Your Dining

The cuisine on board is worthy of the finest restaurants where discreet, attentive service is standard. The Restaurant is elegant yet casual with no formal evenings and no assigned tables allowing you the freedom to dine with whom and when you please. The Restaurant features large windows and offers contemporary, international cuisine with menus featuring local specialities. In addition there is the convenience of the outdoor Grill for lunch and dinner (weather permitting) where you may prefer lighter fare for lunch, and in the evening seafood and grilled prime cuts are grilled tableside. Wine, soft drinks and tea and coffee are included with meals.

Your Life On Board

The atmosphere on board is warm and convivial and more akin to a private yacht or country hotel in which you can learn more about wonderful destinations you are visiting in the company of just 120 fellow, like-minded passengers There is a high ratio of crew to passengers and after a day ashore you will return to the comfort and peace of a wellrun and exceedingly comfortable ship. Talks and informative port briefings by the onboard team and of course good food, all contribute to make any voyage aboard the Exploris One a memorable and joyful experience.
