Middle East Travel Updates

We are closely monitoring the changing circumstances in the Middle East due to the ongoing conflict. It is important that you consult your travel advisor, the relevant airline policies and official government travel advisories.

Our river and ocean cruises, including our worldwide touring programs, continue to operate as scheduled, with the exception of Egypt and Jordan land journeys departing in April 2026.

We are actively contacting Guests and Travel Advisors with clients scheduled to depart in line with the relevant airline policies. Please visit airline websites for the most up-to-date information.

The safety of our guests remains our highest priority. We strongly encourage all guests scheduled to travel on Emirates, Qatar Airways, or Etihad Airways to closely monitor their flight status via the relevant airline app or official website. As the situation continues to evolve, guests should review their airline’s disruption policies and travel waivers, which are currently being updated regularly.

For Guests who have booked via their preferred travel agent, please contact your Travel Advisor as your first point of contact.

On behalf of management, we greatly appreciate your patience for any delays in responding to your enquiry as our teams work to support all impacted Guests and Travel Advisors.

Scenic Group Global Cruise Operations - Fuel Availability Update

The Global Operations Team are closely monitoring the ongoing situation in the Middle East and the impact on fuel supply chains.

Based on the current information, we remain in a strong position regarding fuel availability for our fleet of ships. Our fuel is sourced from regions outside of the Middle East region and the key operations are concentrated in areas with reliable supply networks.

We are pleased to confirm that all Scenic and Emerald River and Ocean cruises, will continue to operate as scheduled. Whilst we continue to monitor the situation, we are not planning to implement fuel surcharges for new bookings at this time. However, depending on the duration and impact of the current conflict, we may be required to pass on additional third‑party charges, should they arise.
