Island Princess: Lounge in comfort while visiting exotic ports of call

Dining

Princess chefs are culinary artists who create and serve delicious cuisine. The entire fleet was inducted into the prestigious Chaine des Rotisseurs gastronomic society. Each chef's menu is a work of art and the selections change every day. Gourmet food and impeccable service make your dining dates shine.

This ship offers several formal dining rooms in the cruise tradition, with Traditional Dining at the same times for each meal, with attentive service provided by your own waiter throughout the cruise.

  • Provence Dining Room: Anytime Dining means you aren't limited to eating at a fixed time or place on the ship. Instead, the choice of when and where you want to eat is flexible, based only on your stomach's whim.
  • Bordeaux Dining Room: The ships' restaurants are always in demand, serving up local specialties and gourmet favorites. Reservations are recommended, and a cover charge applies.
