Due to popular demand, luxury river cruise line Scenic has released a selection of European river cruise itineraries available to book for 2023 ahead of schedule with a number of no-fly itineraries for 2023 now available. This early access provides greater flexibility for guests – allowing more availability on preferred itineraries, suite category and sailing day before the full collection is released. New bookings will also benefit from generous launch savings and early booking discounts.
Guests booking before 30 September 2021 will save up to £1,400 per couple on cruises sailing the Rhine and the rivers of France, alongside complimentary private door-to-door chauffeur-driven transfers. Guests choosing to pay for their cruise in full 12 months prior to departure will enjoy an additional 10 per cent Super Earlybird saving.
Scenic offers a range of European no-fly river cruises for those who prefer not to fly – travel in Standard Premier Class with Eurostar at no additional cost as you cut through the countryside en route to meet your ship in the heart of your destination. No-fly river cruises on sale for 2023 include:
