DINING

It is almost axiomatic that a ship of the caliber of the Mariner would offer outstanding dining. After all, superb cuisine has been a hallmark of the Radisson Seven Seas fleet since its founding. More unusual on the Mariner is the number of different dining venues available to our guests - there are four separate restaurants (including our exclusive Cordon Bleu Restaurant - Signatures) plus a poolside grill bar, making the choice of each night's dining destination a most pleasant quandary. But what is notably unique on the Mariner is the fact that it is the largest ship afloat to offer single open-seating dining in every one of her four restaurants. Which means our guests may sit with whomever they please, and they may dine whenever and wherever they wish, even in their suite, where selections from the ship's main restaurant can be ordered during dining hours and a 24-hour room service menu is also available.

They say variety is the spice of life. Surely, this proverb applies first and foremost to food! On some ships, guests go to the same dining room night after night, where they share the same table mates and eat at a set hour, sometimes under very rushed conditions. Happily, you'll never find such a meal on the Mariner. Because we've created four distinguished restaurants for our guests' enjoyment. And each is a gem of unique character and brilliance.

The Compass Rose is the Mariner's largest and most elegant restaurant. At tables gleaming with polished silver and fine china, guests dine on an ever-changing potpourri of selections ranging from the latest fusion creations and exotic taste combinations to traditional favorites such as prime rib or lobster, selections for the health conscious and more simply prepared fare for times when overworked taste buds need a respite.

At Latitudes, our smallest restaurant, we've given our chef plenty of latitude for creativity. This reservations-only hideaway features special cosmopolitan cuisine in an intimate setting. Here you'll find tableside preparation of showcase selections from all over the world, plus caviar tastings and other unique culinary events.

La Veranda's wonderfully evocative Mediterranean fare will remind you of a tempting little bistro in Provence or an inviting family-run trattoria in Parma. Think of aioli, fresh garlic dancing in sizzling olive oil and seafood so fresh you'd think they'd just hauled the catch over the stern. The atmosphere is casually elegant, and the cuisine is prepared with lavish loving care. During the day, La Veranda also serves buffet breakfasts and luncheon.

Signatures is the only restaurant at sea to be created and operated by chefs wearing the white toque and blue riband of the Cordon Bleu of Paris, the most prestigious culinary authority in the world. The ambience is classically and elegantly French, of course, and the treasured cooking techniques are those handed down by generations of Cordon Bleu chefs, but the cuisine is far from traditional - a marvelous mixture of culinary delights as inventive and eclectic as tomorrow.
