Dining becomes an event with every meal when you explore the extraordinary range of superlative restaurants onboard. With enough options to keep you tantalized for the duration of your voyage, you can find a new favorite dish every day. Chefs onboard refine their culinary skills to ensure that each plate is presented with the most delectable flavors and fabulous presentation so that your meals rival the greatest restaurants on shore. For Old World Italian, take a seat at Tuscan Grille, an elegant restaurant with a contemporary touch that recalls the beauty of Italy's finest enotecas. Here, you'll enjoy handmade pasta, butcher-cut meat, salami, steak, regional Italian wines and more. When you're in the mood for Japanese fare, try Sushi on Five, a modern take on traditional sushi, served on dazzling white plates to showcase the artistry of your selections. Throughout your voyage, choose poolside dining so that you don't have to interrupt the fun or dress to the nines for Murano or Blu, two elegant, city-inspired restaurants, each with their own character. A spa restaurant means you can continue the quietude while dining between treatments. And if you need another reason to upgrade to the suite class, the private restaurant Luminae might be it.
