Meals on the Red Sea Aggressor V are something to look forward to. The menu’s packed with tasty local dishes and Egyptian favourites, so you’ll always find something satisfying. Mornings kick off with fresh fruit, hot brekkie options, cereals and juice. Lunchtime means homemade bread, soups, crisp salads, sandwiches, or a delicious main dish. And in the evenings? Expect proper chef-cooked meals like seafood, beef or chicken, served up with fresh veggies and topped off with lovely homemade puds.
No worries if you’ve got special dietary requirements, just pop your preferences into your GIS reservation and have a quick word with the yacht’s chef when you arrive to make sure your meals suit you. Do bear in mind, as the yacht’s a bit off the beaten path, some speciality items might not be available. So if there’s something you can’t do without, best to bring it along. Oh, and just so you know: pork and turkey aren’t on the menu.
When it comes to drinks, you’re sorted with complimentary juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a small selection of local beer and wine. Got a favourite tipple? Best to bring it along yourself, as import duties can be a bit steep. And just a heads-up - once you’ve had a drink, you’re officially in sunbathing mode ‘til morning!
Celebrating a special occasion like a birthday, honeymoon, wedding, or milestone dive? Let the crew make it unforgettable. Just inform the US office in advance so the onboard team can prepare a little something special.
