Join Scenic on a truly all-inclusive luxury cruise along France’s waterways as we take you to the heart of its captivating cities and provinces. 
You’ll find that a Scenic river cruise is more than a five-star cruise, it’s a personalised journey you can tailor to your own interests.

Our itineraries include culinary-themed cruises so you can explore French flavours in depth. Start planning your 2022 river cruise with Scenic, knowing that we offer more than all-inclusive luxury cruising – it’s being able to leave your wallet in a safe place and relax, knowing that everything is taken care of.
 

Exclusive to France

At Scenic, we strive to elevate your river cruise to the next level, and make it more than a river cruise. 
That’s why for a limited time only, on our France itineraries we are offering two truly wonderful experiences to truly immerse you into the heart of your destination and it’s culture, and what’s more, you won’t pay a single penny extra.

Discover the city in style during a classic Citroën 2CV car tour

Be wowed by the glittering sights of Paris or Bordeaux as you zoom through the city in a vintage Citroën 2CV, during a private tour just for two. You’ll be chauffeured past iconic landmarks and see the city from a different perspective during an experience like no other. This extra special addition comes complete with a pre-cruise hotel stay in a luxurious central hotel and is available on our Bordeaux and Seine itineraries.

Cook up a storm in Lyon

Gastronomes will delight as they are invited into a local atelier in Lyon to cook up a tantalising culinary masterpiece. You’ll be guided through how to create delectable cuisine with the finesse that only the French possess, and savour the taste of it after. A pre-cruise stay in a luxury hotel in Lyon is included, and of course, it’s all courtesy of Scenic.
