Scenic Jade

MS Scenic Jade cruises on the Moselle, Danube, Main, and Rhine rivers on itineraries visiting Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Departures are offered from the homeports Amsterdam, Basel-Zurich, Budapest, and Prague. Itineraries departing from Paris City (France) include flights to and from Amsterdam, Holland.

Scenic Cruises Jade is the third ship in a series of new-class Scenic Tours vessels. Her fleetmates are named Scenic Crystal, Scenic Jewel, and Scenic Amber. These luxury riverboats are part of the line's extensive fleet expansion program.

Cabins

All Scenic river cruise ships in Europe operate with all-inclusive deals. Scenic vessels are nearly 20% longer but have a smaller guest capacity compared to standard-design luxury river ships in Europe. This innovative design (patented as "Space-Ships") allows for larger passenger cabins and more spacious public areas. A signature feature of all Scenic Cruises "Space-Ships" is the cabin balconies called “Sun Lounges”. These are outdoor terraces that easily convert into indoor lounge areas. Scenic Jade has a total of 85 cabins (73 of which are balcony suites) in 16 categories across 4 passenger decks (including two decks entirely dedicated to balcony suites).

Cabin types/categories (number, location), from highest to lowest:

• Suites - RA, R (x4, Deck 3), RS (x2, Deck 3), RJ, BJ (x4, Decks 2 and 3), A, PA, PP, C, BA, BB, BD-PD-Deluxe (x61, Decks 2 and 3), BS (x1, Deck 2)
• Window Staterooms - D, E (x12, Deck 1)
• Every cabin features a “Scenic Slumber Bed” (queen-size) with fine linens and a pillow menu. Junior and Royal Suites also include butler service.

Shipboard facilities

Scenic Jade restaurants include Jade Restaurant, Portobellos (Italian), Riverview Terrace (al fresco), and Table la Rive (Diamond Deck, reserved for Suite passengers). There is also a Panorama Lounge, River Cafe, Gelati Bar, Wellness Centre (Gym and Spa), onboard shop, and an elevator connecting all cabin decks. On all price-inclusive Scenic river cruise tours and shore excursions, guests receive GPS tracking devices ("ScenicTailorMade") with uploaded digital maps for navigation on land. These devices also function as listening units for live narration provided by the line’s local expert tour guides during group excursions. Binoculars and bicycles are also provided complimentary so guests can fully enjoy the scenery along the cruise itinerary routes.

Scenic river cruise deals are among the industry's most all-inclusive. All meals, drinks (except French Champagne and the highest-end liquors), excursions, butler service, and Internet access are included in the fares. Even the drinks in the cabins’ mini-bars are complimentary. Scenic Tours cruises traditionally attract travelers from Australia and the UK, with a steadily growing number of passengers from the United States, Canada, and Germany. Most passengers are aged 55+, financially comfortable, and well traveled.

Scenic Jade cruise prices are per person and based on double occupancy. These prices are indicative of Scenic cruise rates and may vary when booking your Scenic Tours river cruise, depending on travel agency promotions, special offers, discounts, group bookings, or last-minute deals.

The riverboat Scenic Jade (ENI number 02335641) has as “Space-Ship” sisterships the same-designed fleetmates Crystal and Jewel. Scenic river cruise deals include Internet (Wi-Fi), all tours and excursions, ground transfers, hotel stays, gratuities, port taxes, and all beverages consumed onboard (coffee, tea, bottled water, and soft drinks). River cruise fares also include alcoholic beverages – wine and beer at lunch and dinner, as well as cocktails and liquor served at the ship's bars.
