One of the Scenic Sapphire's sister ships, the Scenic Diamond, was redesigned for river cruising in France in 2017. The Scenic Diamond "Space-Ship" shines with marble interiors and modern decor, as well as a Salt Therapy room and Scenic Culinaire demonstrations for passengers. From the all-weather vitality pool and updated wellness area, guests can enjoy a raft of extravagant features when cruising aboard.
Along with brand-new facilities and services, the Scenic Diamond cruise ship features France's most refined luxury suites, each carefully decorated to provide a genuinely luxurious stay. The Royal Owner's rooms, 520 square feet of pure luxury placed at the rear of the ships, offer panoramic views of the water beyond.

We are so glad that we chose Adventure Life. The service is top-notch. Everything is well taken care of and we just have to print the documents and go. Franny even gave us timely updates on possible airport strike.

The Adventure Life staff, for me it's Franny, always listens to what I say about what kind of travel my wife and I want and expect. It never goes wrong. The motto at AL seems to be I will get back to you right away if not sooner. Requested changes and special requests are encouraged and acted on ASAP.

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.
