MV ORION – DINING
MV Orion Dining
Constellation Restaurant
Like everything else about Orion Expedition Cruises, the on-board cuisine is bold, elegant and world class. Award-winning chef Serge Dansereau, of The Bathers' Pavilion in Sydney, has put together a series of menus inspired by the culinary traditions of the regions visited, featuring the local produce and flavours. The menus have been designed to complement each other, allowing guests to sample a variety of dishes. Example dishes include red snapper with panzanella and basil aioli, tuna sashimi with softshell crab and rib eye steak with kipfler potatoes.
The broad range of wines has been selected to complement the dishes served and hail from boutique wineries and well-known vineyards across the world.
Dinner is served free of fixed table arrangements to allow flexibility. Alternatively, guests may choose to dine on deck under the stars.
