The MV Plancius Dining Options are designed to reflect the ship’s expedition spirit — simple, hearty, and welcoming, yet always satisfying after a day exploring Antarctica. Meals are freshly prepared by the onboard culinary team, providing both comfort and nourishment for guests returning from Zodiac cruises, wildlife encounters, and hikes on the ice.
The ship’s Main Restaurant features an open-seating arrangement, creating a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. Guests are free to sit where they like, fostering camaraderie as stories of the day’s adventures are exchanged over shared meals. The menus rotate daily, offering a balance of international cuisine, classic comfort dishes, and lighter, healthier options to suit different tastes and preferences.
Breakfasts are buffet-style and designed to energize guests for the day ahead, while lunches and dinners are multi-course and served in a casual yet attentive style. The dining experience aboard Plancius is not about formal luxury, but about community and quality food in a friendly setting.
When the weather allows, guests may enjoy al fresco dining on deck, surrounded by glaciers, sea ice, and the dramatic polar landscape — a dining experience that few will ever forget. Though expedition-focused, the ship also provides flexibility for in-cabin dining, perfect for those who prefer a quieter start to the day or a private meal.
