AN EIGHTH Scenic ‘Space Ship’ has been
confirmed by Scenic Tours, with the new vessel
set to join the fleet next year.
The Scenic Gem will be custom built for
operation on the Seine River in Northern
France, with a special design and technology
enabling the ship to reach new ports, such as
Honfleur, which has previously been difficult
to access due to tidal and certification issues,
according to Scenic Tours md Glen Moroney.
“Much of the history of Honfleur is founded
upon the sea so the ability to sail into its
port is a huge plus for our guests and they
can continue to indulge in the Scenic Tours
signature of all-inclusive luxury.
“We will be the only operator to offer this
customised cruising itinerary,” Moroney added.
Gem will be slightly smaller, with capacity
for 126 guests, but will maintain the same
dimensions, increasing the amount of space
per guest.
Itineraries operated by Scenic Gem will be
round-trip from Paris, offering stops including
Normandy beaches & the Somme Battlefields.
