It will offer buffet-style breakfasts and lunches, with à la carte dinner options highlighting live cooking demonstrations. Each voyage will feature a gala dinner in Belhana, showcasing a multi-course menu rooted in regional culinary traditions.

Cultural and entertainment activities will take place in “The Observatory," the ship’s main lounge and event space.
