Scenic Ruby

Explore Europe on board the Scenic Ruby or Scenic Pearl and enjoy stunning views from the Sun Deck, exclusive dining and a choice between five spacious suite categories.

Affording effortless luxury and comfort; Ruby and Pearl are invaluable members of the Scenic Space-Ship fleet — helping to transport our guests to the furthest reaches of Europe via its illustrious and ancient waterways.

Each vessel in this class has been considerately renovated to meet the peerless standards we strive to achieve when designing our entire fleet of Space-Ships, benefitting from plush interior design features which provide the same level of luxury you can expect from a boutique hotel.

The ships themselves feature four decks including the Sun Deck, Diamond Deck, Sapphire Deck and Jewel Deck, each of which is home to a number of suites and cabins and handful of illustrious public spaces and dining venues — including Crystal Dining, Riverview Terrace, Portobellos and the Panorama Lounge Bar.

No matter which deck you find yourself walking home to after an evening spent savouring the taste sensations of Table La Rive, or else watching the world float by from Riverview Terrace, you’ll be struck by the level of opulence and luxury afforded to every aspect of these unique river cruise liners.

Dining

Aboard a Scenic Tours river cruise, you have a wonderfully diverse range of dining options to choose from; the informal all-day River Café, the intimacy of Portobellos Italian Restaurant, the elegance of the Crystal Dining Restaurant, the English tradition of high tea on the Riverview Terrace, and the exclusive Table La Rive for Diamond Deck, Junior and Royal Suite guests. Refined to relaxed, al fresco to intimate, you truly are spoilt for choice.

While you’re onboard, all cocktails, spirits, beer and wine, are available with their compliments at any time. The only exceptions are a very small number of rare, fine and vintage wines, champagnes and spirits. Lunch and dinner are always accompanied by cocktails, a wide choice of wines, beer, soft drinks, tea and coffee. 

Entertainment

Scenic strictly limit their guest and cabin numbers. Not out of pretension or pride, but because in their experience, they know their guests appreciate a real sense of space. In fact, the wonderful scenery gliding by is often the only reminder you have that you’re actually on a ship.

Health and fitness

Whilst aboard the ship, guests are provided with a Fitness centre and a Wellbeing centre where luxurious treatments such as a one-hour aroma therapy full-body massage are available.
