Explorers Tour Deck is located portside of

Medina Restaurant
This Restaurant is located
amidships and has two entrances. One via a sweeping staircase from Promenade
Deck, the other Port forward of the Restaurant. The Restaurant’s décor
has a Moorish flavour, which is introduced by the tile features lining the
walls and the large tent like umbrella features ling the ceiling. As can be
seen via the photographs below along the sides of the restaurant there are
magnificent stained glass features and superb drapes. Seating is for two, four
six and a few tables for eight. The grand piano is located mid to port of the
room, and plays upon entry at dinner.

Alexandra Restaurant
and Chocoholics
The Egypt inspired Alexandria
Restaurant is aft of the ship, thus being surrounded on three sides by full
length windows, giving a magnificent view of the ocean. Again this room has two
entrances, one by a short staircase, the other being a level one. This
restaurant is far more contemporary as the photographs will reveal. The
Egyptian flavour comes from a series of paintings of the pyramids and other
Egyptian scenes. At the entrance is the Grand Piano and a statue of two Ibis.







Regularly throughout the cruise,
various buffet lunches are featured in the Alexandra Restaurant,
offering Indian, Seafood and other specialities. However, one of the most popular
events is always the Chocoholics afternoon tea.

However, if you are interested in a cruise, I
am happy to refer you to a dedicated cruise agent in Australia,
New Zealand
or further afield on my recommended “cruise agents” page, for these
are agents that specialise in cruising and they will be able offer excellent
service you and the best fares available! Be assured, I do NOT receive any
commissions or favours from these agents, and in the vast majority of cases
these agents will not even be aware of my, or mu site’s involvement, as I
provide the enquirer with the requested information of the agents (in their
region) including their contact details. Reuben Goossens.

even refuse to remove them, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback
when it comes to the net. However, let us show the charlatans up and do the
right thing at all times and give credit where credit is due!

is, when a page is updated!
