TORONTO — Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours is expanding its ultra-luxury portfolio with the introduction of the 2026 Grand Journeys Collection.

Designed for travellers seeking in-depth exploration, these new itineraries combine ocean, river and land travel into an all-encompassing experience. They include up to 15 extended itineraries ranging from 41 to 86 days, with featured regions like France, Portugal, Central Europe, the Baltics, the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, Chile, Peru, the Arctic, Japan and Southeast Asia.

“Since we introduced our first river-to-ocean cruise combination itineraries, we have seen a remarkable increase in their popularity,” said Elisabeth Sadler, Vice President, Product River Cruises. “Guests have shown a growing appetite for longer, more immersive travel experiences. With the expansion of our fleet and access to a wider range of destinations, combining Scenic’s ultra-luxury river and ocean cruises was a natural step. The unique combination of a river cruise’s in-depth, inland exploration and the coastal highlights of an ocean cruise has been incredibly appealing to our guests.”

Guests booking a Scenic Grand Journey will enjoy a fully all-inclusive experience, featuring internal flights and transfers, a selection of Freechoice excursions, exclusive Scenic Enrich events, unlimited premium beverages and all tipping and gratuities. Additional Grand Journey VIP benefits include an on-board credit of up to US$2,000 per suite for use on Scenic Eclipse cruises towards helicopter flights or wellness experiences, priority boarding, invitation-only dining, and additional complimentary laundry services.
