About Scenic Gem
Scenic Gem is a shortened Space-Ship built in 2014 for the Seine: at 110 metres she was designed to reach the upper Seine and also the Normandy port of Honfleur. She carries up to 122 guests in 61 suites with a crew of 56 (the line's ship page says up to 124), and was built by the De Hoop yard at Tolkamer in the Netherlands rather than the yards used for her longer sisters. On board are Crystal Dining, the L'Amour restaurant, the River Café and Table La Rive. Her Normandy & Gems of the Seine cruises run round trip from Paris. She was refurbished in 2024.
