SCENIC now has eleven of
its signature Space-Ships, after
Australian author Kathy Lette
officially named Scenic Jasper in
Vienna earlier this week.
The “next generation” Jasper
features 85 cabins, including what
Scenic describes as the “ultimate in
private balcony accommodation,”
Royal Panorama Suites.

The christening ceremony was
attended by Scenic founder and
chairman Glen Moroney, who
said innovations on Jasper such
as its heated vitality pool on the
panoramic Sun Deck had further
enhanced “what was already an
exceptional design”.
Lette said she was honoured
to have been asked to be Scenic
Jasper’s godmother.
“Not only is river cruising the
best way to see Europe – no sat nav
malfunctions, no orbital ring roads,
no traffic jams or cancelled trains
– but this sleek new cruise ship is
so luxurious it should be renamed
HMS Hedonism” she said.
Jasper offers six dining options and butler service for all guests,
unlimited complimentary
beverages including mini-
bars replenished daily and
complimentary wi-fi internet.
Scenic Jasper is the first of two
Scenic Space-Ships to launch this
year, with the fleet to be boosted
to twelve in the coming months
with the addition of Scenic Opal.
Two more Scenic vessels are
under construction for 2016 – the
Scenic Amber which will sail the
Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers;
and the Scenic Azure which will
launch on Portugal’s Douro River.

Lette was thrilled to
receive this “figure head”
as a memento of the
christening.
“I’m thrilled to unveil
my leopard print skin
mini-skirted figure head,”
she said.
“Yes, I finally have
prowess…plus I can now
say that I have a really big
bust,” she quipped.
