We have been on Serenade before. Lovely ship for her age and recent upgrade noticeable. We chose this smaller ship for Alaska so we could do the inside passage. The return journey skipped the inside due to vague ‘operational reasons’ which was disappointing and a better explanation would have been nice. Great food and entertainment, little to fault!

An older, more traditional ship which has aged well and has a friendly, pleasant ambience. I do not like the larger ships with innovative extras that are of no interest to me. Food was very appetising and varied. Cabins were comfortable. Staff were most helpful and friendly. I would sail again on this ship or oghers in same class.

The boat is small & feels tired, it’s clear it’s a bit older than other boats out there, it does have character but it needs modern features. The entertainment staff were very good & the “washy-washy” girl was amazing, morale was high but let down by the age of the boat
