Scenic River Cruises

Scenic Azure

As the only Scenic Space-Ship sailing the Douro River, enjoy the same truly all-inclusive luxury experience with just 96 guests on board. Enjoy a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

Providing safe, luxurious passage atop the glistening waters of the Douro, Scenic Azure has set a new precedent in luxury river travel since launching in 2016.

Meticulously designed and crafted, this custom-built vessel was developed exclusively for use on Portugal’s Douro river. The ship is awash with innovative features allowing it to traverse this majestic waterway in complete safety, whilst affording the finest luxury travel experience for its 96 guests.

Scenic Azure may be shorter than the other ships in the Scenic Space-Ship fleet, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in innovative features and supreme levels of comfort.

The vessel features 48 cabins housing 96 guests, and has a 1:2 crew-to-guest ratio, providing you with a truly intimate and attentive service. Each cabin is perfectly appointed to offer the highest levels of luxury and comfort, and most feature a Scenic Sun Lounge, so you can make the most of the Portuguese sunshine.

Spanning four decks, these exclusive suites are accompanied by a number of public lounge, entertainment and dining areas - providing the freedom to explore the ship, chat to new friends or top up your tan on the all-weather Sun Deck.

Gratuities

Tipping and gratuities for drivers, local guides, porters, and waiting staff are included in the total price of your holiday. Please note: tipping is not included for meals, drinks, taxis and transfers outside your itinerary and only applies to on board services. We’d recommend tipping 10-15% in restaurants (unless a service charge has already been applied) and 10-15% on taxi meters. As a rule, always pre-negotiate taxi fares before agreeing to travel.
