Custom-built for Portugal’s Douro River, Scenic Azure offers an intimate and luxurious cruising experience, accommodating just 96 guests in all-inclusive comfort. Since her launch in 2016, she has set a new benchmark for small-ship elegance, combining an inviting atmosphere with Scenic’s signature five-star service.
Though shorter than other vessels in the Scenic Space-Ship fleet—allowing her to navigate the Douro’s winding waterways and intricate locks—Scenic Azure more than makes up for her size with exceptional design, innovative features, and a superior level of comfort.
Cabin Specifications
Scenic Azure features 48 beautifully appointed suites, each thoughtfully designed to provide the ultimate in luxury and tranquility. The ship maintains an impressive 1:2 crew-to-guest ratio, ensuring every passenger receives attentive, personalized service.
Most suites feature the signature Scenic Sun Lounge, transforming your private balcony into an all-weather retreat where you can soak in the warmth of the Portuguese sunshine and admire the passing vineyard-clad landscapes. Inside, each suite is elegantly furnished with a Queen-sized Scenic Slumber Bed, spacious en-suite bathroom, and all the refined amenities you would expect from a world-class boutique hotel.
Features Onboard
Spread across four decks, Scenic Azure offers an inviting mix of public lounges, dining venues, and relaxation areas that make every moment onboard feel indulgent and serene. Guests can unwind on the Sun Deck, enjoy live entertainment, or simply take in the Douro’s scenic beauty from one of the ship’s many cozy spaces.
Dining onboard is an experience in itself, with up to five culinary venues serving cuisine inspired by the regions you sail through. From gourmet meals at Crystal Dining to light snacks at the River Café, or even private in-suite dining, there’s something to suit every mood and appetite.
The ship’s dedicated team—including the Captain, Cruise Director, butlers, and world-class chefs—deliver service that goes above and beyond, ensuring every guest’s journey is seamlessly tailored to their preferences. With all-inclusive luxury, elegant surroundings, and the charm of the Douro as your backdrop, Scenic Azure promises a river cruise unlike any other.
