Scenic - the France River Cruise Specialist

France offers so much in terms of incredible scenery, gourmet cuisine and inimitable style and hospitality, and there is no better way to enjoy all of this than on a luxury Scenic river cruise.

Scenic is the France River Cruise Specialist and offers unique and diverse journeys along every major river in France – the Saône and Rhône, Seine and the waterways of Bordeaux. No two journeys are the same with each region possessing its own special charm. Many of their itineraries include extra days to allow you even more time to immerse yourself in the unique regions of this fascinating country.

Scenic’s 2017 France River Cruising program includes a rebuild of their Scenic Space-Ships in France and the launch of on board cooking school - Scenic Culinaire.

The redesigned ships will open up public spaces and reduce the number of guests to 155 (78 cabins) but not staff numbers; offering guests an even more personalised level of service than ever before. The redesigned ships will all feature two 47sqm Royal Owner’s Suites on the Diamond Deck - the biggest suites on board European river cruise ships, larger wellness centres and gyms plus a vitality pool.

One of the most exciting new elements of these ships will be the exclusive Scenic Culinaire experience. Scenic has transformed one of the on board dining venues into a private cooking emporium offering tailored cooking classes. The dedicated space will feature cooking stations, a cheese and wine cellar, fresh ingredients will be sourced from local markets and our cooking instructors will introduce guests to regional recipes based on the regions we are cruising through. Scenic Culinaire features a real-time camera and screen to ensure each participant can see every cooking move in detail. Plenty of sessions are scheduled throughout the cruise, however with exclusive numbers, guests are encouraged to register their interest early.

Scenic’s fully escorted Freechoice, Enrich and Sundowner activities provide immersive cultural experiences, whilst their exclusive Scenic Tailormade GPS devices can guide you through your own personal excursions onshore. Together, they offer unforgettable journeys, peppered with astounding discoveries.

New Scenic Enrich experiences include Scenic Rouge - performed under a big-top in Lyon where guests will enjoy a traditional French cabaret performance including the famous can-can, and an exclusive four-course dining experience with matched vintages at the acclaimed Mumm Champagne house in Reims. New Scenic Freechoice activities include a vineyard hike and wine tasting in Tournon, and for the more active there are three new cycling options in Caudebec, Arnhem and Bordeaux.

Scenic has a number of Earlybird offers available until 30 September or until sold out – included flights to France; fly for $995 per person; Eco-Biz Flight combos and fly business class to France from $4,995 per person.

Their unique cruise only prices, available for a limited time, allow your greater flexibility to book your flights separately. Every river cruise includes all-inclusive 5-star luxury, from spacious suites, fine dining and top-shelf beverages, plus exclusive events and onshore excursions. You can experience an 11 day Beautiful Bordeaux or 11 day Gems of the Seine river cruise from just $4,195pp*.
