Scenic River Cruises & Tours

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, an Australian luxury brand launched in 1986, has expanded over the past decade to become not only one of the leading river cruise lines in Europe and on the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia, but also a growing player in luxury expedition cruising. All of Scenic's river ships are purpose-built, company-owned, and constantly renovated so they maintain a modern look that's luxurious and elegant, without being too over-the-top. 

On the rivers of Central Europe, the company’s fleet includes its signature 163-guest Scenic Space-Ships — such as Scenic Jasper and Scenic Opal — known for their contemporary décor and multiple dining experiences, while slightly smaller but no less luxurious Space-Ships, accommodating 96 to 149 guests cruise the rivers of France and Portugal. On the Mekong, 68-guest Scenic Spirit is also appealingly modern, with spacious suites and four dining options.

In addition, Scenic launched its first luxury ocean and expedition ship, the 228-passenger Scenic Eclipse I, in 2019. Its identical twin, Scenic Eclipse II, debuted in 2023. Designed with two helicopters, a seven-seat submarine, five restaurants, a movie theater, a deck-top teppanyaki grill, and a 5,000-square-foot spa, the ship sails to the polar regions of Antarctica and the Arctic as well as Europe and the Americas — giving the brand’s river-cruise clientele an opportunity to broaden their horizons.
