With a yacht-like ambience, Arion has a particular style, charm and grace which can only be found on vessels of this size. Recently refurbished, Arion is able to offer you a truly memorable cruising experience combined with a service that is second to none.
In March 2000, the Arion underwent a total reconstruction made in Lisbon on the amount of 15 million dollars. Her interiors were designed and decorated by Arminio Lozzi and George Potamianos, who were able to create a subtle atmosphere of light blending and soft colours through it's new public rooms and passenger cabins. Renamed as "Arion" and coming under Arcalia's management in 2000, the ship has been sailing since then around the globe.
Aboard, the restaurant provides a warm and relaxing environment in which to enjoy the leisurely prepared meals prepared for you by our international Chefs. Classic International Cruises menus are designed under the personal supervision of our Corporate Chef, Laurent Manceau. Alternatively you may wish to enjoy lunch "al fresco" style in the Lido Lounge Bar, and don't forget afternoon tea when you can savour a selection of finger sandwiches, fresh warm scones and a choice of tea from the wide selection carried on board. .
A cruise on board Arion is the ideal choice for passengers wishing to visit cosy harbours and ports of call larger vessels are not able to access. After a perfect day ashore or simply relaxing on deck, why not enjoy an after dinner drink in one of Arion's intimate lounges before taking in the show or enjoying the night sky from the open deck.

Classic International Cruises, whose chefs are long established members of such culinary institutions as Les Amis d'Escoffier and the Academie Culinaire de Lyon firmly believe that one of the great pleasures of cruising is good food and fine wine. Whether you are dining in the elegant restaurant or having a buffet style breakfast or luncheon in more casual surroundings, you will not be disappointed.
Light and airy restaurants let in the sunshine so you can enjoy being served a full English breakfast or a four course lunch, whilst in the evening, with the subtle changes of atmosphere, there is a stylish elegance. A beautiful setting to savour the culinary experience carefully prepared into delightful menus designed to appeal to the most discerning palates. From the Sail Away Dinner on your first night aboard to the final breakfast before you disembark, you will find a tempting array of delights awaiting your pleasure.
Certain shipboard traditions such as the Captain's Gala Welcome and Farewell Dinners, elegant afternoon teas, and late night snacks that culminate once a cruise into a Buffet Magnifique are all scrupulously observed. A deck barbecue, whether served by the light of the Midnight Sun or sailing away in the balmy evening from a Greek island is yet another occasion for the chefs to display their skills.
Some specially selected fine wines from the wine list will complement your meal and of course, smiling, attentive service always adds to the pleasures of dining.
