Onboard Experience

Accommodation

Scenic Sapphire boasts a collection of spacious and luxuriously-appointed suites. Standard Suites and Single Balcony Suites, which are located on the Jewel Deck, have a spacious design and clever layout alongside all the usual luxurious amenities and furnishings. Junior Balcony Suites are located on Sapphire Deck and Diamond Deck and have a private full-length balcony and elegant en-suite bathrooms featuring a large vanity basin, and bathtub with shower above. Royal Balcony Suites are the ultimate in luxury with more space, impeccable service, thoughtful touches, an outdoor balcony, a lounge area and an oversized bathroom. Royal Panorama Suites, which are located at the rear of the Diamond Deck, enjoy panoramic views of the breathtaking passing scenery through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Dining

Your river cruise aboard Scenic Sapphire is more than an exploration of Europe, it’s a deep dive into the regional culinary delights and flavours of the waters you sail.

Crystal Dining, Scenic Sapphire’s main restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Award-winning chefs prepare á la carte menus with a wide range of cuisine from local specialities to a seafood gala evening. L’Amour, on Diamond Deck, showcases sumptuous regional specialities from the freshest local produce. The five-course menu is paired with wines from the region’s best wineries. River Café on Diamond Deck provides you with a wonderful range of complimentary delicious light meals, snacks and refreshments that you can take anywhere at any time. Table La Rive on Sapphire Deck welcomes Royal Suite, Junior Suite and Diamond Deck guests to an evening of sumptuous dégustation. In an intimate dining setting with only 10 guests, Table La Rive is the ultimate treat for your palate.

Entertainment

Handpicked by Scenic River Cruises’ team of expert Journey Designers, each Scenic Enrich experience is designed to expose you to stimulating moments of boundless cultural discovery. Immersing you head-to-toe in the culture, heritage and folklore of the country you’re sailing through, Scenic Enrich affords spectacular encounters far removed from those enjoyed by the masses.

Whether you want a relaxed pace or you want to fit in as much as possible, Scenic Freechoice offers a diverse range of sightseeing activities and dining for you to choose from. And, of course, they’re all included. The handpicked, varied and fascinating shore excursion options allow you to personalise your pursuits every day.

Back onboard, your itinerary will take into account your specific wellness needs so that you have complete control over customising your well-being, your way. Scenic Sapphire has a Walking Track, Wellness Area, Fitness Centre, Vitality Pool and Salt Therapy Lounge.
