13Meals on Board
If there is one constant on board, it is that you’ll enjoy delicious meals daily.
While meal times may change due to landings and wildlife encounters, you’ll
always be served three well-prepared meals per day. Most dietary restrictions
can be accommodated by letting us know prior to your expedition.
Breakfasts and lunches are normally served buffet style, while dinners are served
plated. À la carte meals are made at the time of your order, allowing our chefs to
prepare each dish to your individual needs, ensuring you receive top-quality meals
during the course of your expedition.
Soft drinks and juices are available during meals and when the bar is open; beer
and wine are served with dinner; and coffee, tea and water stations are available
around the clock – all included in the cost of your package. Spirits, premium wines
and champagne are available at extra cost which can be billed to your shipboard
account. The well-stocked bars on the ship are open to enjoy with your fellow
shipmates in late morning, afternoon and evening.
