in the Scenic Tours fleet: Scenic Crystal.
Episode 1
Livinia boards the Scenic Crystal and begins her cruise in Amsterdam, where the festival
of Queensday is taking place. The inaugural

Royal Delft factory and the Delta works
before arriving in the World Heritage city of
Bruges and then on to Antwerp.

The ship arrives in the historic city
of Cologne before setting sail along the
Moselle River to the Roman city of Trier.
Marking the end of the trip through the Rhine
Gorge is Rüdesheim, where Livinia takes a cable car above the town, which gives a
fantastic view of the region, and visits a
unique musical museum.

Guests dine at the renowned Rastatt Palace, followed by an unforgettable concert in the
hall of Rastatt. The ship then sails into Kehl,
located on the German side of the Rhine
River, and Livinia takes a short bike ride
over a bridge to the French city of
Strasbourg on the opposite shore. A final
stop in Basel, Switzerland, marks the end of
the voyage.

as well as the largest! The Scenic Emerald also features private outdoor balconies on the majority of staterooms and suites, the only ship on France's waterways to do so.
