SCENIC celebrated the launch of its first ship, the Scenic Spirit, in Southeast Asia with river cruises along the Mekong River through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. The event, on Saturday, May 11, featured special guests who were invited to sample the experience of setting sail at sunset on a ship with the aid of wine, canapés and a live band on the deck. The guests inspected the three types of suites: Deluxe, Grand Deluxe and Royal Panaroma. The suites have a private balcony and personal Jacuzzi. Scenic have designed a modern river resort with a pool, bar, steam sauna, massage and salon. Prices per couple range from around $6000 to $20,000. Photos by Chhim Sreyneang
