About Sena Cruise
Sena cruise goes above and beyond in providing world-class services in a traditional Oriental atmosphere. Meanwhile, the crew always goes out of its way to cater to guests. Best yet, the ship provides it all at a bang-for-your-buck price.

A broad range of superior services and facilities add to the cruise’s laid-back luxury.
