TastePLEASURES BEYOND THE PALATE

Our cuisine is acclaimed as the absolute finest at sea,

and our Executive Culinary Director, Master Chef

Jacques Pépin, demands nothing less. As the perfect

accompaniment, our complimentary restaurants

feature open-seating, freeing you to dine when, where

and with whom you wish. And the importance of

“taste” doesn’t end there. From the hand-selected

furnishings to the warm smiles of our staff, the

atmosphere is always conducive to enjoyment of

life’s finer things.


AN ELEGANT SETTINGThe Grand Dining Room is a study in stateliness, a tribute to the spirit of Europe’s marquee 5-star hotel restaurants that inspired its dignified yet convivial ambiance. Remarkably, as sumptuous as the Grand Dining Room’s decor is, guests always feel completely at ease within its grandeur. Much of that is a direct reflection of the formally attired and classically trained wait staff, graciously serving course after course of European-inspired cuisine or delectable alternatives such as healthy, savoury Canyon Ranch® selections or Jacques Pépin’s signature dishes.

A CLASSIC STEAKHOUSE IN EVERY SENSEPolo Grill embodies all the elements of a classic steakhouse, expressing them with timeless reverence. Each course stands as the very definition of a time-honoured favourite, most notably the beef dishes, all of which are USDA Prime and dry-aged for 28 days to enhance tenderness and flavour.


SO AUTHENTIC YOU COULD BE IN ITALYIn Italian, Toscana means Tuscan, and just as Tuscan cuisine evolved from rich family traditions, many of our recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of our own Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, each dish is a masterpiece that exemplifies the essence of Tuscany and celebrates Italy’s culinary passion.

A PASSION FOR FRENCH CUISINEComfortable and eclectic, the ambiance is pure French, as is the cosmopolitan yet wonderfully embraceable cuisine. Luscious aromas waft from the gleaming show rotisserie, where chicken, duck, pork, rib and veal roasts slowly turn. Each dish is a classic, ingeniously interpreted by Master Chef Pépin.Available onboard Marina and Riviera


BOLD, CONTEMPORARY ASIAN CUISINEWith a nod to feng shui, Red Ginger radiates harmony and tranquillity. The interior simply glows with ebony woods, a waterfall wall and striking, modern Asian artworks. To complement the stunning decor, Red Ginger’s chefs have created contemporary interpretations of Asian classics. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.Available onboard Marina and Riviera

THE MENU AND MOOD EVOLVEInformal and carefree, The indoor/outdoor Terrace Café is wonderfully inviting any time of day. First thing in the morning, the room is infused with natural sunlight, stimulating the appetite for the sumptuous breakfast selections. Come lunch, the expansive menu of international dishes changes entirely. Evenings, the cuisine takes on a local flair such as a hearty paella in Spain, savoury osso bucco in Italy or a rich beef bourguignon in France.


COME AS YOU ARE AND DINE ALFRESCOSometimes the ultimate luxury is casual dining. Chefs grill gourmet burgers, tangy barbecue and succulent seafood to order, accompanying them with side dishes like garden-fresh salads and crispy, hand-cut truffle fries dusted with grated aged parmesan. Then top it off with a decadent dessert such as a creamy homemade gelato, a made-to-order hot fudge sundae or a thick hand-dipped milkshake.

TEA TAKES CENTRE STAGEWith a classical string quartet softly playing, our staff glides through the room presenting four-tiered carts filled with finger sandwiches, colourful petits fours, scones with clotted cream, exquisite desserts and of course, a tempting selection of teas.
