Fly your way to Europe in 2027
How you fly to Europe is a personal decision and one most travellers have strong feelings about. The airline that suits you, the class of travel you prefer, a routing that fits around your life rather than the other way around.
Scenic’s 2027 Super Earlybird Offers are built around exactly that understanding. That how you fly matters. That the journey really does begin before you board your ship
On selected Europe and France river cruises of 10 days or longer, you receive an Economy Class flight credit of up to $2,900 per person from Australia to Europe, booked by Scenic. If you’d prefer to travel in Business Class, guests booking a balcony suite or higher can choose a credit of up to $4,500 per person on selected departures 11 days or longer, or up to $3,500 per person across other 2027 departure periods. Either way, you choose the airline and routing that suits you and Scenic handles the rest.
Highlights
Central Europe
Jewels of Europe (15 days) is the journey people plan for years and talk about for the rest of their lives. Let the Rhine, Main and Danube carry you through a Europe of medieval market towns, vine-covered hillsides, Baroque palaces and castle-topped cliffs. In December, the famous Christmas markets glow amber and warm against the cold. The smell of mulled wine, the sound of bells, the feeling that you’ve stepped into something timeless.
Making your journey even more rewarding, Scenic Enrich experiences will be the highlight of your river cruise. Available only to Scenic guests across all itineraries, these included signature events will transport you into the heart of local culture and heritage. The Jewels of Europe cruise is truly unique as you can enjoy two Scenic Enrich events: the spectacular private classical concert at the opulent Palais Liechtenstein and an exclusive evening at Bonn’s historic La Redoute recital hall, where a lavish dinner is paired with a classical performance in an elegant 18th-century setting.
Romantic Rhine & Moselle (15 days) follows a quieter, more winding path through Germany and Luxembourg. The dramatic Loreley Rock rising from the river. The Moselle Valley’s steep, impossibly green slopes. The ancient Roman city of Trier, where history sits so close to the surface you almost expect to find a Roman at the next café table. For those who want to go further, an extension into Switzerland adds five more days and brings Lucerne and the Alps into the picture – a natural, unhurried conclusion to a journey.
New in 2027, this itinerary features a Scenic Enrich concert at Cleydael Castle, where you’ll learn about its fascinating history before being serenaded by eight musicians, two singing soloists and a host.
Lower Danube Discovery (16 days) ventures east into a Europe that rewards the curious. Bulgaria’s rose-filled valleys and hilltop monasteries. Serbia’s riverside fortresses. Romania’s landscapes, which feel like they belong to another century because in many ways they still do. This is the journey for travellers who’ve seen the well-known and are ready for something that genuinely surprises them.
The Scenic Enrich featuring a classical concert at Gödöllõ Royal Palace will make this journey even more special. One of the favourite residences of Queen Elisabeth of Hungary, it's the world’s second largest Baroque Palace, dating back to the 18th century.
France
Beautiful Bordeaux (11 days) is an immersion in one of the world’s great wine cultures, where days unfold in Saint-Émilion’s cobbled lanes, in the cellars of Pauillac and the Médoc, and in châteaux where wine has been made the same way for four hundred years. You can also visit a local market with a Scenic Chef to shop for and taste exceptional regional ingredients before returning on board for a signature Scenic Culinaire cooking demonstration celebrating the art of French fare.
South of France with Highlights of Paris (13 days) moves through the light that made Provence famous, from the lavender fields of Avignon and the Roman theatre at Orange to the market towns that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne. Then the Seine carries you north to Paris, so you experience two of France’s most distinct personalities in one journey. For a special taste of France, your evening is elevated by a regional dinner created by Michelin-starred Chef Didier Goiffon, served on board your Scenic Space-Ship to celebrate the flavours of France with warmth and finesse.
Normandy and Gems of the Seine (11 days) is a quieter and more reflective journey. Experience the Seine winding past Monet’s beloved gardens at Giverny, Rouen’s soaring Gothic cathedral, the apple orchards of the Norman countryside and the D-Day coastline where the weight of history is still very much felt. During an exclusive Scenic Enrich event, experience the opulence and grandeur of Château de La Roche Guyon as you enjoy a live classical concert performed by the region’s most reputable musicians.
All of the above are included in Scenic’s 2027 Super Earlybird flight credits offers.
On Board
From the moment you step on board, the pace changes. That’s perhaps the thing guests notice first. Beyond your beautifully appointed suite, or the butler introducing himself, it’s about the simple, physical sensation of slowing down.
Scenic Space-Ships carry a maximum of 163 guests in Europe, which means the ship always feels spacious and relaxing. Your professional butler looks after your suite and your preferences including excursion times confirmed and your favourite beverages waiting when you return from a long afternoon ashore. Multiple dining experiences celebrate the regions you’re passing through, from relaxed meals on deck to fine dining in the evening. Beverages are included throughout, a choice of shore excursions are taken care of, and complimentary e-bikes are there for the mornings when you want to explore under your own steam.
The signature Scenic Sun Lounge is a private, all-weather glass retreat in the Balcony Suites, which means the scenery is always with you at the touch of a button even when you’re not on deck. A castle on a cliff. A vineyard catching the afternoon light. A small town whose name you’ll always remember.
By the time you’re on the river, there’s nothing left to organise. You’re simply there, present in a way that you can relax and enjoy every moment.
