The Scenic Aria is coming to Portugal’s Douro River in 2027.
Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours has released its 2027 Europe River Cruising & Land Journeys brochure, showcasing a collection that spans 15 countries and 12 waterways. Highlights of the program include a new ship on the Douro River and new culinary-focused journeys across Central Europe and France.
