The Dining Club, tucked away on Deck 5, rustles up French contemporary food with a modern twist. We’ve taken French staples up a notch – you'll start your dining experience with seared scallops in Champagne butter, or chicken liver and truffle crème brûlée. Then, for the main course, you can pick from a rich chateaubriand for two, tender lamb, or lobster. You’ll end your meal with something sweet – a peach soufflé and an indulgent chocolate dish are on the menu. Or, you could opt for a curated selection of British and French cheeses.

It also hosts The Great Musical Afternoon Tea. This weekly event brings the West End to Marella Cruises, with dishes inspired by famous musicals – like the ‘Vietnamese Melody’ beef tenderloin yakitori and the ‘On My Own’ Petit choux. There are six teas to choose from, as well as a cocktail of your choice. Plus, the whole place is decorated with show posters and memorabilia. Just so you know, The Great Musical Afternoon Tea is a chargeable event.
