Russia. Five more Space-Ships are currently being built for launch in 2016: the
Scenic Amber, which will sail the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers; the Scenic
Azure, which will launch on Portugal’s Douro River; the Scenic Spirit and Scenic
Zen, which will explore the Mekong; and the Scenic Explorer, which will cruise
on Burma’s Irrawaddy River. |
