Onboard Dining
DINING ARRANGEMENTS
Dining arrangements on the Aegean
Odyssey are “Open Seating”, meaning
there are no pre-assigned tables or
separate sittings. All dining hours are
arranged to suit the ship’s time in port
and the shore excursion programs.
THE MARCO POLO (Lunch* & Dinner)
The most formal of the ship’s
restaurants, the Marco Polo, has a
full waiter service, casual country-club
elegance and Mediterranean influenced
food. At lunchtime, you can choose
from a variety of starters such as Parma
ham and melon or tricolore salad,
three dishes of the day including
grilled fish, a pasta special and a
choice of desserts, fruit and cheese.
In the evening, dinner will include
appetizers, soup, salads, a choice
of three or four main courses and
desserts. Vegetarian options are
available. The complimentary house
wines are carefully sourced from Italy,
Sicily and Greece. There is also a full
wine list of superior vintages available
for purchase.
*Except on days when we operate a full-day
excursion.
THE TERRACE CAFÉ (Breakfast, Lunch
& Dinner)
With a combination of indoor
and outdoor seating, sophisticated
Mediterranean interior design
and cooking on the open grill, the
Terrace Café replicates the charm
and ambiance of a seaside trattoria.
The day starts in the Terrace Café
with breakfast when you can either
enjoy a healthy combination of
yoghurt, fruit and muesli or
indulge in eggs, bacon or omelette.
For lunch, freshly grilled selections
are available and there is a large buffet
with hot dishes of the day, a selection
of salads, Italian antipasti such as
bruschetta, beef carpaccio or fresh
mozzarella drizzled with virgin olive
oil. Pasta is served with a choice of
homemade Italian sauces and for
dessert there is a large selection
including ice creams. For liquid
refreshment there is a wine and
aperitif bar.
TAPAS ON THE TERRACE (Dinner)
In the evenings, Tapas on the Terrace
recreates the informal yet sophisticated
atmosphere of a Mediterranean bistro.
Here you can choose from a selection
of mouthwatering appetizers, try our delicious seafood paella or pick from the wide range of authentic Italian pizzas.
Equal care has been given to the selection of the house wines, complimentary with dinner, served at Tapas on the Terrace; these will be served at your table by our helpful waiting staff.
AFTERNOON TEA
There is something magical about
the tradition of taking tea at sea.
On
afternoons when you are not ashore,
a selection of freshly-prepared
sandwiches, cakes and scones will
be served in the Observation Lounge
and Charleston Lounge. Accompanying
these is, of course, a selection of
refreshing teas and a choice of coffees.
A cup of Darjeeling, a slice of freshly
baked cake and the panoramic views
of the Mediterranean: the perfect
combination.
ROOM SERVICE
If you prefer to start your day in the
comfort of your cabin, then our room
service staff will be happy to bring a
continental breakfast. There is also a
limited room service menu available
throughout the day from noon to
midnight, except on embarkation/
disembarkation days.
SPECIAL DIETS
Please let us know at the time of
booking of any special dietary
requirements, especially those
guests that have highly restrictive
food allergies and strict medical needs. The Aegean Odyssey can meet most
general requests such as those for
weight, cholesterol, dairy-free,
vegetarian, and heart-healthy diets.
Guests with highly restrictive food
allergies should make themselves
known to the Maitre D’ when onboard.
While all due care is taken in meeting
guests’ preference, it is still the guests’
responsibility to exercise control,
just as they would in their home
environment.
