Scenic Group 2025/26 Southeast Asia River Sailings

Scenic Group has announced the launch of its two new Asian River Cruise brochures from both its luxury cruising and tour brands, Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises.

The two brochures will offer the “most comprehensive and diverse” collection of Asian river sailings and land journey itineraries for 2025/2026, including sailings departing during the increasingly popular off-season, also known as the Green Season.

Available now for agents, both brochures feature a host of new sailings and routes, alongside favourite itineraries that continue to prove popular with guests year on year.

Agents will also be able to join Journey Designer, Adam Burke and Sales Manager, William Young on 19 November at 10am to hear all about Scenic Group’s 2025/2026 Asia River Cruises & Land Journeys.

In particular, Scenic will be adding the 23-day cruise and land journey, Indochina Explorer and Luxury Mekong Cruise, priced from £9,736 per person, including flights, transfers, Wi-Fi, excursions, beverages and meals.

The itinerary offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in Southeast Asian culture with a land journey and river cruise that takes in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia including seven nights onboard Scenic Spirit, complete with an exclusive wine tasting event.

For those guests keen to experience the Green Season, this itinerary sets sail during the off-season with a departure on both 8 October and 5 November 2025.

The new Emerald Cruises Asian River Cruise brochure features two new destinations for the brand: Japan and Laos.

One highlight is the new 16-day Wonders of Indochina and the Mekong Cruise, with prices starting from £5,299 per person, including flights, transfers, meals and excursions, based on a 23 October, 6 November and 20 November 2025 departure.

Guests will sail onboard the luxury Star-Ship Emerald Harmony from the bustling Ho Chi Minh City and experience traditional Southeast Asian ways of life found in My An Hung village.

Crossing the border into Cambodia, the cruise arrives at Phnom Penh before venturing to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat.

New for 2025/2026 guests will continue to Luang Prabang, the spiritual capital of Laos, where they can attend the morning ritual and see local monks collecting alms, before later travelling to the Kuang Si waterfalls.

During the Green Season, guests can also book the 10-day Meandering Majestic Mekong cruise with departure dates available from August to October 2025.

The new brochures will also feature new excursions including a tour of Saigon by night in a vintage jeep and whilst journeying along the Mekong River, the opportunity to visit the small island of Tan Phong to view a water hyacinth weaving workshop and tour tropical fruit gardens.

For guests keen to experience the Green Season, which runs from May to November, the Scenic Group offers tours across both its Scenic and Emerald Cruises brands.

Whilst there is typically heavier rainfall during this period, the Green Season offers a refreshing break from the otherwise higher temperatures.

Given the weather patterns, it holds strong appeal for guests as a quieter time to travel and experience local destinations, cultures and traditions without the crowds.

It is also an opportunity to see the region in full bloom and catch sight of local wildlife alongside breathtaking scenery.

Commenting on the new brochure launch, Nick Hughes, Director of Sales, Partnerships and Strategic growth said:

“Southeast Asia is such a rich, diverse region and its popularity continues to grow year on year.

“Ahead of the peak turn of year season we wanted to share our new Asian River Cruise brochures for both brands with our agent partners, so they have the opportunity to learn more about the region and the Green Season in particular which is a truly unique holiday experience and sales opportunity.

“We have invested in developing our most comprehensive programme across both the Scenic and Emerald Cruises brands for the 2025/2026 season so that agents and their guests have access to the widest choice of itineraries and destinations available.”

The collection launch coincides with a series of investments from Scenic Group, aimed at supporting agent partners and driving sales growth.

The investments include a new training programme and a recruitment drive for its sales and partnership team.
