The state-of-the-art fleet of 'space ships' boast first-class design, the luxury of spaciousness, and some exciting revolutionary touches from the exclusive and innovative 'Scenic Sun Lounges' - a private all-weather balcony at the touch of a button - to the pioneering 'Tailormade GPS', allowing you to explore further afield, and head off the beaten track for some independent discoveries.
Tracey visited Scenic Gem whilst it was in Paris, and went on a Scenic walking tour of the city. Rachel and Amy have both stayed overnight on Scenic Opal, and Sarah has cruised in Belgium and Holland on Scenic Jasper.
Amy says: 'I thought the Scenic Opal was incredibly stylish, it was so slick it just seemed to gleam. She's very modernistic in style and incredibly spacious. I loved the innovative window/balcony, I thought that was really clever.'
Tracey says: 'I think what I found amazing was the Balcony Cabins. On a cold or rainy day, you can close the outside window which would close your Balcony in, then you could open the entrance to the Balcony and pull it back so it also makes your cabin BIGGER. Also the VIP walkaround enables you to explore cities and towns on your own excursions - simply charge up the GPS device overnight, then place in your ears the next day as you leave the ship and do a self tour guide of the area with built in satnav. Overall, Scenic has lovely friendly people, and not stuffy – very laid back.'
Sarah says: 'I sailed from Amsterdam to Antwerp and my first impressions were that it was a very modern vessel and for me a little minimal in its décor, with lots of black and chrome. Service wise Scenic was excellent and the food on board was lovely. We were on with bad weather so unable to enjoy the roof and pool etc but there were lots of facilities which I’m sure would be lovely in the summer. The Cruise director was very good and the excursions well organized. The highlight for me was the locally hosted evening in Hoorn with the local residents at the town hall and with a local dinner. Something you couldn’t replicate yourself individually. The balconies were nice where you could close the patio doors but still have a balcony when the weather not so good. I would recommend Scenic to others.'

Danube
Flowing through much of Eastern & Central Europe, through many culturally & historically rich cities - from Belgrade, Budapest and Vienna to Linz, Bratislava & Regensburg - and offering stunning scenery of castle-topped hills, and half-timbered houses, it's easy to see why the Danube is the most popular choice for river cruisers
Rhine
Meandering some 766miles from the Swiss Alps through Liechtenstein Austria, France, Germany and the Netherlands, a cruise on the Rhine offers Alpine slopes, fairytale castles, the famous Black Forest and the scenic Rhine Gorge, windmills, and villages, towns and cities steeped in history
Mekong
The mighty Mekong is the beating heart of Indochina, winding 3,000 miles from China through Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Explore lush jungles, hill tribes, rice paddies, and Luang Prabang and Vientiane on the Upper Mekong, or the delights of Vietnam and Cambodia on the Lower Mekong
Irrawaddy
The Irrawaddy is becoming increasingly popular as Myanmar (Burma), the new hot spot, opens up more to tourism. An Irrawaddy river cruise offers vibrant river life - from rare Irrawaddy dolphins to locals - and scenic riverbanks dotted with rural villages and glittering pagodas
Seine
Flowing from the rich winelands of Burgundy, through the heart of the city of love, Paris, and northwards into the orchards, wooded hills and historic towns of Normandy, the Seine has captured the imagination of artists for centuries, and Seine river cruises continue to delight with their Gallic charm
Rhône

Douro
An UNESCO-World Heritage Site, the so-called 'Golden Valley' offers sun-drenched riverside bliss, complete with unique cities, quaint sleepy villages, cosy quintas, and steeply terraced vineyards, bringing all the charm of Spain and Portugal, and exquisite tastings of the famous Port wine
Dordogne and Garonne
A Dordogne and Garonne river cruise is ideal for wine lovers and culture vultures, looking to discover a region of fine vineyards and fertile farmland, and towns renowned for their history and architecture, most notably the city of Bordeaux, where the two rivers meet to form the Gironde estuary.
Volga
Flowing from central Russia into the Caspian Sea, Russia's national river pumps through 11 of its largest cities, including the capital, Moscow, and the former Imperial capital of St Petersburg. A Volga river cruise offers fantastic perspectives of these two grand cities and everything in between
