Scenic and Emerald offering free cruises in new trade incentive

Wednesday, Jan 21, 2026 0

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises & Tours have launched a new trade incentive offering travel agents the chance to win a river cruise.

Running until February 28, 2026, the campaign includes two cabins – one on Scenic River Cruises and one on Emerald Cruises – that will be awarded to agents who sell 20 cabins across a selection of March and April 2026 river cruise departures.

Applicable itineraries departing in March and April include:

* Emerald’s eight-day ‘Jewels of the Rhine’ voyage, departing Amsterdam and calling at Düsseldorf; Cologne; Koblenz; Mannheim; Strasbourg; Breisach; Freiburg; and Basel. Prices start from £2,395pp. Includes a complimentary upgrade from an Emerald Stateroom to a Panorama Balcony Suite, return flights and a free Platinum drinks package or €300 onboard credit per couple.

* Scenic’s eight-day ‘Gems of the Danube’ cruise, departing Munich and calling at Passau; Linz; Melk; Durnstein; Vienna; Bratislava; and Budapest. Prices start from £2,795pp. Includes a complimentary upgrade from a Standard to a Balcony Suite, return flights and private door-to-door transfers.

The incentive applies to new bookings, which will be automatically entered into a prize draw. The winners will be chosen at random and join a seven-night sailing on selected departures in 2026.

Jonathan Davies, head of sales at Scenic Group, said: “Travel agents are at the heart of everything we do, and this incentive is our way of rewarding their expertise and passion. By selling Scenic and Emerald, agents aren’t just unlocking exceptional value for their clients; they’re earning the chance to experience our brands as their customers do. There is no better sales tool than first-hand experience, and this incentive offers them an opportunity to step on board and understand the Scenic and Emerald difference.”
