SCENIC has released its 2021 European river cruise program along with a new book with confidence program aiming to help clients plan and book their trips for next year.
A range of offers are now available featuring flight deals, reduced deposits, and a deposit protection plan which allows clients to change their travel dates or itinerary up to 90 days before departure.
“Scenic Group has specifically aligned our 2021 European river cruise program with the needs of their agent partners and their clients,” said Anthony Laver, Scenic Group General Manager Sales & Marketing Australia.
“We have developed a strong book with confidence program, with a focus on the trend for more intimate smaller ship experiences which we specialise in with Scenic Eclipse and our Scenic Space-Ships,” he said.
Laver confirmed the company was working closely with Cruise Lines International Association, IG River Cruise and a range of government health agencies to ensure its onboard health and hygiene protocols meet and exceed requirements.
New for 2021 are two culinary itineraries – the Tastes of Southern France on the Rhone River, and the Flavours of Bordeaux on the Garonne, both including an on-board dinner prepared by Michelin star chef Didier Goiffon and a cooking class at the restaurtant of French three-star Michelin chef Georges Blancs.
Scenic’s new Ancestry of the Kitchen program features a series of authentic cooking classes held in the homes of locals including Dutch Apple Pie baking in Hoorn, Bulgarian Banica in Vidin and a traditional Portuguese bread-making experience.
Inclusions available for bookings confirmed by 30 Sep are Economy class flights included on all Danube, Main and Rhine, as well as France and Russia river cruises of 11 days or more (up to a value of $1,900 per person) or a Business class air credit of up to $3,500 per person.
