Serenade of the Seas to visit Oman

Posted on June 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Serenade of the Seas the sister ship of the Brilliance of the Seas will visit Oman on a weekly basis from December 2012.

Each week during winter The Brilliance of the Seas visits Muscat for two days and we have had some wonderful visitors book our tours. Though The Brilliance has only been coming for about three years its clear that its a popular ship as we have had the same couple book us on consecutive years. So we hope that the passengers of The Serenade of the Seas like their ship as much as the fans of The Brilliance like it.

Our guests who had booked a shore excursion of Muscat from the Brilliance of the Seas two day visit to Muscat were not alone as on the next quay the Costa Luminosa docked for a single day visit . We decided to leave a bit later than normal to visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque as we hoped that the crowds would have thinned a bit when we arrived.
