SCENIC Cruises has confirmed new itineraries on both the Mekong and Irrawaddy rivers next year.
The Scenic Spirit, which will launch on the Mekong in January 2016, will travel between Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City and Cambodia’s Siem Reap on an eight-day circuit. Meanwhile, Scenic Aura will launch on the Irrawaddy in Myanmar, and it will be an 11-day trip between Mandalay and Pyay.
Both ships are all-suite – 34 on Scenic Spirit and 22 on Scenic Aura – and will range from 24m² to 80m² in size. The package, targeted at the above-55 demographic, includes free beverages, butler and laundry service, tips, gratuities, and most activities.
“Our expansion into South-east Asia has been a huge success since we launched our Mekong cruises last November. Our guests’ appetite for cruising this region with us has been voracious, with sales surpassing expectations,” said Adam Burke, journey designer Asia at Scenic Cruises.
