Every destination has its own flavours, recipes and traditions and we like to bring some of that spirit onboard. 🍽️

From different cuisines to dishes inspired by the places Vasco da Gama visits, variety is part of the experience.

On World Food Day, we celebrate gastronomy as a way of discovering, respecting and appreciating the cultures we meet along the journey.

He almost had us fooled. 😄

Apron on, bowl in hand… but those stripes on the shoulders give it away: Captain Adrian Firsov is still very much in command.

Just one of those fun moments that make life onboard feel a little more personal.
