  • The Grand Dining Room: The Grand Dining Room is a study in stateliness, a tribute to the spirit of Europe's marquee five-star hotel restaurants that inspired its dignified yet convivial ambiance. Handsomely decorated in rich woods, designer tapestry fabrics, and oversized armchairs, the expansive dining area exudes classic splendor. This signature dining experience has always offered a bevy of delicious Continental dishes, and now a fresh and new array of options brings you even more exciting choices, as well as an incredible spectrum of global flavors and an all-new Executive Chef's Tasting Menu. As variety is essential to your satisfaction, menus change daily with an expansive choice of at least 10 appetizers, soups, and salads and 10 dinner entrees, along with healthy options such as Aquamar Vitality Cuisine, gourmet vegetarian selections, and the most extensive array of plant-based dishes at sea.
  • Toscana: Toscana means Tuscan, and just as Tuscan cuisine evolved from rich family traditions, many of the recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of their Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, masterfully prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany and celebrate Italy's culinary passion. Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce. Classic dishes from other regions of Northern Italy are featured as well, such as the minestrone alla Genovese, lasagna al Forno alla Bolognese, and osso buco alla Milanese.
  • Polo Grill: Polo Grill embodies all the elements of a classic steakhouse, expressing them with timeless reverence. Mindful of tradition, the decor features crisp, white linen tablecloths, dark wood furnishings, and supple, high-back, burgundy leather chairs. Each course stands as the very definition of time-honored favorites, most notably the beef dishes, all of which are certified Black Angus USDA Prime and dry-aged to enhance tenderness and flavor. Succulent seafood dishes such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinee are also classics in their own right. The classic Caesar salad, too, is prepared according to tradition, tableside and with gusto.
  • Terrace Cafe: Informal and carefree, the Terrace Cafe is wonderfully inviting any time of day. During breakfast, the room is infused with natural sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows, stimulating the appetite for the sumptuous selections. Come lunch, the expansive menu of international-inspired dishes changes entirely, complemented by a flavorful roast and the magic of the pizzeria's oven. Dine inside or alfresco at one of the shaded teak tables on the terrace. During the evenings, the cuisine takes on a more sophisticated flair, with lobster tails, chops, and fresh fish prepared to order, and freshly made hand-cut sushi and sashimi. In addition, a diverse selection of bold and flavorful plant-based dishes is available.
  • Waves Grill: Sometimes, the ultimate luxury is casual dining on all-American favorites, a laid-back style Waves Grill epitomizes. Located in a spacious, shaded area steps from the swimming pool, Waves Grill offers an extensive and mouthwatering menu. Then try a decadent dessert such as a homemade passion fruit sorbet, a made-to-order hot fudge sundae, a hand-dipped milkshake, or one of the new, whimsical ice cream flavors by Humphry Slocombe, such as Secret Breakfast, Elvis (the Fat Years) or the signature flavor, Regatta Royale.
  • Afternoon Tea: Teatime is a celebratory daily event at four o'clock. As a classical string quartet plays softly, staff presents bountiful four-tiered pastry carts filled with freshly made finger sandwiches, petits fours, scones, and sinful desserts. Of course, a selection of traditional and artisanal teas is the centerpiece of this splendid afternoon pastime.
  • Room Service: After a day of enriching shore excursions ashore or various activities on board, you may dine in the privacy of your suite or stateroom with compliments. An extensive Room Service menu is available around the clock. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner on your private veranda, as you take in spectacular seascapes.
