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.

I sailed on The Athena from
I sailed on The Athena from Rome to Singapore at the end of 2010.
I found the crew onboard were absolutely amazing, very attentive and friendly.
The ship is very professionally run, deck crew and Captain excellent.
Food is of course a highlight of a cruise and this was certainly true on the Athena.
The cabins were very comfortable and well appointed with a bath which I love.
The crew made every effort to make our cruise perfect and they succeeded.
I would love to travel onboard her again.
Thank you so much for the
