Onboard meals

Inclusive Meals & Onboard Refreshments

On your Rosslare–Dunkirk crossing, four meals at our self-service restaurant are included in your fare. Whether you're after a hearty meal or a lighter bite, there's something for you. Soft drinks, tea, and coffee are also included.

Kick off your voyage with a three-course dinner to settle in and enjoy your first evening at sea. For breakfast, our generous buffet awaits featuring plenty of fully cooked options alongside lighter continental ones as well. At lunchtime, the buffet returns with a similarly hearty spread, now joined by a carvery station for something a little more substantial. Round off your crossing with a relaxed final dinner of comforting classics, such as gnocchi, pasta, pizza, or lasagna.

If you have any dietary requirements, simply let us know when you book, and our chefs will be happy to accommodate you. We regularly cater for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.

Entertainment & Shopping Onboard

If you’re travelling with your family, be sure to check out the children’s play area onboard! Let their imaginations run wild as they get stuck in with the various activities and toys on offer.

Both our Victoria Seaways and Athena Seaways vessels have a shop onboard where you can browse and treat yourselves. Our Dunkirk-Rosslare ferry is a longer crossing, so we also recommend bringing your own activities such as books and magazines to keep yourself occupied. Additionally, we offer wi-fi packages for purchase onboard to help you stay connected if you wish.
