Dining

Albatros Expeditions' carefully designed menu has been developed in the interest of maintaining the well-being of guests, while emphasising freshness, diversity and delectable choices.

Dinner always starts with delicious hot soups, cold cuts and crisp, fresh salads. Several choices of entrees are offered each evening, to accommodate different tastes and dietary requirements; always including a meat choice, fish choice and vegetarian choice.

After dinner, indulge in freshly-prepared desserts, including ship-made ice cream or cakes... A great way to end a meal and satisfy any sweet tooth!

On board Ocean Victory, you will find kitchen professionals and chefs who take great pride in bringing gastronomic experiences to keep your tastebuds satisfied.

When the first explorers began their Antarctic undertakings, they had little choice and even less variety in their nourishment options.

Dining at the bottom of the world was not a delicacy, but a duty necessary for survival. Luckily for us, today is another story.

Meals are served in the bright and spacious Beagle Restaurant, where spectacular views provide the perfect atmosphere for the daily culinary selection.
