For the evening meal there is no requirement for formal jackets or ties and casual evening attire is welcomed such as open-neck shirt and trousers/dresses. Please note, shorts and thongs are not appropriate for the evening meal on all of our river cruises.

Scenic Enrich events are usually located in grand, historic venues. As such, they can be more formal occasions, and you may wish to dress accordingly. There will also be some entertainment nights that you may wish to dress up for.

Currency onboard

The currency used on board the Scenic Spirit II in South East Asia is USD. Visa and Mastercard credit cards are also accepted. (Note: Travelex cash passports, travel money, and AMEX are not accepted).

Wi-Fi

Complimentary Wi-Fi access is available on board some of our vessels. Please be aware that internet access may be limited or non-existent at certain times due to high demand from other users, or proximity to telecommunication services. We cannot guarantee that you will have full Wi-Fi coverage in your suite.

Internet access is available and at no extra charge. However, please note that the internet speed is not broadband, and it is not suitable for downloading large amounts of data. The service is intermittent, with connectivity being variable and impacted by factors such as bridges, locks, and mountains.

Packing Recommendations

There are no specific pieces of clothing we insist you pack, however we can offer advice, based upon your itinerary. We recommend comfortable walking shoes for sightseeing, as well as any garments, such as hats, gloves and water-resistant jackets, which will help you to stay comfortable whatever the weather. The dress code across all Scenic cruise and tour itineraries is casual and comfortable. Dinner attire is smart casual - open-neck shirts, trousers and dresses; you may if you wish wear a jacket or blazer with a tie but it is not required.

Laundry

In Southeast Asia, unlimited self-service laundry is also available throughout whilst on board Scenic Spirit II.

Accessibility

We welcome passengers with medical conditions or disabilities and can provide mobility provisions when notified in writing of a person's needs before boarding. However, please be aware that there may be limitations on board and during excursions. Some of our ships do not have elevators, and where there is an elevator on board it may not access all decks. While collapsible wheelchairs are permitted on board under appropriate circumstances, you must be able to climb up and down stairs on coaches, and some excursions may require you to negotiate cobblestones or climb steps.

In addition, standard suites and bathrooms have significant thresholds and cabin doors which limit access, meaning they may not be wide enough to allow access to many wheelchairs. Please speak to a member of our team about your requirements prior to booking so that we can offer information on mobility and access.

What fitness levels do cruises/tours require?

Due to the amount of excursions available during a Scenic cruise or tour, a reasonable level of fitness is required to take full advantage of each itinerary. You must be physically able and self-sufficient to undertake the cruise or tour you have booked, and/or travel with a companion who is able to provide any assistance you may require during your holiday. Some of the all-inclusive excursions offered require a reasonable level of fitness to complete, and you may be required to climb ramps and/or stairs.

Please also note that not all Scenic ships have a lift. Here is a list of the ships which have an elevator and their restrictions:

- Scenic Space-Ships in Europe have a lift which services the Diamond Deck and Sapphire Deck.

- Scenic Spirit has a lift which services all decks between the Diamond Deck and Gem Deck.

Travel Information

Passport and Visa's

Scenic cannot arrange a passport or visas on your behalf, but our experienced Reservations Team may be able to advise you on the type of visas and documentation you need when visiting certain countries.

Your passport must be valid for six months beyond the conclusion of your trip. Please check your passport before departure and give yourself time to apply for a new one if this is required. Also, if the nationality on your passport differs from the country in which you currently reside, contact your local consulate to ensure you have the right documents for travel. Your holiday may be disrupted if you cannot provide valid documents at airports and border crossings.

Travel Insurance

Scenic is unable to provide travel insurance. We'd recommend that you arrange insurance cover that best suits you and covers you in the event of unforeseen circumstances. It’s also a good idea to take any documents relating to your insurance with you when you travel.

Unlike standard travel insurance, Cruise Travel Insurance includes cover specific to cruises, such as: cabin confinement, onboard illnesses, medical emergencies whilst cruising, missed port departure cover, and itinerary changes.

Guests may wish to consider arranging travel insurance and can explore options with providers such as AllClear Travel Insurance. AllClear has no upper age limits on cruise policies and can tailor a policy to match your preferences. AllClear can provide Specialist medical cover for over 1,300 medical conditions. Find out more

Other providers can be found at www.BIBA.org.uk.

What validity do I need on my passport?

All guests are required to possess a passport valid for 6 months beyond the conclusion of their trip.

Please note, if your nationality (passport) differs from the country in which you reside, please take the time to check carefully with your local consulates concerning visa and passport requirements for your travels.

Holidays can be disrupted or altered altogether if the correct documents cannot be supplied at airports or borders, so check carefully that you have the required papers.

Health Checks and Vaccinations

If you have a serious medical condition, we recommend consulting your GP before booking with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours. If you have any mobility difficulties, you should inform us at the time of booking.

Your GP will provide information regarding any and all vaccinations required to visit any of the destinations on a Scenic itinerary. Alternatively, see the NHS website.

This information will only be used in the event of an emergency and will be returned to you unopened upon the completion of your cruise.

Solo Travellers

Are special fares available for solo travellers?

Special fares are available for solo travellers on selected dates only. Please visit our River Cruising Solo Travellers page to plan your trip.

Do you have solo traveller group meet-ups?

Whilst we don’t have specific solo traveler meet-ups, we pride ourselves on the friendly and welcoming experience on board our river cruises. We often hear stories of new lifelong friends made on a Scenic river cruise. Our lounge is the perfect place to make new connections with like-minded travelers.

How do I dine as a solo traveller?

As a solo traveler, you have access to up to five dining options on board your Scenic Space-Ship in Europe or up to four on board Scenic Spirit in Southeast Asia. Each meal is curated by Scenic’s creative chefs in honor of the tradition-rich regions you pass through.

Due to our restaurant’s open seating policy, you are not able to make a reservation prior to embarkation or while on board. Some of our dining venues offer shared experiences. Table La Rive/Table d’Or is a six-course dégustation with a molecular touch and paired wines for 10 guests an evening. This experience is exclusively for Diamond Deck and Junior Suite guests cruising for 10 nights or more, or Royal and Junior Suite guests for cruises nine nights or fewer.

Scenic App

Is there a Scenic App?

Yes, guests travelling on Scenic ocean and river cruises can download the latest version of the Scenic App, to enrich their cruise experience.

What information is available on the app?

The app features interactive ship maps, an enhanced daily program, details on the art collection, ship amenities, dining venues, and up-to-date ship and destination information. Guests can also check-in and enjoy practical tools such as ship finder navigation, location sharing when ashore, and direct contact with ship staff.

Please note: some app features are only accessible when connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi network. Additional exclusive content and functionality become available once you’re on board, so we recommend waiting to explore the app until you’ve boarded your ship.

Will there be any more features or functionality added to the app?

Yes, the app is currently in the first phase of development. We are working to continually enhance the features and functionality available to improve the experience for our guests.

Does the Scenic App provide information for every cruise and tour experience offered by Scenic?

The Scenic App currently contains content for European River cruises only. Additional content for all Scenic River and Ocean cruises will shortly be released, ensuring guests can access details about these journeys. The app does not currently support information for land journeys or city extensions.

When should I download the app?

For the most optimal experience, download the Scenic App just prior to your departure, or when you leave home and use when you have boarded your ship. Some features, including online check-in, become available only within 7 days of your cruise departure.

What should I do once I’ve downloaded the app?

We recommend completing your cruise check-in — available from 7 days prior to departure, or once you’re on board. This will unlock personalised content for your cruise, including the daily program, ship time, current location, and details about your ship and crew.

Do I need internet to use the app?

Yes, the app requires an internet connection. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available on board. However, for connectivity while exploring ashore, please consider getting an international mobile SIM to ensure uninterrupted access.

I’m travelling on multiple back-to-back cruises with Scenic. Can I check in for both cruises?

At this time, only one check-in can be completed at a time (we are continually enhancing the app experience and expect to offer additional check-in options for multi-cruise journeys soon).

I’ve been advised I’ll be joining a different ship due to schedule changes. Will the correct ship appear in the app?

Currently, the Scenic App will display the ship listed in your original booking and documentation (we are planning to provide real-time ship updates in future versions of the app to make your experience even smoother).

Can I download my E-Docs into the app?

Not at the moment, but we’re working to introduce this feature in the future.

Why do I see errors in some of the app features?

Some features are only available once you’ve boarded your cruise and connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi. Before boarding, these areas may appear unavailable or show temporary error messages — this is normal and will resolve once you’re on board.

Medical Facilities

Scenic Space-Ships do not carry medical personnel on board and immediate medical attention cannot always be guaranteed. However, our staff are trained in first aid, and can provide basic medical assistance. Should you need to call medical services, this will be at your own expense. Please be aware that we cannot provide personal escorts for medical visits.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is not permitted in suites or any other indoor area across the Scenic fleet.

Smoking is permitted in specific areas of external decks. However, we cannot guarantee that these facilities will always be available.

Languages

The on board language is English. All staff, crew and tour guides speak English, and all announcements and lectures will be made in English.
