Scenic Group announced its 2024 European River Cruise offerings featuring a couple of new itineraries: a 10-day Danube in Depth visiting the historic cities and towns on the Budapest Hungary-Nuremberg Germany (and the reverse) route; and an 11-day "Iconic Danube with Prague", spending 3 nights exploring Czechia's capital city before/after taking in the highlights of 3 other countries.
Scenic offers savings of up to US$1,500 per couple. If the booking is paid in full at least 12 months before departure, passengers can choose either a free land extension, free roundtrip economy airfare, or an additional US$2,000 per couple savings.
For passengers looking to go to France in 2024, it is even more important to book early as it is to be a busy year with the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 8-day Highlights of Normandy & the Seine is the best itinerary for learning the importance of the D-Day landings in Normandy as well as enjoying the countryside along the Seine. Scenic offers 2- and 3-night Paris City extensions.
Scenic also offers 12 different city stays/extensions. The 5-day Ljubljana & Zagreb extends a number of itineraries including the 14-day Jewels of Europe. It takes in the natural beauty of Slovenia & Croatia combined with history and glacial lakes. 3 nights in either Lisbon (Portugal) or Madrid (Spain) allow for exploration of the two capital cities before/after sailing on the Douro.
Guests can also extend an 11-day Black Sea Explorer voyage with 6 days in Transylvania and see the former summer residence of the Romanian family Bran Castle, home of Count Dracula.
For those looking to spend more time exploring Europe, the company has Ultimate River Cruise Combinations, featuring some of their most popular itineraries.
The 23-day North Sea to Black Sea takes in the Rhine, Main, and Danube as they wind through 8 countries. Guests can mix it up with the 21-day Gems of the Seine & Unforgettable Douro, sailing 2 rivers with different sceneries (cathedrals and architectural wonders or D-Day landings in Normandy as compared to Portugal’s Porto and the serenity of the land, while both sharing a love of great food and wines). 6 offerings run from 21 to 23 days.
The 5-star Scenic Space-Ships provide all-inclusive luxury experiences, from private butler service and unlimited complimentary beverages/spirits with a mini-bar re-stocked daily, to 6 onboard dining options and a fitness center and wellness area. Everything (except a haircut/massage) is included: expert local guides, tips and gratuities, all Scenic Freechoice activities that allow for a personalized vacation, plus Scenic Enrich events (exclusive to Scenic and its guests).
