Scenic Group is bringing Black Friday savings into the middle of summer with a limited-time promotion on select 2026 and 2027 river cruises and yacht voyages.

The company’s third annual Summer Black Friday Sale will run from July 20 through August 3, 2026. During that window, travelers can save up to 40 percent off full fares on eligible departures from Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises.

“Summer is often when travelers begin thinking seriously about where they want to go next, and this promotion gives them a compelling reason to turn those plans into a confirmed vacation,” said Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group USA & LATAM. “With savings of up to 40%, guests have an exceptional opportunity to experience the personalized service, thoughtfully designed itineraries and immersive destination experiences that distinguish both Scenic and Emerald.”

“This is an opportunity to introduce travelers to the tremendous range of experiences available across the Scenic Group portfolio,” said Robert Castro, Vice President of Marketing, Scenic Group USA. “Whether someone is dreaming of sailing through Europe’s historic river valleys or discovering hidden harbors onboard an intimate luxury yacht, Summer Black Friday makes that experience even more accessible.”

The promotion spans a broad range of destinations and travel styles, from river cruises through Europe’s historic cities and iconic regions to small-yacht voyages visiting secluded ports in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

Emerald Cruises & Tours’ river cruises offer a closer look at Europe’s major cultural centers, historic communities and renowned wine regions. At the same time, its intimate luxury yachts—which accommodate roughly 100 to 128 guests—can reach smaller ports and tucked-away coves inaccessible to larger ships.

Emerald’s highlighted itineraries include Cruising the Leeward Islands, Caribbean Escapade, Discover the Pearls of the Caribbean, Discover the Grenadines & Windwards Islands and Safari and The Seychelles.

Travelers with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours can also find savings on select river itineraries and voyages aboard Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II. The ultra-luxury yachts offer spacious suites, multiple dining venues and expedition-style experiences in destinations ranging from the Mediterranean to Antarctica.

Featured Scenic itineraries include Antarctica in Depth; Fjords & Glaciers of Southern Chile & Patagonia; Ancient Kingdoms and Natural Treasures: Chile to Panama; and the Highlights of Antarctica, Argentina and Brazil.

The Summer Black Friday Sale is valid only on new bookings made between July 20 and August 3, 2026, on select 2026 and 2027 departures, and travelers must reference offer code SUMMERBF when making their reservation. Additional terms and restrictions also apply.
