Scenic Tours is cruising into 2010 with the launch of a new 60 page brochure full of information on its “Scenic Space-Ships,” as the four river vessels in its fleet have been dubbed.
Scenic’s four ‘Space-Ships’ were all built in either 2008, (Scenic Sapphire and Scenic Emerald) or 2009 (Scenic Ruby and Scenic Diamond). Each ship accommodates 169 guests.
In 2010 Scenic will be offering a number of different savings opportunities, particularly for early bookings made either by Oct. 31 or Dec. 31, 2009. Early Bird specials include a Free Airfare offer as well as other “earlybird” specials.

Silversea rolls out the savings
Silversea Cruises is offering a new, simpler pricing structure that features savings of 60% plus free airfare on virtually all of its voyages in 2010.
The company's best-available, capacity-controlled prices are being offered for guests who book early.
For a limited time, and to coincide with the publication of its new Voyage Atlas (due for release shortly), Silversea is offering a 60% Silver Savings discount off the published fare for all sailings next year aboard Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper and Silver Spirit. The line's expedition ship, Prince Albert II, is also offering Silver Savings of up to 50% in 2010.
Effective for new 2010 bookings, the new Silver Savings incentive will be available, eliminating early-booking and advance-payment programs. Other savings options, such as Venetian Society Savings (for past guests), Onboard Savings (available during the cruise), Extended Voyage Savings (when combining two or more consecutive voyages) and the Solo Travelers fare will continue to be offered next year.
The introduction of Silver Savings is complemented by the offer of a free roundtrip air package that includes transfers between airport and pier on the day of embarkation and disembarkation.
The free air package is available from 22 gateway cities in the U.S. and Canada on most voyages in 2010 (excluding expedition cruises). It is a capacity-controlled program valid only for new bookings made by Dec. 31, 2009. Additionally, there are specially priced air programs available from another 50 cities.
