This coincides with a significant interior design upgrade across Scenic’s Space-Ships. Guests travelling this season are already enjoying the new layouts, ultra-modern furnishings, and innovative day-to-night transformations in the lounge and specialty dining areas. These interior enhancements are part of a multi-year investment in Scenic’s river fleet, reflecting the company’s commitment to quality and elevating the ambience of its ultra-luxury ships.
“Continuous innovation and enriching guest experiences sit at the core of Scenic’s philosophy,” said Elisabeth Sadler, Vice President Product, River Cruise, “and this ongoing commitment is reflected in our exciting new design updates. Inspired by Scenic’s ultra-luxury Discovery Yachts and the concept of ‘Space-Ships’, the enhanced interiors delivered by our team at MKM Yachts have created stunning new spaces for relaxation, comfort and socialising.”
