The recently rebranded tour operator, Scenic, is giving travellers a sneak peek at its second Myanmar-based vessel, Scenic Aura.
The ship will join Scenic Spirit (launching January next year) on the Irrawaddy River in September next year, where she will sail 10-night itinerary between Mandalay and Pyaya.
Fitted with the luxury and five-star standards of the line’s European vessels, but with a touch of Asia, the ship will be purpose built with new ‘cutting edge design’ and enhanced safety and sustainability features.
Scenic Aura will travel along the Irrawaddy with 44 guests in just 22 all-balcony suites.
All rooms feature a separate bedroom, living room and balcony and range in size from the 24sqm Balcony Suite complete with Scenic Sun Lounge up to the impressive 70sqm Royal Panorama Suite, which is the largest suite on the Irrawaddy.
The Royal Panorama Suite has four separate zones – bathroom with extra-large bathtub, rainfall shower and walk-in dressing room; bedroom; living room and outdoor forward facing deck complete with daybed and Jacuzzi.
The 5-star Scenic Aura also boasts a choice of dining venues offering a la carte to casual dining made from the freshest local produce, a vitality pool and bar area, spacious bar and lounge, Sun Deck with open air cinema, complimentary beverages, butler service for all guests plus a guest laundry.
As with all Scenic river cruises, guests will also enjoy included tips and gratuities, expert local guides, all Scenic Freechoice activities to personalise their experience plus Scenic Enrich special events and Scenic Sundowners cocktail receptions.
“We are excited to be launching our second ship in South East Asia. Sales for the Mekong have been fantastic, showing us that our guests really want to explore this region with us and experience our signature brand of all-inclusive luxury river cruising outside of Europe.”
