Elegant Dining at Sea

We believe that dining onboard should be just as extraordinary as the view.
You'll have the option to choose between:
● Tapas Menu
Your on-board private chef prepares your custom planned array of curated small plates paired perfectly with wine and breathtaking surroundings. Ideal for the 3- to 4-hour evening experience, this is a stylish, relaxed way to enjoy multiple flavors while keeping your attention on the scenery and conversation.
● Gourmet Chef Experience
Elevate your journey and have your on-board chef prepare a custom multi-course meal that could feature selections like Omakase-style sushi, Maine lobster, Wagyu beef, and caviar. This option transforms your evening into a culinary voyage and is best enjoyed with 4+ hours of cruising.
