On your V I P cruise, your personal chef onboard, each day will cook a full Turkish breakfast; this will include eggs of the day, cereals, yogurt, bread or toast, jam/marmalade, fruit juice, fresh fruit, tea and coffee.

A typical Turkish lunch or dinner will usually begin with a soup or a selection of “meze” followed by the main course of meat or fish freshly caught, with seasonal vegetables, dessert and fresh fruit and of course, no meal would be complete without the chance to savor at leisure a “Turkish coffee”! Lunch and dinner will served onboard.
