Cabins

All Scenic river cruise ships in Europe are operated with inclusive deals. Scenic's ships are nearly 1/5 longer but with smaller guest capacity compared to standard-design luxury river ships in Europe. The new design (patented as "space ships") allows bigger passenger cabins and more spacious public areas. A signature feature of all Scenic Cruises "space ships" are the cabin balconies called “Sun Lounges”. These are outdoor terraces which easily convert into indoor lounge areas. Scenic Jade has a total of 85 cabins (of which 73 balcony suites) in 16 grades and 4 passenger decks (with two decks full of balcony suites).

Scenic river cruise deals are among the industry's most all-inclusive. All meals, drinks (except the French Champagne and highest-end liquors), excursions, butler service, and Internet are included in the fares. Even the drinks in cabins' mini-bars are complimentary. Scenic Tours cruises traditionally attract travelers from Australia and the UK, with a constantly growing number of Americans, Canadians, and Germans.

They might be different when you book your Scenic Tours river cruise tour deals, influenced by travel agency promotions, special offers, and discounts, group travel booking or last-minute deals rates.
