About Scenic Group:

From humble beginnings in Newcastle, Australia, to a global company with business centers in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, USA, Canada, and the UK, Scenic and Emerald Cruises are a true success story within the travel industry. The Scenic story began in 1986, when our founder Glen Moroney began operating coach tours throughout Australia, quickly expanding into New Zealand, Norfolk Island, and South Africa. By the end of the decade, Scenic was hosting tours to Canada and Alaska, and in 2008 we launched our unique Space-Ships and began offering luxury all-inclusive river cruises throughout Europe. In 2019, Scenic also launched the World’s First Discovery yacht, Scenic Eclipse. Emerald Cruises was formed in 2013 to offer a contemporary and inclusive cruise experience. Fast forward to 2023 and we have 9 Star-Ships sailing the worlds celebrated rivers and Emerald Azzurra, the first luxury yacht, which joined the fleet in 2022. We are eagerly awaiting to add Emerald Sakara to the family, launching in 2023 to sail the coastlines of the Caribbean, Central America, Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea.
