At Scenic, when we say all-inclusive, that’s what we mean. As the curators of Scenic Wonder, we proudly invite you to experience the all-inclusive luxury lifestyle of our floating world, with us.

From your transfers and tips; your exclusive Enrich, FreeChoice and Tailormade excursions; to your luxuriously appointed suites and amenities (complete with thoughtful, exclusive touches), you won’t have to worry about money at all. We’ve thought of everything, from your very own personal butler, to including bottled water service onboard.

Our signature Enrich experiences will take you to the cultural heart of life that has been established over centuries around the waterways of Europe.

From great seats of learning to traditional country ways of life, step into a truly memorable experience. Our Journey Designers have handpicked a range of diverse and thrilling experiences that will become highlights of your tour. We’ll take you into the private rooms of castles and chateaux, we’ll give you exclusive concerts and mouth-watering feasts, we’ll open the door on village life and take you back generations.

At Scenic, we’re in the business of beautiful destinations. Right from our humble beginnings of hosting tours along Australia’s spectacular Great Ocean Road, enabling guests to enjoy stunning places in all their splendor is why we started doing what we do – and continue to do it today.

So it’s our priority to make sure the wonderful destinations we visit remain just that; wonderful. This appreciation of the world’s wonder is at the heart of our environmental and sustainability initiatives.

We know that just by visiting our destinations we have an impact on that environment. So we’re constantly looking for ways to minimize this impact locally, while doing what we can for the wider environmental challenges the world is facing, too.

Whether it’s on our fleet of ocean and river ships themselves, within the local communities we explore on our land tours, or across our ground operations in Scenic offices around the world, we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint in any way we can.

We feel it is our duty to continually challenge ourselves, our suppliers and our guests to find new ways of becoming even more sustainable in our everyday lives.
