Scenic is an Australian-owned cruise company that built its reputation on luxury river cruising in Europe before expanding into ocean cruising with its Scenic Eclipse expedition ships. The brand is positioned at the premium end of the river market and the luxury expedition segment at sea.
Scenic's river ships — Space-Ships, as the brand calls them — are among the most design-forward afloat, with heated indoor-outdoor pools, butler service, multiple restaurants and e-bikes for shore excursions all included in the headline price. The programme covers the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Douro, Mekong and Irrawaddy.
The Scenic Eclipse expedition yachts extend the brand to polar and remote ocean destinations, carrying under 200 guests and equipped with submarines, helicopters and Zodiacs for off-ship exploration.
