Entertainment

On a Scenic river cruise, time is of the essence. Time to unwind. Time to immerse yourself in each port of call. Time to savour authentic experiences.

Instead you’ll find a sun-soaked deck that is perfect for reading your next book or a cosy lounge offering refreshing drinks. Immerse yourself in live music, local performances, informative lectures, and the exquisite Wellness Centre, where pampering and rejuvenation await.  

Facilities and Amenities

With an intimate capacity of just 163 guests, you’ll always find a quiet spot to relax and rejuvenate onboard a Scenic river cruise. Experience the exclusive Salt Therapy Lounge where serenity and revitalisation await, take an early morning yoga class on the expansive rooftop area, the Sun Deck. With the clever design of Scenic’s Space-Ships, there are up to five dining venues on offer, range from casual to fine dining. And each ships’ spacious public areas provide breathtaking views, whether you’re lounging on the Sun Deck or sipping a drink at the Panorama Lounge & Bar.

Insider Tip

Certain river cruise itineraries are universally popular and they can sell out quickly, as can suite categories. It’s often a good idea to book as soon as availability opens, which is usually 12 to 18 months prior to travel. While you may be able to find availability on a sailing that departs sooner than that, if you want your pick of itinterary dates and suite category, then it’s best to plan in advance for your next river cruise experience.

Cruising with Children

On Scenic river cruises, children over the age of 12 are welcome onboard, and all guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian at all times. No children’s programs or babysitting services are available on any of the ships, so this style of cruising is often better suited to adults.

Experience the ultimate freedom at each destination, with the exclusive Scenic Freechoice Shore Excursion program. Plan your perfect day by choosing from a variety of options available to you. Whether you’re craving a more relaxed pace or seeking to maximise your adventure, Scenic’s Freechoice program offers an array of options – all included in your fare. Scenic also offers deeper cultural immersion options called Scenic Enrich. These tours range from private concerts to exclusive behind-the-scenes access, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in your destination.

However, there might be certain limitations on board and during excursions, and  while collapsible wheelchairs are generally allowed on board, access can still be a concern for passengers using wheelchairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the Sun Deck open for use?

 

The Sun Deck is sometimes not accessible due to the number of low bridges on the waterways. This also limits access to the vitality pool. Otherwise, the Sun Deck is available to enjoy at all other times.

 

What river cruises is the Scenic Tailormade App available on?

 

The app is still in the first stage of development, so it hasn’t yet been rolled out fleet-wide. Currently the app contains information for all Scenic cruises on the Rhine/Main/Danube, the French and Portuguese rivers. It is not yet available for South East Asia and Scenic Eclipse ocean cruises.

 

Can Scenic cater to special dietary requirements?

 

Scenic will endeavour to accommodate all dietary requirements, but special requests cannot be guaranteed. We advise informing your cruise consultant of any special dietary needs at the time of booking, and then informing your Cruise Director when you embark on the ship.
