The 4-star MV Serenade 11 heralds a new era in river cruising. Beautifully furnished throughout, she boasts large hotel-style cabins that include both a bath and separate shower. You'll also be able to enjoy the ship's lounge-bar, huge and partially covered sun deck, elegant dining room, gym and sauna. 68 cabins take up three decks – Chopin (upper), Mozart (middle) and Beethoven (lower). At 16 square metres, the cabins are amongst the largest you'll find on any river cruiser. Each cabin has a small seating area, satellite TV, phone, fridge, safe and hairdrier. The cabins on Chopin and Mozart decks have full-length patio windows for panoramic riverside views, while those on the lower deck have a smaller picture window. The piece de resistance on board is undoubtedly the 5-star menu, with an array of dishes and a varied wine list developed by the ship's talented head chef.
