A relaxed celebration of the flavours, ambience and la dolce vita of the Mediterranean.

Inspired by sailings across crystal clear waters, the Med Yacht Club is influenced by sophisticated, beachside Mediterranean restaurants, embracing the varied cuisines of the region.

Effortlessly refined in its design, space creates a relaxed, convivial atmosphere, where bright sunshine streams through large portholes and Med-influenced music transports guests on a culinary journey inspired by the sea.

Infusing the tastes and textures of Italy, Spain, Greece, France, and North Africa – while incorporating plant-based, vegetarian and wholesome ingredients – the menu serves sharing plates for guests to enjoy with friends and family alike.

Wines too showcase the rich vineyards of the Mediterranean, with fresh juices and cocktails honouring regional produce.

Signature Dishes at Med Yacht Club

Grilled octopus, San Marzano tomato sauce, Taggiasca olives, green beans, parsley

If ever there were a singular dish to represent the importance provenance plays in the ingredients used onboard Explora Journeys, then this is surely it. Sharp sundried Taggiasca olives compliment the sweet San Marzano tomatoes, creating a perfectly balanced bed for the expertly grilled, sustainably sourced octopus.

Sweet caprese with cherry tomatoes, strawberries, burrata, pesto

A true representation of the creativity and skill of our chefs, this sweet interpretation of an Italian classic will surprise and delight in equal measure. The finest cherry tomatoes and strawberries create an intriguing base, upon which our burrata sits adorned with even more sweet tomatoes and strawberries with a drizzle of pesto from Sicilian Bronte pistachios.

Energetic all-day dining, celebrating the finest flavours from across the globe.

Drawn from the Greek word emporion (ἐμπόριον), an Emporium is defined as a place offering many different things.

Offering diverse cuisines with a focus on quality, Emporium Marketplace allows guests total flexibility in what they choose to eat, and when.

Dishes include sushi, fresh seafood and a daily rotisserie offering grilled, roasted, and slow-cooked meats. Pasta is cooked to order, and freshly baked pizzas and bread are on offer as are home-made sandwiches. Charcuterie, fromagerie, boulangerie and patisserie stations add even more choice.

A selection of wines, champagne and beverages are also available to complement meals throughout the day.

Signature Dishes at Emporium Marketplace

Handmade tortelloni, ricotta cheese, spinach, tomato-sage butter

It’s often the simplest dishes that take great skill. Our tortelloni are made onboard from scratch every day in the authentic Italian way. Carefully selected flour is used to make dough that has the correct degree of elasticity; this is essential to giving the tortelloni their mouth-watering light and silky texture.

Plant based chia yoghurt

Our chia yoghurt is daily made from homemade cashew milk, creating a fusion of delicious creamy flavours for guests to enjoy each morning.
