Scenic Cruises Launches Fully All-Inclusive 2013 River Portfolio
June 12, 2012
Scenic Cruises has launched its 2013 Europe river cruising portfolio, announcing what it calls the “first truly all-inclusive luxury river cruising experience.
” New on 2013 cruises will be unlimited complimentary beverages (although top-shelf brands are additional), private butler service for every guest, themed dinners with entertainment (including Hungarian and Bavarian itineraries), a personal GPS onboard guided tour system devices providing commentary, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Also new are three dining venues -- River Café with all-day offerings; Table La Rive, for degustation menus; and High Tea on the Terrace. (River Café, Table La Rive and the GPS tour are not available on Scenic Emerald.)
New shore experiences include Scenic Enrich, exclusive experiences such as a private dinner and concert at Rastatt Palace; Scenic FreeChoice, 18 tours including the Hockenheim Formula 1 Track in Heidelberg; and Scenic Tailormade, a bespoke GPS-guided tour system with full commentary, allowing guests to choose from independent walks or cycling tours exploring areas like food and wine or history.
“We are redefining the term ‘all-inclusive luxury’ with the addition of unlimited complimentary beverages available at any time throughout the ship, free Wi-Fi, and butler service for all,” said Managing Director Glen Moroney.
“Our relaxing new River Café offers food items all day, including cakes and espresso coffee. And most important -- there is basically nothing more to pay except for personal expenses.”
Also in 2013, Scenic “Space-Ships” will get “Sun-Lounges,” which allow guests to convert their private balconies into an indoor lounge. This facility will be retro-fitted to the entire fleet (except Scenic Emerald).
Moroney also announced a number of technical ship upgrades including a “silent drive” system that significantly reduces noise and vibration, and a sophisticated and powerful air-conditioning system.
