Dining on board

Dining during the cruise are in the form of full board, which consists of breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, or snacks during the day and an evening buffet. Water and some soft drinks from vending machines are available free of charge during meals. During the day, meals are not subject to any increased social rules. Please note that no shoes or outer clothing are allowed in any restaurant, i.e. entering the restaurant in, for example, a swimsuit is not permitted).

In general, the gastronomy on the ship is of a really high standard and you need to watch your slim line. In case you are leaving the ship for a day trip, it is not possible to prepare meals for this your private trip. However, it is possible to purchase cruise company trips with lunch. During the cruise, there are sometimes special presentations of Italian cuisine combined with preparation right in front of the clients. For most of our clients, dining on the ship is a real gourmet experience - the choice is very varied and will satisfy even the most demanding diners. If fish is welcome on your menu, you win. The local fish specialties and fish soups are really great.

You will also be taken care of if you decide to spend the day, or part of it, in the privacy of your cabin. Room service with meal delivery (extra charge) is available 24 hours a day.

Approximate serving times: breakfast 6.30 - 10.00, lunch 12.00 - 15.30.

Served restaurants

Breakfast and lunch

For breakfast and lunch you can use the served restaurants, which are usually located on deck 5. On arrival, the service staff will seat you at a table and you choose from a menu. Clients who have ordered drinks packages will receive them from the restaurant manager on the first evening. about ordering the packets. If it is your birthday, you can order birthday cake, chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling wine, etc. at the restaurant. Of course, this service is at an extra cost. Drinks ordered in restaurants are charged to your bill.

Dinner

Dinner in the main restaurant is a social event and, according to the planned schedule, requires appropriate dress. Guests who prefer to forgo formality may take advantage of the buffet restaurant service.Dinner service is divided into two sessions on most ships: 1. around 6pm and 2. around 9pm (times may vary by company or ship, see daily cruise schedule). For our clients we try to arrange mostly the first seating, but this is not the rule. You do not have a choice of seating when purchasing a Bella cruise. This will be determined by the cruise company.

Dinners are served in restaurants whose name and time is listed on your magnetic ship card. It is necessary to be on time for dinner and to observe social etiquette. If you arrive late, you will not be admitted to the restaurant. No drinks from the drinks machines are allowed at dinner during dinner. CK RIVIERA TOUR has prepared a menu for you in the departure instructions, translated into Czech. It is recommended to participate in the dinners served in the restaurants during the gala dinners and Italian Day.

Dinners are held in the style of Italian comfort and enjoy great food and wine and it is necessary to count on a dinner time of about an hour and a half.

Buffet restaurants

During the day you can also visit the buffet restaurant, which is usually at the stern of the ship on the upper floors. It is usually open from early in the morning until late at night (until about 2:00 am), where you can also go for pizza or sandwiches during the late evening. As a rule of thumb, you can't go hungry on the boat. Please note that this is a buffet restaurant and there is no or very limited service. Food, drinks and snacks are provided by the client to the tables.

Specialty restaurants

In some specialised (ala carte) restaurants a reservation is required in advance and a reservation fee is payable (approx. 20 - 25 €). The ship's restaurants, or parts of them, are themed and can therefore offer a wide range of cuisines: from a classic buffet for every diner, to light Italian cuisine, gourmet delights with the signature of French chef de cuisine, exotically scented Asian specialities and succulent steaks from the American prairies.

Health restrictions and diets

The ship's chefs do not forget about diners with special requirements. For example, vegetarian, gluten-free or diabetic meals can be arranged on request. This type of diet must be requested when concluding the travel contract.

For more information about diets, intolerances and other dietary restrictions on the ship, see Health Restrictions, Mobility and Diets.
