic Space-Ship. Premium international beverages^ – wine, beer, cocktails, spirits – are included and available all day, every day. It’s more than outstanding food and wine – it’s the fresh flavours of each region prepared by our innovative chefs.
