Dining aboard Helix
Our day cruises aboard Helix include a three-course lunch, with all aperitifs, wines and spirits served with our compliments. For parties of up to four people, we offer a three-course lunch from the menu below left. We will need to know your choices from this menu for each member of your party when you book the cruise. This enables us to provision Helix to your requirements, as all meals are freshly cooked for you in the galley. For parties of five or six we offer the buffet menu below right. The buffet format gives you more freedom to circulate and allows us to offer you a wider variety of dishes.
