Full Time
Mid Level
From humble beginnings in Newcastle, Australia, to a global company with business centers in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, USA, Canada, and the UK, Scenic is a true success story within the travel industry. The Scenic story began in 1986, when our founder began operating coach tours throughout Australia, quickly expanding into New Zealand, Norfolk Island, and South Africa. By the end of the decade Scenic was hosting tours to Canada and Alaska, and in 2008 we launched our unique Space-Ships and began offering luxury all-inclusive river cruises throughout Europe. Emerald Cruises was formed in 2013. Scenic entered a new chapter in its journey with the launch of its first ocean-cruising vessel, Scenic Eclipse debuting in August 2019 and the Emerald Azzurra debuting in 2021. In 2023, Scenic and Emerald each added new ocean-cruising vessels to the fleet with Scenic Eclipse debuting in Spring 2023 and Emerald Sakara in August 2023.
