Dining

Diverse and delicious food experiences are one of the highlights of your Scenic cruise. You’ll be spoilt for choice, from your first coffee and freshly baked pastry of the day to that last relaxing nightcap from your mini-bar, or late night room service.

From degustation fine dining to a relaxed pizza, highlight evenings to unwinding with new friends, there's a venue and a menu to suit every occasion. Our chefs draw inspiration from the regions you travel through so all our food is seasonal and regional as well as freshly prepared and delicious. And what would food be without just the right drink to go with it? Choose French Champagne, regional wines selected by our sommelier or a local beer at all of our dining venues.
