Throughout the journey, the crew will capture photos, allowing you to take home cherished memories of your adventure.
Additionally, you can indulge in a variety of snacks on board, including cream pastries, apple turnovers, bacon sandwiches, olives with truffle cream cheese, cod fritters, honey biscuits, and gluten-free options. An open bar featuring alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available, offering soft drinks, cocktails, wine, beer, both still and sparkling water, tea, and coffee.
