Scenic Aura

About Scenic Aura

Scenic Aura belongs to Scenic Luxury Cruises's Mekong series and entered service in 2016. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 76 metres in length and accommodates up to 44 guests in 22 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.

Scenic positions itself at the top of the river-cruise market with butler-serviced suites on every deck, a salt-therapy lounge on most ships, and a fully inclusive fare that covers tipping, all beverages, and a daily choice of guided shore excursions through the Scenic Freechoice program. Scenic Aura reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.

The ship's typical home waters are the Mekong, where she runs 2 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.
