In recent years, “revenge travel” dominated headlines, signaling a global rush to reclaim missed moments post-pandemic. But for many Americans, that wasn’t the reality. New research commissioned by Scenic Group reveals that seven in 10 Americans (69%) say they feel behind on their travel goals – especially when comparing themselves to others. This emotional tension now has a name: travel dysmorphia. It reflects the disconnect between the trips people once envisioned and those still unrealized. In response, Scenic Group is offering a new way forward for those ready to stop waiting and start exploring.

In 2024, Scenic Eclipse will be cruising to a little-known chain of islands better known as Raja Ampat in Indonesia. It is one of the most ecologically rich and unspoilt paradises in the world and is a visual masterpiece.

Raymond Blanc will join guests of Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours on a culinary-themed river cruise exploring the gastronomic heart of France this summer.

Both the Scenic and Emerald cruise lines will resume their original Douro schedules, offering eight-day round-trips from Porto exploring the sun-drenched vineyards and postcard-worthy towns.

The Scenic Group will suspend operations for land tours, river and ocean cruises until the end of June at the earliest in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Scenic Cruises confirmed the ship earlier departed the shipyard on its journey to Valletta, Malta for registration. From there she will make a number of short stops before arriving in Reykjavik, Iceland, where she will commence operations of her first scheduled cruise.
