The classy dining room and the adjoining cosy bar lounge are surrounded
by large windows providing beautiful views of the ports of call
It accommodates all guests in one single seating and provides
a high standard of cuisine, always with some local flavour. The

to the ship and for a wide range of sea related activities. Service
on board is provided by your Captain, the Cruise Coordinator and
your experienced Marine and Hotel crew members. Service will be
attentive or unobtrusive according to your requirements and priority
is always given to the safety and comfort of passengers. Organised
