CELEBRITY CHEFS & DINING
Dining at sea should be an event every day. That's why P&O Cruises work with top chefs to develop interesting and varied menus befitting of your luxurious surroundings. Simply put, P&O love food. Not just for what it is, but for what it brings with it; exquisite surroundings, great company and conversation, silver-service waiters who become friends and, of course, fine wines from around the world.
All their chefs have been inducted into the prestigious ‘The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs’ gastronomic society - a society devoted to promoting and developing gastronomic values and their passion for premium quality is clearly reflected in every mouthful.
Inclusive in your fare are sumptuous silver-service restaurants, buffets offering a wide choice of high-quality cuisines from around the world and informal pool-side restaurants. In addition to the main restaurants, P&O Cruises’ ships offer smaller speciality restaurants such as the Ocean Grill by Marco Pierre White where a modest cover charge applies.
