Detailed in a new digital brochure, the new offerings include two new French culinary cruises and several new shore excursions.

Scenic is also offering business class air for $1,995 per person and a 50 percent single supplement on select European river sailings.
New Excursions
New for Scenic guests in 2021 are visits to World War I sites in Belgium’s Ypres and Passchendaele and two culinary itineraries highlighting French gastronomic delights with the "Tastes of Southern France" on the Rhone River and the "Flavors of Bordeaux" itinerary cruising the Garonne River.
The new culinary cruises include an onboard dinner prepared by Michelin-starred chef Didier Goiffon and a cooking class at three-starred Michelin chef Georges Blanc’s restaurant.
Guests can learn the family secrets of regional recipes with Scenic’s new "Ancestry of the Kitchen" program. The program includes a series of authentic cooking classes held in the homes of locals, including Dutch apple pie baking in Hoorn, Bulgarian Banica in Vidin, and a traditional Portuguese bread-making experience.
New Protocols Coming
Scenic is working closely with IG River Cruise, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), local and international government health agencies, to ensure developed protocols meet and exceed the latest regulatory requirements.
Scenic's river vessels offer all-inclusive luxury experiences—from private butler service and unlimited complimentary beverages and spirits (including the minibar restocked daily), to six on-board dining options, a wellness area, fitness center and Salt Therapy Lounge (on most ships). Included in the cruise fare are tips and gratuities, expert local guides, all Scenic Freechoice activities and exclusive Scenic Enrich events.
