Dining Experiences

Dining – always a pleasure!

One of the greatest pleasures of life aboard ship is the delicious fare served in a wonderful convivial atmosphere each day. With a host of on-board activities to ensure that any calories gained can be burned off, even the most dietconscious can avoid pangs of guilt, despite the wonderful array of tempting culinary delights on offer. From a full English breakfast – or a traditional continental variety – through a leisurely lunch, and on to the highlight of the culinary day, the evening meal, the ships’ kitchens will surprise and delight. British and International Cuisine

Enjoy breakfast in the dining room or on deck. In addition to choosing from a full buffet, you can order your eggs exactly as you like them, cooked as fresh as the morning. Lunch – a relaxed casual affair – is similarly presented in a buffet style, often with local specialities such as a Catch of the Day. Throughout your cruise, you can enjoy dishes prepared according to the traditions of the destinations you are visiting, served alongside those tailored to suit British tastes. When evening comes, whether it’s a formal affair, when the ladies like to dress for the occasion and gentlemen don jacket and tie or dinner suit, or a dress-down ‘party-night’, the highlight of the day is inevitably the spread prepared by the kitchen team. Delicious appetisers, salads and soups, a choice of main courses and an array of desserts or a tempting cheese platter all ensure that you leave the table each night vowing that tomorrow, the diet begins! Of course, there are healthy options and vegetarian choices as well. In addition, a choice of dining venues brings the chance to enjoy a change of scenery and a lighter meal. In-between Meals

Aboard ship, you’ll never go hungry, since in addition to mealtimes, there are afternoon tea and even late-night snacks to keep tummies from rumbling! Speciality Dining

You’ll find more intimate specialty restaurants offering yet further dining options at a supplementary charge - perfect for that special occasion or simply to treat yourself. The Ultimate Dining Experience
