The Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) teamed up with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours as a new CARP Approved Partner, offering CARP members exclusive discounts and access to elite-level services.

"With this strategic partnership, we aim to enrich the lives of our members through travel experiences that cater to their taste for adventure and relaxation," said CARP President, Rudy Buttignol. "The significant rise in interest in cruising makes this an ideal time to welcome Scenic as an Approved Partner."

Latest CARP travel research cites the growing popularity of yacht and river cruising, with increases of 60% and 30%[2] respectively since 2019. More and more, travellers are seeking luxurious, yet intimate, cruising experiences.

Founded in 1985, CARP, a leading advocacy group for older Canadians, with 23 chapters nationwide, is committed to offering the highest quality of products and services to its more than 220,000 members.

Lisa McCaskill, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Scenic Canada, adds, "We’re delighted to provide CARP members exclusive opportunities to travel across over 60 destinations on our 5-star and 6-star ships. From the cultural richness of historic Europe to the pristine wilds of Antarctica, our guests enjoy unparalleled ultra-luxury and service throughout their journey with us."

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours boasts an impressive fleet of 13 ultra-luxury "Space-Ships," so named for their expansive public areas and larger suites. Since 2008, they have set the benchmark in truly all-inclusive, ultra-luxury 5-star river cruises in Europe and Southeast Asia. In 2019, they introduced Scenic Eclipse, the World’s First Discovery Yacht™, a 228-guest ultra-luxury ship, and their second yacht, Scenic Eclipse II, in April 2023. Their bespoke journeys take guests to such destinations as Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Alaska, the USA, Africa, Japan and South Korea.
