Scenic river cruise advisor · Virtuoso perks

Rivers, truly all-inclusive.

Butlers for every suite. Excursions, drinks and tips included.

Scenic's Space-Ships sail Europe's great rivers with almost nothing left to pay for. I book Scenic through Fora, a Virtuoso member, and plan the hotel nights and flights around your sailing.

Questions

Scenic river cruise FAQ

What is included on a Scenic river cruise?

Scenic river fares include butler service for every suite, all meals with several dining options, nearly all drinks (except a small number of fine and vintage wines, champagnes and spirits), Scenic Freechoice excursions, exclusive Scenic Enrich events, onboard and onshore gratuities, Wi-Fi, and airport transfers on the first and last day.

What are Scenic Freechoice and Scenic Enrich?

Freechoice is Scenic's menu of included excursions in each port, from relaxed walking tours and tastings to active hikes and e-bike rides. Enrich events are private experiences arranged only for Scenic guests, like a classical concert in a historic venue.

What is a Scenic Space-Ship?

Space-Ships are Scenic's own river ships. Most suites have a Sun Lounge, a balcony that converts with a glass window, and every suite comes with butler service.

What perks do I get booking Scenic with At Ease Travel Co.?

I book Scenic through Fora, a Virtuoso member, so many sailings come with Virtuoso amenities on top of Scenic's inclusions. The amenity varies by sailing, and I confirm it with your quote, along with any air offers Scenic is running.

Is Scenic better than Viking for a river cruise?

Scenic is more inclusive, with butlers for every suite, included drinks, gratuities and more included excursions. Viking is a solid value with a set daily tour. If you want everything handled, Scenic is usually my pick.

Let's plan your river.

Tell me the month and the river you have in mind. I'll send suite options, the Virtuoso amenity and the hotel nights I'd add before and after.
