Dining

The MPS Da Vinci’s luxury certainly extends to its elegant restaurant, situated on the Main Deck. You’ll dine in style and admire the breathtaking views throughout your voyage.

Restaurant

Help yourself to the breakfast buffet, with a wide choice of English and Continental items to choose from. At lunch, choose from a sumptuous buffet or a three-course lunch served to your table.

Your four-course evening meal includes starter, soup, choice of fish or meat main course (vegetarian option on request) and a tempting dessert – all expertly crafted by the on-board chef. And on one evening you’ll enjoy a very special five-course Captain’s dinner – one of the many highlights of the MPS Da Vinci experience.

Entertainment

Setting foot on board the MPS Da Vinci, feels like you’re walking into an exclusive floating private members’ club. And it’s a club where you’ll always feel more than welcome.

And although the MPS Da Vinci exudes luxury, it’s certainly not formal and stuffy. You’ll find the friendly, relaxed atmosphere you’d expect from Shearings, with helpful, professional staff for whom nothing’s too much trouble and like-minded travellers to share your MPS Da Vinci experience.

Lounge

The spacious lounge feels like an inviting front room in a good friend’s home. Sink into the large, comfortable sofa, tinkle the ivories on the baby grand piano, or warm your feet by the open fire.

Library

You’ll find peace and tranquillity in the impressive library, the ideal place to lose yourself in a good book.
