Harald Lounge On Deck The Restaurant
The charming MS Serenissima began her career as the Harald Jarl, cruising the Norwegian coastline and fjords.
Since 2003, when she was extensively renovated, she has been operating as a classic cruise ship. Previously known
as the MS Andrea, she was upgraded again in 2013 and started her new life as the MS Serenissima. With her small
size she can navigate into small, remote ports inaccessible to the big cruise ships and appears an impressive sight
when moored. With her fleet of Zodiacs, she is capable of both destination and expedition cruising. In December
2018, the vessel will once again undergo a significant refurbishment and, after a re-configuration of the deck plan
will accommodate a maximum of just 95 guests.
Your Cabin/Suite
Accommodating no more than 95 passengers, the cabins are hot and cold dishes available. Dinner is served a la carte and is four courses,
attractively designed for comfort and convenience. All cabins are fully except at the Captain’s Dinner, which is a six course affair. Where possible,
