Scenic has expanded its 2016 Canada, Alaska & USA program after continued sales success in the North America region.

 

Unveiled today, the new brochure features seven new itineraries, two new extensions and a number of new Enrich events and Freechoice activities.

According to the recently re-branded company’s GM Product Development Aleisha Fittler, additional content comes as the region proves to be ‘hugely popular’ amongst Scenic clients.

“[Plus] there are more ‘two nation vacations’ – combining Canada and the USA.”
