Where to eat for your anniversary onboard?

The Wake, Pink Agave and Extra Virgin are the elegant options onboard, so perfect for an anniversary meal where romance is going to be turned up to 10.

The Wake is easy to find as it is marked by a grand staircase that you cascade down before treating yourself (and your stomach) to some tender steak.

Perfectly suited to those who love a spot of nostalgia and sophistication, The Wake oozes poise all the way down to the crafted drinking vessels and cutlery.

Whether you opt for a filet mignon, New York strip, hanger steak or New Zealand lamb chops, we can confidently say that even the biggest of meat lovers will be satisfied.

Alternatively, opt for Pink Agave which offers an elevated version of Mexican cuisine and serves up these flavoursome dishes in a range of small, medium and large plates.

So why don’t you share a handful of small and medium plates between you both and connect over a plate of guac – we couldn’t think of anything better.

Calling all carb lovers and loaders, another suave option is Extra Virgin, which combines heightened Italian ingredients with the elements that we all love about Italian – pasta and cheese.

Forget that you are sailing onboard a ship and allow yourself to be whisked away to Italy and indulge in potato gnocchi with mushrooms, spinach and truffle butter sauce and share a chocolate olive oil cake with red wine poached pears and candied almonds with that special someone.
