Scenic’s 2020 European River Cruise brochure is now available to travel agents and consumers. The brochure details the company’s more than two dozen cruise itineraries, including three new itineraries for 2020.
The new 12-day Spectacular South of France itinerary introduces guests to the estate of Château Meursault and its acclaimed wines; shopping with the chef at a local Avignon food market followed by a cooking class in the ship’s Culinaire; e-bike rides through the countryside; and a private classical concert in the historic Palais des Papes. The eight-day Lower Danube Explorer links two of Europe’s great capitals – Budapest and Bucharest – and highlights the local cultures in places such as Kalocsa, Novi Sad, and Belgrade. And the new 15-day Christmas Wonderland brings back yesteryear’s traditions of the holiday season. Sailing between Amsterdam and Budapest, guests enjoy numerous Christmas Markets, some dating back hundreds of years, roasted chestnuts and glühwein, traditional crafts, Midnight Mass and an abundance of holiday cheer.
Scenic is also offering several incentives for those who book any 2020 Scenic Europe and Russian river cruises by September 4, 2019. Itineraries of 11 days or longer come with free premium economy air or $2,000 per person savings. Guests staying on the top deck (Diamond) taking 15-day and longer sailings also receive free premium economy plus door-to-door airport transfers. Eight- to 10-day sailings receive free economy flights or $1,200 per person savings. Scenic is also offering 50% off single supplements on select sailings.
Celebrating the decennial performance of the Passion Play, which began in Oberammergau, Germany in 1633, Scenic is offering a series of six- to eight-day touring itineraries between May 20 and Sept 21, 2020, which include tickets to the play and a link to a selection of river cruise itineraries including Rhine and Danube sailings.
Scenic also offers land extensions on many of their sailings. New in 2020 is Basque Highlights – a four-day exploration of Spain’s Bay of Biscay coastline that takes in Biarritz in France and Spain’s San Sebastián and thriving city of Bilbao, that can be added to the Bordeaux river cruises. Other possibilities include Paris, Prague, Transylvania, Monte Carlo, Turkey, Switzerland, Madrid, Berlin, and Lisbon.
