Scenic Azure II — cabins, decks, dining & sailings

When you are relaxing on board, the dress code is smart casual and comfortable. Do not forget your swimsuits and exercise attire for the heated pools and plunge pools, the wellness areas and the gym, yoga and Pilates studio. For the evening meal there is no requirement for formal jackets or ties and casual evening attire is welcomed such as open-neck shirt and trousers/dresses. Please note, shorts and thongs are not appropriate for the evening meal on all of our river cruises. Scenic Enrich events are usually located in grand, historic venues. As such, they can be more formal occasions, and you may wish to dress accordingly. There will also be some entertainment nights that you may wish to dress up for.

Luxury expedition style cruising is not recommended for children under 12. Guests under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by an adult and must share their accommodation with an adult. No children programs or babysitting services are available on board.

Scenic accommodates special dietary requirements to the best of our ability across our river cruises, ocean voyages and land journeys where applicable. If you have special dietary requests, please notify us at the time of booking and inform your Cruise Director when you arrive. Please note: while we endeavour to accommodate all dietary requirements, special requests are not guaranteed and failure to meet any request is not a breach of contract on our behalf.

Complimentary Wi-Fi access is available on board some of our vessels. Please be aware that internet access may be limited or non-existent at certain times due to high demand from other users, or proximity to telecommunication services. We cannot guarantee that you will have full Wi-Fi coverage in your suite. Internet access is available and at no extra charge. However, please note that the internet speed is not broadband, and it is not suitable for downloading large amounts of data. The service is intermittent, with connectivity being variable and impacted by factors such as bridges, locks, and mountains.

Scenic Space-Ships do not carry medical personnel on board and immediate medical attention cannot always be guaranteed. However, our staff are trained in first aid, and can provide basic medical assistance. Should you need to call medical services, this will be at your own expense. Please be aware that we cannot provide personal escorts for medical visits.

Smoking is not permitted in suites or any other indoor area across the Scenic fleet. Smoking is permitted in specific areas of external decks. However, we cannot guarantee that these facilities will always be available.

We recommend casual and comfortable clothing. Please bring comfortable walking shoes as you will need these daily whilst sightseeing, which includes walking over rough and uneven ground. Closed-in shoes are recommended to keep out the dust and sand. Dinner attire is smart casual including open-neck shirts, slacks/shorts and dresses. Coats and ties may be worn if you prefer but are not required. For winter months we recommend a warm coat, gloves, water-resistant footwear and an umbrella. If you want more packing advice, visit our Guide to Europe River Cruising. You are allowed to carry whatever prescription medication you require, and we’d recommend packing an ample supply that covers the duration of your cruise or tour. Due to strict drug laws in certain countries, make sure medication is carried in its original packaging with the prescription label clearly marked. When travelling through airports or border crossings, we’d recommend that you keep medication in your hand luggage ready for inspection.

The on board language is English. All staff, crew and tour guides speak English, and all announcements and lectures will be made in English.
