Cruises on board the Scenic Aura
The Scenic Aura embarks year-round on a breathtaking journey along the Irrawaddy River in southeast Asia. A luxury river vessel, the ship is equipped with an onboard swimming pool, a wellness area, and an open-air cinema. Every stateroom is assigned a personal butler, and her highly-trained service staff are happy to pamper you in every way. Multiple dining venues ensure an excellent choice of five-star cuisine, and regional specialties and Asian-inspired creations feature prominently throughout the menu. The Scenic Aura is the perfect ship for those looking to explore exotic destinations in a world-class environment.
Originating from the glaciers of the Himalaya Mountains, the Irrawaddy River flows southbound through the Myanmar (formerly Burma) countryside, through the stunning city of Mandalay, and into the Andaman Sea. A land shrouded in mystery, Myanmar entrances visitors with its picturesque pagodas, colorful temples, and fascinating history. A cruise along the "Road to Mandalay" is the perfect way to get an exclusive glimpse at this alluring destination.
