Scenic and Emerald Cruises offer 2-for-1, free air, and stack weekend savings

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises have announced a new February promotion as this year’s Wave Season nears its midpoint. The new cruise deals from the sister brands run from February 2 through March 8, 2026, and offer 2-for-1 fares and free air on select itineraries.

Additionally, the two brands are also running a “Weekend Flash” offer from February 6 through 8 that adds an extra $100 per person in immediate savings. Bookings made during the Weekend Flash window must use promotional code WEEKEND26 to receive the additional $100 per person savings.

“We continue to see strong demand for forward-planned travel, and our Weekend Flash offer reflects that momentum,” said Ken Muskat, president of Scenic Group US & LATAM.

Scenic Adds Value for Antarctica

Scenic’s Wave promotion centers on its ultra-luxury river and ocean portfolio, with 2-for-1 fares available on select 2026 and 2027 sailings. Eligible itineraries include European and Southeast Asia river cruises, as well as ocean and expedition voyages. Scenic is also offering Scenic Select bonus savings of up to $2,000 per suite on river cruises and up to $4,000 per suite on ocean itineraries, depending on the sailing.

For Antarctica, Scenic is layering additional value onto select Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II itineraries departing between November 2025 and February 2027. Travelers who pay in full on qualifying Antarctica expeditions can also receive a complimentary 30-minute helicopter flight.

Wave Savings On Emerald

Emerald Cruises’ Wave offers focus on 2-for-1 fares on select 2026 and 2027 river cruises in Europe and Southeast Asia, along with savings on luxury yacht sailings scheduled through 2028. Emerald Exclusive bonus savings reach up to $1,500 per suite on river cruises and up to $2,000 per suite on select yacht itineraries.

Travelers booking either brand who choose to pay in full may qualify for complimentary airfare or air credits, with inclusions varying by itinerary, destination and suite category. Depending on the sailing, this can include economy or premium economy flights, with business-class airfare offered on select Scenic itineraries, or alternative savings in place of air.

While the offers share a common framework, the onboard experience differs by brand. Scenic positions itself in the ultra-luxury space, with all-inclusive river and ocean journeys that feature spacious suites, butler service, fine dining and immersive excursions, as well as expedition cruising to remote destinations. Emerald Cruises offers a more contemporary luxury approach, with modern river ships and boutique yachts designed for travelers seeking stylish accommodations, strong inclusions and destination-focused itineraries at a lower entry price point.
