m/v Serenissima

The motor ship Serenissima, entered service in 2003 after a multi-million dollar renovation by Swedish craftsmen, in 2012/13 she underwent another refurbishment. With her  strengthened hull for ice service, her small size and relatively shallow draft she can dock in the heart of Europe’s historic centers and is able to navigate into smaller, remote ports inaccessible to the big cruise vessels. All staterooms are air-conditioned, there is also an elevator for passenger use. The Serenissima cruises the Mediterranean during the summer season. She offers a 4 star plus comfort while providing discerning clients the adventure and excitement of expedition cruising.
