Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Embark on each day with a tantalising array of options, whether it’s a fresh continental spread or a hot breakfast a la carte, boasting daily rotating offerings.
Aboard their fleet of small expedition ships, guests are treated to a diverse selection of plated and small sharing platter dining options that showcase the region’s finest flavours.
At lunchtime, guests can indulge in a variety of hot and cold dishes, ranging from crisp salads and savory cold cuts to hearty soups, locally sourced seafood, and seasonal tropical fruits, all served in individual portions or on small sharing plates.
Evenings onboard become a time for convivial dining experiences as guests gather to reflect on the day’s adventures over scrumptious dinners. They are warmly welcomed aboard with a delightful Seafood sharing concept dinner on the first night, followed by subsequent evenings featuring a three-course table d’Hote dinner menu. Guests can select their preferences while enjoying attentive table service from the friendly dining room staff.
Before dinner, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the magic of a memorable pre-dinner event ashore, where sunset drinks and canapes are served, often on a picturesque beach, ensuring they’re treated to stunning sunset views. These laid-back ‘sundowners,’ hosted by the Captain, offer the perfect opportunity for guests to unwind, sip on beer, wine, or cocktails, and mingle with fellow guests in a relaxed setting.
For lunch and dinner, guests can savor the flavours with a carefully curated beverage list, showcasing boutique Australian and New Zealand wines, beers, and ciders.
As a special highlight, each voyage includes a Captain’s Table event for invited guests, and the ship’s Officers make it a point to host dinners for guests whenever operational schedules allow.
