There is something extraordinary about exploring Europe in its most peaceful moments. Visit iconic destinations with greater ease, creating a deeper connection to the region all while enjoying greater value in a truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury journey.
The Quiet Luxury of the Season With fewer visitors at celebrated landmarks, travelling in February, March and November allows you to admire centuries of history and artistry with ease - plus, for returning guests, to see Europe under a different light. On the waterways, a gentler rhythm prevails as many operators step away from the season. Enjoy more opportunities to dock in prime locations, creating a calm sense of arrival. Thoughtfully shaped by the season, each river cruise is enriched with experiences designed to make the most of the cooler months. From intimate winter wine cellar tastings and market-fresh cuisine to world-class art and cultural moments.

Your 5-star floating hotel cruises through some of Europe’s most iconic waterways, where you can witness the awe-inspiring beauty on the shores, and human engineering at its finest.
River Locks
Constant State of Flux
Itinerary Deviations
Water locks were introduced to enable seamless navigation on Europe’s rivers.
Our state-of-the-art Scenic Space-Ships are designed to easily convert and fit under bridges.
Scenic may need to make changes to your itinerary or provide alternative arrangements during your journey.
Influenced by Leonardo da Vinci’s clever designs, these ship elevators efficiently raise or lower vessels to overcome water level variations. They are a true engineering marvel, with some as high as 25 metres.
However, despite detailed planning, some days Mother Nature simply doesn’t cooperate. Our European offices closely monitor water levels and swiftly address navigation challenges to minimise disruptions.
A deviation may be a minor disruption, involve changes to your itinerary or involve alternative accommodation depending on the specific circumstances.
What does an itinerary deviation look like? How could it impact my trip? Minor disruption
Minor disruptions may occur during the cruise. This could include for example an inability to sail for part of the day, using coaches to transfer guests to an alternative Space-Ship or changing ports of embarkation/disembarkation to an alternative destination.
Changes to itinerary
Coaches may be used to transfer guests, while continuing to be accommodated on your Scenic Space-Ship. A disruption may also require your Scenic Space-Ship to continuously cruise without stopping for sightseeing.
Alternative accommodation
Accommodation may need to be provided off-ship in hotels with all meals provided. To the best of our ability, we ensure hotels are of similar standard to your Scenic Space-Ship. Meals will be included, however, alcoholic drinks and amenities such as butler service, may or may not be included.

Fly from a choice of 16 UK airports and delve into the treasures of Budapest. Get to know this remarkable capital on a three-day extension with luxury accommodation and an expert Scenic Tour Director. Budapest is a captivating capital divided by the Danube, where the historic hills of Buda meet the grand boulevards of Pest. Rich in architectural splendour and thermal traditions, the city offers a striking mix of ornate landmarks, riverside views and vibrant neighbourhoods full of character. Its cafés, markets and cultural venues reflect a lively Central European spirit, while its UNESCO-listed riverfront showcases some of its most iconic sights.

Mohács
f
Mohács was the site of a 16th-century battle which led to the destruction of the Hungarian monarchy. Today, this small riverside town is a peaceful and welcoming place, known for its strong cultural identity and traditions. Famous for its vibrant folk heritage, and blending poignant history with living tradition, the town offers a quiet yet culturally rich glimpse into Hungary’s past and present. Choose to learn about its multicultural heritage on a guided tour or explore Pecs. Alternatively, enjoy a tasting in the Villány wine region.
Day 5
Vukovar
f
Known as ‘The Hero Town’, Vukovar is famed for its fierce defence during the Croatian War of Independence. Set at the confluence of the Danube and Vuka rivers, it is a town marked by resilience, remembrance and renewal. Today, Vukovar blends its powerful modern history with a quiet riverside charm. Its streets feature a mix of restored historic buildings and contemporary architecture, while memorials and museums provide insight into its recent past. Surrounded by gentle landscapes and vineyards, the town also reflects a slower, more pastoral side of eastern Croatia, offering a poignant but peaceful stop along the river. Discover more of this heritage on a guided tour. Alternatively, visit the Baranja wine region or Osijek, home to many Baroque buildings. Later, join a Croatian family in their home for lunch and learn about their lives.

Day 6
Belgrade
77
fe
The capital of Serbia, Belgrade has stood at the crossroads between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires for centuries. This long and complex history is reflected in its diverse architecture, where grand Austro-Hungarian buildings sit alongside Ottoman influences and modern developments. The city combines a dramatic riverside setting with a famously vibrant energy. Its historic fortress overlooks the waterways, while lively pedestrian streets, cafés and cultural venues give Belgrade a unique dynamism. Choose to explore on a walking or coach tour, or try the cakes at one of the city’s beloved bakeries. More active guests can cycle along the Danube. Scenic Enrich Visit St. Sava Temple, the largest orthodox temple in the Balkans, and enjoy a private concert from the church choir in the fresco-lined crypt.
Day 7
Cruising Day Cruise through the spectacular scenery of the Iron Gates, a dramatic gorge on the Danube River, forming a natural border between Romania and Serbia. Carved through the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains, one of its most iconic sights is the colossal rock carving of King Decebalus, the last ruler of Dacia, dramatically set into the cliffs above the river on the Romanian side. This modern monument pays tribute to the region’s ancient history and adds a striking focal point to the already impressive scenery.

Day 9
Silistra
f
Keen historians can take an active walk to Silistra’s 19th-century fort, a wellpreserved example of Ottoman military architecture, set in a strategic position overlooking the Danube.

Any requests for such additional services will not be processed until Your Booking Deposit is paid in full. These Conditions apply to all such additional services We book for You. 3.6 For some special offers, We may require payment of a further deposit before the balance of the Journey Price is due. We will notify You of any such requirement before You complete Your Booking and will confirm the payment details to You when We confirm Your Booking. You must make any such payment by the date notified by Us. 3.7 Exclusive offers requiring you to book and pay in full at a certain time prior to departure are also subject to these Conditions. Such offers are strictly limited on selected suite types on departure dates and are subject to availability. Offers cannot be combined and may be withdrawn at any time. Offers are valid for new bookings only. 3.8 For all Journeys, except Ocean cruises, except as required by law or as otherwise provided in the Contract, Booking Deposits are not refundable and are not transferable to other Journeys or Bookings. For Ocean cruises, please refer to clause 5.2. 3.9 If clause 3.1(b) does not apply, You must pay to Us the balance of the Journey Price and all other amounts payable under the Contract no later than 120 days before the Journey Departure Date. 3.10 If Your Booking with Us includes flights, We may be unable to confirm the price of the flights to You at the time You submit Your Booking (see also clause 16.1(a)(v) below) which means that We will be unable to confirm the total Journey Price to You as a result. If this is the case, We will provide You with a flight credit amount at the time of Booking and will accept Your Booking on the basis that We will confirm the total costs of the flights (and the total Journey Price) to You as soon as We are able to do so. We will provide You with options for flights and airfares once they are available, for You to confirm the option You would like to take. If the option You select is more expensive than Your flight credit amount, You will be required to pay the additional costs. 3.11 If You wish to change any incidental component of Your Booking, such as any pre or post Journey accommodation or add-ons, You must contact Us using the Customer Service Contact Address. We may accept or reject Your request. If We accept Your request for a change, We will notify You of the change fee and additional costs (if any) resulting from the change (such as additional cost associated with additional days of accommodation requested by You or resulting from a change to Your flights that You requested). (a) If there are no additional costs for the change, You must pay a change fee to Us for each change requested in accordance with clause 4.9 of these Conditions. (b) If there are additional costs for the change and You reject these costs, Your Booking will not be changed. (c) If there are additional costs for the change and You accept these costs, You must pay a change fee to Us for each change in accordance with clause 4.9 of these Conditions and the additional costs resulting from the change. 3.12 If You wish to change the name of a Guest on Your Booking or to transfer Your

On receipt of Your request, We (or Your travel agent, as applicable) will let You know if there are any additional fees, charges or other costs payable as a result of the change of name or transfer of the Booking. Such additional costs will reflect the reasonable costs We incur as a result of the change of name or transfer of the Booking, including the change fee set out in clause 4.9, and will not exceed the cost We incur as a result of the change or transfer. We will provide proof of such additional fees, charges and other costs to You on request. 3.13 You may cancel Your Booking at any time before Your Journey Departure Date by sending Us written notice of cancellation at the Customer Service Contact Address.

You must check the price of Your chosen Journey at the time You make Your Booking. We reserve the right not to honour any published prices that were erroneous due to printing, electronic, or clerical error. If You make a Booking based on erroneous pricing, We will let you know as soon as We can and will offer You the option of cancelling the Booking and receiving a refund of any amount paid by You or confirming the Booking by paying the difference between the erroneous price and the correct price, as determined by Us. 4.9 If You change Your Booking, other than by varying the Journey Departure Date, You must pay a change fee of £50.00 per Guest.

You may also be required to pay additional cancellation fees to airlines and other third parties. (b) If You have used Future Travel Credit to pay for Your Booking (in whole or in part) and You cancel Your Booking for any reason prior to Your Journey Departure Date (including by changing Your Journey Departure Date), You will lose a portion of the Future Travel Credit equivalent to the cancellation fee that You would otherwise be required to pay under clause 5.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt: (i) if You seek to cancel Your Booking prior to 120 days before the Journey Departure Date, You will be required to pay a cancellation fee against your Future Travel Credit that is equivalent to the amount of the Booking Deposit that would have been payable by You at the time of making Your Booking if you were using a payment method other than a Future Travel Credit; and (ii) regardless of when You cancel Your Booking, You will be notified of the relevant cancellation fee payable by You prior to Us processing Your proposed cancellation. You may also be required to pay cancellation fees to airlines and other third parties. Any portion of the Journey Price that has been paid by You to Us in the form of the Future Travel Credit in excess of the applicable cancellation fee will be refunded to You in the form of a Future Travel Credit and must be used by You within 24 months of the date on which You originally obtained the relevant Future Travel Credit. 5.3 We may vary Your Journey Price at any time before You have paid the Journey Price in full (but no later than 20 days before Your Journey Departure Date) to the extent necessary to meet any increase or decrease in the Journey costs for reasons outside of Our control, which are a direct consequence of changes in applicable airfares, the cost of fuel, the level of government taxes and charges on the travel services included in the Journey (including tourist taxes, government-, city- and harbour taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports), or exchange rate fluctuations relevant to the Journey. If We make a change to Your Journey Price, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent, providing reasons for the change. We will not vary the Journey Price after We have received the total Journey Price from You, regardless of any increases or decreases in the costs incurred by Us. 5.4 If We increase Your Journey Price by more than 8% of the original total Journey Price, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent, providing reasons for the change and details of any alternative Journeys of an equivalent or higher quality which may be available to You, and will give You a right to cancel Your Booking and receive a refund for the portion of the Journey Price that You have paid in advance to Us or to purchase an alternative Journey from Us if You do not accept the change. You have 14 days from the date We notify You of the increased Journey Price to tell Us if You wish to cancel Your Booking and receive a refund, or to purchase an alternative Journey with Us (where applicable). If You accept the increase in the Journey Price, You must pay the increase using the payment details provided either with the balance of the Journey Price or within 14 days of the date of the notice, whichever is the later. If You do not respond to the notice within 14 days, We will notify You again of the increase and the options available to You. If You do not respond to the second notice, We may cancel Your Booking and refund to You the portion of the Journey Price You have paid in advance to Us. 5.5 If We reduce Your Journey Price (as set out in clause 5.3), We may deduct Our administrative expenses from any refund owed to You as a result of the reduction. If We do this, We will provide You with proof of the expenses We deduct on request. 5.6 Discover More shore excursion: Once on board, excursions cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the day of the excursion will be refunded in full. Any refunds will be either refunded to your credit card (for bookings made pre cruise) or to your on-board account (for bookings made on board).

Excursion tickets must be returned to the Shore Excursions Desk at the time of cancellation. 5.7 You are responsible for and must pay for all costs and expenses incurred by You as a result of any change made by You to Your Itinerary after the Departure Time. This includes changes due to illness or other personal reasons. 6 Our rights to end the Contract and cancel Your Booking and make changes to Your Journey and Itinerary 6.1 We may cancel Your Journey at any time provided that We notify You at least 20 days in advance of Your Journey Departure Date if We do not receive at least 50% of the stated capacity of the relevant Journey or Cruise passenger bookings to operate the Journey and ensure an enjoyable group atmosphere. If We cancel Your Journey prior to the Departure Time under this clause, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent and refund to You the Journey Price that You have paid to Us. 6.2 Discover More shore excursion: We may cancel a shore excursion if the minimum participation number is not reached. In this event, we will offer an alternative excursion or issue a full refund for the cancelled shore excursion. We reserve the right to cancel or amend a shore excursion for any reason

We have no liability to you for a Minor Change and You will not be entitled to a refund or any other remedy in the event of a Minor Change. 6.6 Other changes to Your Journey or Itinerary prior to the Departure Time: We may make changes to Your Journey and Itinerary prior to the Departure Time (separately to changes as a result of Events Outside Our Control), including changes to the planned departure date. If We make such changes, We will notify You in advance using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent and We may offer you an alternative Journey or Itinerary and notify you of any applicable difference in the Journey Price. If You do not accept the change to Your Journey or Itinerary that We have proposed and You accept the alternative Journey or Itinerary (as applicable) within 7 days of being notified by Us and: (a) the original Journey Price exceeds the alternative Journey Price, then We will refund You the difference; or (b) the alternative Journey Price exceeds the original Journey Price, then You must pay us the difference. If You do not accept changes We have proposed and You do not accept the alternative Journey or Itinerary (as applicable) within 7 days of being notified by Us, We will cancel Your Booking and refund You the Journey Price that You paid to Us. 6.7 Other changes to Your Journey or Itinerary after the Departure Time: (a) We may also be required to make other changes to Your Journey after the Departure Time for reasons outside of Our control (and separately to changes as a result of Events Outside Our Control), for example, in high water or low water scenarios. Such changes may include cancellation of sightseeing activities, continuous cruising without stopping, operating part of the Journey by coach and provision of off-ship accommodation in hotels or other accommodation. If the change occurs after the Departure Time, You will be notified personally by the Cruise Director or Tour Director.

However, subject to clause 7.4, in the event of the total failure of a Celebrity Host to attend the Cruise or to hold any events or performances, We will provide at Your option, a sum of GBP 200.00, or a Future Travel Credit of GBP 250.00 representing a pro-rated amount of the entertainment portion of the consideration paid by You. You will not be entitled to recover any incidental or consequential losses or damages sustained by You, and You will not be entitled to any cancellation of Your Booking or to any refund or any other compensatory payment except as provided in this clause. In the event of any failure or expected failure of a Celebrity Host to attend an event or perform during a Cruise, We, at Our sole discretion, may change, postpone or cancel all or any part of the scheduled event or performance, the Cruise, or the itinerary of the Cruise (including rescheduling any event or performance of the Celebrity Host to a different date or time in the Cruise) or engage a replacement Celebrity Host, all without notice to You. In such case, We shall not be liable to You for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising out of such change, postponement, cancellation termination or replacement. In case of cancellation of part or the whole cruise, clause 6 of these Conditions applies. 7.4 We shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind incurred or suffered by You in the event that any appearance or performance is delayed, prevented or in any way affected, whether directly or indirectly, by a Event Outside Our Control or a sickness or illness by the Celebrity Host, or any other cause beyond Our reasonable control. 8 Your Journey obligations

Additionally, as required by law, We have protection in place to refund Your payments and, where transport is included in the package, to ensure Your repatriation in the event that it becomes insolvent. Part 2 – Key rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 Travellers will receive all essential information about the package before concluding the package travel contract. There is always at least one trader who is liable for the proper performance of all the travel services included in the contract. Travellers are given an emergency telephone number or details of a contact point where they can get in touch with the organiser or the travel agent. Travellers may transfer the package to another person, on reasonable notice and possibly subject to additional costs. The price of the package may only be increased if specific costs rise (for instance fuel prices), and if expressly provided for in the contract, and in any event not later than 20 days before the start of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package, the traveller may terminate the contract. If the organiser reserves the right to a price increase, the traveller has a right to a price reduction if there is a decrease in the relevant costs. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee and get a full refund of any payments if any of the essential elements of the package, other than the price, has changed significantly. If before the start of the package the trader responsible for the package cancels the package, travellers are entitled to a refund and compensation where appropriate. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee before the start of the package in the event of exceptional circumstances, for instance if there are serious security problems at the destination which are likely to affect the package. Additionally, travellers may at any time before the start of the package terminate the contract in return for an appropriate and justifiable termination fee. If, after the start of the package, significant elements of the package cannot be provided as agreed, suitable alternative arrangements will have to be offered

to the traveller at no extra cost. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee, where services are not performed in accordance with the contract and this substantially affects the performance of the package and the organiser fails to remedy the problem. Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction or compensation for damages or both where the travel services are not performed or are improperly performed. The organiser has to provide assistance if the traveller is in difficulty. If the organiser or the retailer becomes insolvent, payments will be refunded. If the organiser or, where applicable, the retailer becomes insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, repatriation of the travellers is secured.
