Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours has opened pre-bookings for its 2027 European River Cruising Collection, its earliest access ever to 2027 departures.

“We’ve seen a growing trend of guests not only booking farther out to secure their best rate and stateroom category but also combining our six-star ocean voyages with river cruises to create the ultimate journey of a lifetime,” said Ken Muskat, president of Scenic Group, USA/LATAM.

“There’s real momentum behind this travel style, and we’re excited to offer early access to our 2027 River Cruising Collection so guests can plan their next adventure with ease,” added Muskat.

Scenic said in a press release that its 2027 river cruise collection is now open for bookings across France, Portugal and the Rhine-Main-Danube (RMD) region.
