In response to continued demand for European river cruises, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours is opening pre-bookings for its 2027 season¡ªthe company¡¯s earliest-ever opening of pre-bookings.

Travelers can now pre-book cruises across France, Portugal and the Rhine-Main-Danube region, with departures starting as early as February and extending through December.

For example, the line is offering a 15-day ¡°Romantic Rhine & Moselle¡± itinerary from Amsterdam to Basel that travels through vineyard-clad hillsides, charming half-timbered towns and cultural treasures. Also available are 8-day sailings along the Danube, Rh?ne and Douro rivers, as well as Christmas market sailings and departures in Bordeaux.

For travel advisors, now is a perfect time to book group trips and secure early-season offers.

¡°We¡¯ve seen a growing trend of guests not only booking farther out to secure their best rate and stateroom category, but also combining our 6-star ocean voyages with river cruises to create the ultimate journey of a lifetime,¡± says Ken Muskat, president of Scenic Group for the United States and Latin America.

¡°There¡¯s real momentum behind this travel style.¡±?
