This is a sampling of the cuisine you will enjoy aboard Aurora.  Sam will tailor menus to your specific preferences as well as the availability of ingredients in the ports we visit.  Both Sam and Rich love to put on theme nights, so if you’d like an evening brimming with Caribbean flavors, a dinner straight from Tuscany, or perhaps a menu of favorites from Merrie Olde England, just ask.  Sam is very adept at catering to special diets, too.  For example, she received rave reviews from an Atkins enthusiast for her vegetarian fiesta!
