Overview
Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours sells all-inclusive river cruises, ocean voyages and escorted land journeys to travelers from around the world. Its river ships sail in Europe and Southeast Asia, while its Discovery Yachts take guests on ocean itineraries that reach as far as the polar regions. Land journeys cover places such as Africa, Japan and South America and can extend a cruise. Fares bundle dining and premium drinks, and bookings come directly from guests and through travel advisors. Part of Scenic Group, which also runs the Emerald Cruises brand, the company began with coach tours in Australia in 1986 and is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland.
