Scenic has unveiled its 2025 European River Cruise season
earlier than usual, adding more eight- and 15-day departures, new itineraries
and city extensions, and simplifying suite categories.
Pricing and itinerary details are now available for all 2025
sailings, which include France, Portugal, the Rhine, and Danube.
Two new itineraries highlight the season. The eight-day Gems
of the Danube has been changed to sail between Regensburg and Budapest,
allowing for more time in ports along the route. Added is a stop in Bratislava,
Slovakia, and new excursions, such as exploring the city’s medieval old town
with an expert guide. All-inclusive fares start at $4,757 per person, double,
with 42 departures in 2025.
The 16-day Danube Delta Discovery will sail between Budapest
and Bucharest in 2025, where guests can dive deep into the cultures and
historical sites of six former behind-the-Iron-Curtain countries as well as
enjoy the nightlife in four capital cities: Budapest, Bratislava, Belgrade, and
Bucharest.
Highlights include a small boat cruise through the
580,000-hectare wetlands of the Danube Delta, teeming with more than 300
species of birds; an e-bike tour through the Kopacki Rit nature park; and a
cooking class on making Banica, the traditional Bulgarian cheese-filled pie.
Four departures bookend the season, with fares starting at $9,043.
Additionally for 2025, Scenic is adding three-day options
for Nuremberg and Munich, on top of the 10 already offered. As Bavaria’s
second-largest city, Nuremberg was an important commercial hub from the Middle
Ages onwards. The city’s rich heritage can still be seen and felt in its Old
Town and one of the most significant imperial forts of the Holy Roman Empire,
the 12th-century Imperial Castle.
Munich is one of Europe’s most vibrant cities and exploring
it for three days will allow guests to journey between world-class museums, the
15th-century Frauenkirche church with its two distinctive onion domes, the
famous carillon (Glockenspiel) in Marienplatz, and more.
The 5-star Scenic Space-Ships offer all-inclusive luxury
experiences, from private butler service and unlimited complimentary beverages
and spirits, to six on-board dining options and a wellness area and fitness
center.
