Serenade of the Seas launched in 2003 and built her identity around smaller, more adventurous itineraries: Alaska, Panama Canal, Hawaii, the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia. As the first Royal Amplified ship in the Radiance class, she gained the tallest slide complex on any Radiance vessel, a refreshed Windjammer Marketplace, and a reimagined pool deck with a hot tub extending over the ship's edge. Serenade is the pick for experienced cruisers who want their drama in the landscape, not in the entertainment complex.
