While You Are Travelling With APT
Dining
Two onboard restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the gastronomic restaurant, breakfast (served typically from 7am to 9am) and lunch are in the form of a buffet. In the evenings, refined set menus and a la carte dishes are served to your table in an elegant atmosphere. In the pool deck restaurant, all meals are in the form of a buffet in a relaxed atmosphere – a booking may be required. Room service is available all day.
Vegetarian and Gluten free can be catered for – but please inform us of any dietary requirements well in advance of departure.
Dress Code
Dress on board is always casual and informal. We suggest dressing in layers for your comfort and safety. Sturdy walking shoes or sneakers with a good grip sole are all you need. You may like to bring some ‘smart casual’ options for the evenings and more formal attire for the Captain’s Reception and Farewell Dinner.
Laundry
A laundry service is available to you during your cruise. Price lists, bags and laundry slips can be found in your cabin wardrobe.
Currency
The currency aboard the ship is the Euro. The US dollar is also accepted. For souvenirs along the way, we suggest you carry a small amount of USD, as well as your Visa or MasterCard.
