SCENIC GEM\u00a0Review<\/h1>\n

Scenic scored a major winner with their step-out balconies that can be fully enclosed at the push of a button. Photo courtesy of Scenic Tours.<\/p><\/div>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Scenic Gem<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>was introduced in 2014. This “space ship” is smaller that the other vessels in Scenic’s fleet; however, it’s similar in size to other ships that cruise on the Seine River. Carrying up to 126 passengers and 46 crew members, the Scenic Germ is 361 feet long.<\/p>\n

This vessel was built in a similar fashion to the other “space ship” – just on a smaller scale. It has the same basic design in terms of layout and specifications.\u00a0Unlike many river cruise ships, Scenic Gem offers full, step-out balconies in place of more traditional French balcony staterooms. And 85 percent of its cabins have private balconies.<\/p>\n

There are 13 different stateroom categories aboard the Scenic Gem. Categories are further differentiated by their relative positions on the ship and their square footage:<\/p>\n
