Creator's Key Takeaways
Scenic luxury Cruise Lines right and they started back in 2008 well actually back in 2006 chartered some cruise ships but then built their own and they are known as the spaceships
I would say Emerald caters to a little bit younger guests maybe 50 plus or those of us that are over that age but are really active and want to enjoy the pool the biking the hiking all of those features
I think by and far Scenic has the better Cuisine I think that emerald and Viking is neck and neck
when you're comparing if you were going Viking to Scenic you are looking at a difference of of almost 5400 to uh 4700 so there is a difference in price but then you need to add the tips on Viking
