vegetarian and low calorie options with every meal. So, whatever you taste,
you'll be able to marvel at the creativity and skill of our European chefs.
YOUR KIND OF PLACE

you can savor different styles. Taka a mid-morning break, stopping for a
cappuccino in the colonial-style Palm Court. Or unwind over an afternoon tea
at sea-another Marco Polo tradition. Dinner, whether at the Seven Seas or at
Raffles, remains a highlight of any day at sea. You can also dine in your
stateroom, should you choose, or drop by the Charleston Club, Polo Lounge or
the Casino for a late-night snack after the show.
