Scenic Cruises Expert

Imagine yourself in the Royal Owner's Suite!

Scenic is known as an ultra-luxury cruise line. At the ASTA River Cruise Expo in 2025, I toured more than 15 ships, and Scenic’s suites were the most impressive I encountered. Their accommodations offer an exceptional blend of spaciousness, elegance, and innovation, elevated even further by full butler service that ensures every detail of your stay is flawlessly taken care of. Whether you’re sailing through Europe’s storied waterways or exploring lesser-known rivers, Scenic’s meticulous attention to detail ensures an unforgettable journey.

Scenic also brings its signature style of luxury to the world of ocean expedition cruising—an area where they truly excel. Their expedition voyages, including journeys to Antarctica, combine world-class accommodations with extraordinary opportunities for exploration. Guests can venture out on zodiac excursions guided by expert naturalists, witness wildlife up close, and immerse themselves in some of the planet’s most remote destinations. What truly sets Scenic apart, however, is its commitment to creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Scenic’s ocean ships offer rare and remarkable excursion options such as submarine dives and helicopter tours—features rarely offered elsewhere in the industry. These elevated adventure opportunities will allow you to experience destinations from perspectives few travelers ever enjoy, making a Scenic voyage not just a trip but a lifelong memory.

Highly Recommend A Travel Expert Like Gunes!
Gunes is so great at what she does and I'm so appreciative of her help with our family weekend getaway to a resort in Middleburg. In particular, she was great about sorting out what kinds of plans we should make for meals and activities for our 4-year old, sleeping arrangements for the baby, and was full of useful recommendations. We spent LESS working with her than we would have if we'd booked on our own at Salamander.

COVID traveling, and dreaming about future travels
Gunes provided the most professional and informative experience for us! She had answers to issues related to our travels BEFORE I even knew to ask the questions. She was always available...before, during, and after our trips....and made sure all of our needs were met. Outstanding service!
