I have severe food allergies. Can you bring food on a cruise?

At Explora Journeys, we are committed to the health, safety, and overall experience of our guests. We understand your concerns about food allergies and want to assure you that we are prepared to meet your dietary needs.

Due to health and safety regulations, guests are not permitted to bring food onboard. However, we have a dedicated culinary team that is highly experienced in catering to a wide range of dietary requirements, including severe allergies. Upon booking, you can share your dietary requirements with us, and our chefs will create specially tailored meals to ensure your dining experience is safe and enjoyable.

Our kitchen areas and dining venues adhere to stringent cross-contamination protocols to safeguard against allergen exposure. We also offer allergy-friendly menus and can accommodate gluten conscious and other specific dietary needs.

For further peace of mind, our onboard medical facilities and staff are prepared to handle allergic reactions and other medical emergencies around the clock.

While we understand that managing severe food allergies is a serious concern, we're confident that we can safely and deliciously cater to your needs. We encourage you to communicate with us directly about your allergies so we can provide a worry-free and luxurious dining experience during your voyage.
