Personalized Dining Options
Before embarkation, we gather your dietary preferences through a detailed preference sheet.

Whether you have specific dietary requirements or simply prefer certain flavors, every meal is tailored to ensure a personalized and enjoyable dining experience.
Appetizers
Start your gourmet journey with a Dalmatian prosciutto and homemade cheeses, pickled vegetables, and olive tapenade. Opt for a Sea Bream Nicoise, smoked trout with parsley and Parmesan, and marinated tuna with sesame and avocado.
