Scenic offers an outstanding collection of unforgettable Enrich and Freechoice experiences that showcase the colourful and storied heritage of Portugal. These exclusive encounters begin on the first full day of the itinerary. Attend an exclusive Sundowners cocktail event on the manicured lawns of the Douro Museum, and watch as the sun sinks beneath the fruitful vines of Régua’s plentiful vineyards. Tour the Baroque-style town of Lamego, which sits nestled among the terraced slopes of one of the Douro’s most prestigious port wine-producing regions.
Absorb the architectural splendour of Salamanca, whose historic centre is protected by UNESCO on account of its important heritage. Visit the village of Provesende, and wander the narrow cobbled streets with the locals as they proudly introduce to you to their way of life. Or join your fellow guests for an exclusive degustation fine dining experience in the Burmester Cellars of Porto, where you’ll sample the resident port wine and be entertained by traditional Fado musicians.
Bringing unprecedented luxury to the Douro, we’re proud to introduce Scenic Azure, an all-new 5-star Space-Ship built to safely navigate the course of this celebrated Portuguese waterway.
At 80 metres long, Scenic Azure is smaller than other Space-Ships, and therefore welcomes just 96 guests. This lends Azure a supreme sense of intimacy and relaxation, allowing guests the space they need to unwind in absolute comfort. It also means that most on board suites benefit from the Scenic Sun Lounge balcony system, allowing you to better enjoy the exquisite views and fine Iberian climate.
One of the highlights of Scenic Azure is the Sun Deck, which has been perfectly designed to help you make the most of the Portuguese sun. The Sun Deck features a Vitality Pool, sun loungers and an al fresco dining venue, Riverview Terrace, so you can relax beneath the seasonal sunshine at your leisure.
