OPERATIONAL UPDATES

We hope that you are all well and adapting to the ongoing health and safety restrictions, required to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

The continued Government travel restrictions and border closures in many countries has made it impossible for us to operate our scheduled departures and we have been forced to further suspend all cruises and tours up to 31st August 2020.

Our flexible policy for guests with a cruise or land tour booking departing from 1st July to 31st August 2020:

To ensure your future travel plans will be protected, if you hold a:

· River or ocean cruise reservation during this period, the Scenic Group will provide a 110% Future Travel Credit for the amount paid, to re-book and travel by 30th June 2023.

· Land tour (including Egypt cruise tours) reservation during this period, the Scenic Group will provide a 100% Future Travel Credit for the amount paid, to re-book and travel by 30th June 2023.

The flexible conditions for your FTC Voucher are as follows:

· Valid for travel commenced through to 30th June 2023.

· The value of your Future Travel Credit is based on the amount paid for your reservation to date

· The Future Travel Credit can be applied to any booking within the Scenic Group (Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Emerald Cruises and Evergreen Cruises & Tours)

· The Future Travel Credit can be applied to any existing booking or when re-booking your future travel

· Is fully transferrable to another guest

· Upon the expiry of the Future Travel Credit on 30 June 2023, guests who are unable to travel may request a cash refund equal to the amount paid

If you choose not to take up the option of the Future Travel Credit you can either re-book for a future travel date without penalty or request a full refund.

Our flexible booking and cancellation policy for guests with bookings departing from 1st September to 31st December 2020:

All guests with a booking to depart from 1st September 2020 and guests considering a booking after that date, have the option to transfer their booking to an alternate date without a Scenic Group fee up to 31st December 2021 (or 31st December 2022 for Scenic Eclipse), up to 30 days prior to departure. The Scenic Group will waive all cancellation fees with the value of the booking applied as a Future Travel Credit and we will review the timing for the full payment when re-booking. Please note, if you choose to cancel or transfer there may be third party fees applicable, which will be at the guests own expense.

This allows guests more time to make decisions about their future travel plans. This policy will apply to all brands within the Scenic Group: Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Scenic Eclipse and Emerald Cruises.

We will continue to monitor the changing global situation and remain committed to doing our best to assist with your concerns and adjusting travel plans.

On behalf of the Scenic Group team, we are here to support you during this challenging time and we look forward to exploring our precious world with you again very soon.
