    Local Where Possible, Practical Always

    While we sail to remote destinations where supermarkets are our primary resource, we make a concerted effort to choose local suppliers whenever possible.

    This approach helps us support the communities we visit while still providing you with fresh and flavorful meals. When available, we love to explore local farmers' markets to bring a piece of the regional cuisine onboard.

  • Sustainable Choices

    We strive to make environmentally responsible choices without overstating our efforts. While our options are sometimes limited, our commitment to choosing better when we can remains steadfast.
