If you are looking for a more informal setting of your cruise we can offer a buffet style dinner. This experience offers mostly standing- and seated options in a cozy and informal setting. Due to the fact we don't use fixed luxury set tables you can walk around and talk with more people then a regular 'sitting' dinner. For the buffet cruise we have several options, for example BBQ, Tapas, Sushi, Chinese and local Dutch cuisine. All options served by our chef on-board that will make sure everything runs very smooth. It's good to know that all dishes are served on small plats so clients can easily enjoy this food (standing or sitting).
