MS Serenissima VOYAGES ABOARD THE MS SERENISSIMA MEDiterranean - NORWEGIAN FJOrds - UK APRIL TO SEPTEMBER 2019 2 www.noble-caledonia.co.uk Dolphins Small Ship Cruising aboard the MS Serenissima Ships of all different sizes and styles can make the selection of a cruise a somewhat hit and miss affair, and whilst some companies attempt to please everybody, we prefer to continue with our focus on small ships and to that end are delighted to have once again chartered the 95 passenger, MS Serenissima for a series of fascinating cruises in 2019. In many ways the virtues of small ship cruising are best expressed by detailing what you will not find on board. For instance, there will be no organised entertainment and no black tie events. What there will be is a warm and peaceful atmosphere in which you can learn more about the wonders of nature, culture and ancient civilisations in the company of like-minded people in comfortable surroundings and with a high level of service. Due to her size, the MS Serenissima has the freedom of the seas and can come alongside in small docks or drop anchor in any suitable spot allowing us to still seek out and visit the ports which the larger cruise ships are unable to access. Whilst on board you can listen to presentations from our onboard Guest Speakers and the informative port briefings from our Cruise Director and when ashore, explore the sites with our expert local guides. We will also ensure, whenever possible, that you have some time to discover the destination independently if you wish. After a day of discovery, you can then join different people each evening and discuss the day’s adventures over dinner. Puffin Tresco Lofoten Islands +44 (0)20 7752 0000 3 ms serenissima Harald Jarl 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.

All this and much more can be particularly enjoyed from the comfort of a small ship. Our journey begins in the Arctic Circle at Tromso from where we cruise south to experience the wildlife of the Vesteralen Islands and explore deep sided Trollfjorden. We continue to the Lofoten Islands, with their many small fishing villages amongst a backdrop of mountainous scenery that often experiences snowfall even in the summer. Our journey then takes us across the Arctic Circle and along Norways fjord indented coastline. Words cannot describe the awe-inspiring scenery that follows as we take in views of mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, valleys and slopes. truly dramatic fjords. Amongst them, Naerofjorden which has been included on UNESCOs World Heritage List. Our time spent discovering some of Norways most impressive fjords from the deck of our small ship promises to astound even A highlight for many will be the journey on the Flam Railway, the most jaded of travellers. Leaving Norway we call into one of the most beautiful railway lines in the world. The train Lerwick, capital of the Shetland Islands before we explore the journey provides us with views of some of Norways wildest and magnificent sea cliffs of Torridonian sandstone which rise from most magnificent scenery with rivers cutting through deep the Atlantic at Handa. Our final call before disembarking in ravines, cascading waterfalls, snowcapped mountains and Oban is to Tanera Mor in the Summer Isles, a perfectly scenic mountain farms clinging to sheer and relaxing conclusion to our journey which will have involved seeing nature at its rawest, cruising along rugged coastlines, witnessing vibrant colours and admiring prolific birdlife.
