River cruise line · 11 ships · sailing 1 regions — Truly all-inclusive ultra-luxury river cruising.
Australian-founded ultra-luxury line (established 1986, river cruising since 2008) whose 'Space-Ships' pair unusually spacious suites with a genuinely all-inclusive fare: butler service for every suite, all drinks, all gratuities and a choice of excursions are prepaid. It sits at the top of the river-cruise market alongside the other fully inclusive luxury brands.
Couples and discerning travellers who want luxury with nothing to sign for onboard, and who value butler service, wellness facilities and curated exclusive events over a party atmosphere. It is adult-oriented with no children's programming.
A fleet of roughly 163-guest Space-Ships on Europe's rivers, including Scenic Jasper, Jade, Opal, Sapphire, Pearl, Amber, Crystal, Diamond, Gem, Jewel and Ruby, plus vessels on the Douro and Mekong and, separately, Scenic's discovery yachts at sea. The patented 'Space-Ship' design dedicates extra room to larger suites and generous public areas.
The standout vessels in the fleet — and the amenities that set them apart.
