“We are so excited to be able to greet our guests again after such a challenging year,” states Rob Voss, COO, The Scenic Group. “Our teams in operations, sales and marketing have worked hard with our travel partners to bring about our European launch and we are seeing very positive responses from our guests, who have been looking forward to this news.
