MS Serene Ship Information
Your day starts with breakfast onboard... sharing your favorite table by the window with the couple you became friends with at your welcome dinner... enjoying your favorite buffet selections just the way you like them... The riverboat docks right around the time you're finished with breakfast; you couldn't have asked for better timing... As you step off the ship, the local experts eagerly await to show you the places they call home on memorable all-included shore exursions. Back aboard, you'll have some time to explore your "floating hotel." Or decide to relax and chat with friends as you bask in the sun, sipping a cool drink. Refreshed, you head into the lobby just in time to watch the riverboat dock. Aboard the riverboat, you notice the lights reflecting on the river, and engage in a few moments' reflection of your own... taking in the magic of the riverscape one last time. After dinner, you meet your companions for a little more camaraderie around the piano in the lounge before calling it a night. Drifting off to sleep, you smile... realizing that you'll soon be waking up in another magical town... to embark on another perfect day of your Tauck river cruise.
