Scenic Diamond is a 135-metre Scenic Space-Ship designed for luxury river cruising in southwestern France. Following its 2017 refurbishment, the ship offers spacious suites, Scenic Sun Lounges, multiple dining venues, a cooking school, Salt Therapy Lounge, wellness facilities and intimate public areas. It primarily serves Bordeaux-region waterways, including the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde estuary, with an emphasis on regional cuisine, guided exploration and all-inclusive service.
A purpose-built European river ship with Scenic Sun Lounge suites, a top-deck walking track, Panorama Lounge, River Café, outdoor vitality pool and scenic observation areas. Its smaller scale provides a relatively intimate onboard environment.
Dining includes the main Crystal Dining restaurant, Portobello’s Italian venue, River Café casual service and the specialty Table La Rive experience. Scenic Culinaire provides a dedicated space for cooking demonstrations and regional culinary activities.
The Panorama Lounge and Bar hosts onboard social activities, live music, lectures and local performances. Scenic’s Enrichment Manager coordinates entertainment and educational programming during the voyage.
The post-refurbishment layout contains 78 suites and staterooms, including Standard Suites, Balcony Suites, Junior Suites and larger Royal Suites. Many accommodations feature Scenic Sun Lounges that convert between enclosed and open-air viewing areas.
Scenic Diamond is primarily designed for adults and luxury-focused travelers rather than families with children. Public areas include a swimming pool, walking track and bicycles for active exploration.
Facilities include a fitness area, wellness center, massage services and an exclusive Salt Therapy Lounge. The Sun Deck also provides space for walking and outdoor relaxation.
The ship has an elevator serving the principal accommodation decks and public areas, but river ships may include stairs, narrow corridors and uneven access routes. Travelers with mobility needs should confirm current arrangements directly with Scenic before booking.
As an inland river vessel, Scenic Diamond operates on European waterways and uses a compact, shallow-draft design suited to river navigation. No vessel-specific environmental technology was verified from a primary source.
