Add one more travel segment that Forbes Travel Guide (“FTG”) is now affording its star rating: river cruises.

Emerald Cruises has unveiled its 2027–2028 yacht cruise collection, featuring the debut Mediterranean season of its newest luxury yacht Emerald Raiya.

Travel advisors are being urged to act swiftly to secure bookings for Scenic Eclipse II’s remaining voyages in Australian waters, with limited-time savings on offer.

Scenic Group heavy hitters Katherine O’Neill and Angus Crichton have both been promoted to support the growth and expansion of the Scenic and Emerald Cruises fleets.

Growing demand for longer journeys that combine different modes of travel has spurred Scenic to launch the 2026 Grand Journey Collection, promising “ultimate life-changing journeys” that combine ocean, river, and land travel.

The Scenic Group held its first Night of Stars awards event since February 2020 at the weekend, with the event’s revival a celebration of record-breaking sales in 2024 as well as the industry’s triumphant return to form.
