    Russia left the catalogue in 2022

    Scenic Tsar sailed the Volga, between Moscow and St Petersburg. That programme no longer exists. In March 2022 the line suspended all its river cruises in Russia, for the season then running and the one after, and it has not resumed them since.

    The last season actually operated is therefore 2021. Our inventory shows zero departure dates for this ship, which confirms the same thing by another instrument.

    What we do not know

    The ship did not belong to the line. It was operated under charter from a Russian owner, which makes its fate harder to follow than a hull held outright.

    We have found no reliable source establishing what became of it: no sale, no change of name, no confirmed lay-up. Several online databases still show itineraries for this ship as far ahead as 2028. Those are automatic templates, not a resumption of operations, and we prefer to say so rather than let anyone believe the programme is coming back.

    Why this page stays online

    Because the name still circulates, in old brochures and in searches. A page that answers precisely is better than a silent page, or than a deleted address that leaves broken links behind it.

    Where to go instead

    Scenic Crystal pushes to the lower Danube, the Iron Gates and the Romanian plain, which stays the closest route in spirit. Scenic Amber, Scenic Opal and Scenic Jade cover the Danube and the Rhine with wide calendars.

    The Quebec framework

    Voyages AquaTerra holds a licence from Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur. Your payments go into a trust account, and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents covers the situations set out in the Travel Agents Act, including a supplier's failure. The cover has defined limits, best explained to you before you pay a deposit.

    The ship is the simple part of the file. The flight, the connection, the hotel night before embarkation and the transfer to the pier make up the rest, and that is where the real comfort of a departure is decided.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No. The line suspended all its Russian cruises in March 2022, for the season then running and the one after, and has not resumed them since. The last season operated is 2021.
    None. Our inventory shows zero departure dates for this ship, confirming by a second instrument the halt reported in the specialist press.
    We do not know, and we prefer to write that. No reliable source establishes a sale, a change of name or a lay-up. The ship was chartered, not owned by the line.
    Because several online databases generate calendars automatically, as far ahead as 2028 in some cases. Those are templates, not a resumption of operations.
    Nothing allows us to say so. The suspension announced in 2022 has not been lifted and no statement announces a return. We will correct this page if the situation changes.
    Because the name still circulates in old brochures and in searches. A page that answers precisely is better than a deleted address that leaves broken links behind it.
    A hundred and twelve guests. It was a medium-sized ship for the Russian network, noticeably smaller than the 135-metre ships of the line's European fleet.
    In 2012, for the Volga. It never sailed elsewhere under the line's colours, which is why it left the catalogue with the destination rather than being redeployed.
    The lower Danube, with the Iron Gates and the Romanian plain, stays the closest route in spirit: rural calls, few crowds, and a spectacular gorge on a sailing day.
    Files opened before March 2022 were handled at the time of the suspension. If you still hold a document connected to this ship, your advisor can check it with you.
    Yes, if the facts change. We measure the inventory regularly and will correct this page as soon as a reliable source establishes the ship's fate or a resumption of the programme.
    No. It was operated under charter from a Russian owner, which makes its fate harder to follow than a hull the line held outright.
    The line's formula included gratuities aboard and ashore, as across the rest of the fleet. The question no longer arises for this ship, for want of a programme.
    Not through us on this product. We do not sell Russian river cruises, and we will not advertise one until conditions have changed.
    Yes, as soon as the booking is made here. Licence, trust account and Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents apply whatever country the ship sails in.
